  • 1 1/2 cups crunchy peanut butter
  • 5 regular-sized Butterfinger bars (about 1 cup), crushed
  • 12 oz dark chocolate chips
  • Sprinkles (optional, for decorating)

Directions

Step 1: Crush the Graham Crackers

  1. Use a food processor or a Ziploc bag to crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs (about 2 cups).

Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugar

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).

Step 3: Add Peanut Butter

  1. Stir in crunchy peanut butter until fully incorporated into the mixture.

Step 4: Mix in Crushed Butterfingers and Crumbs

  1. Add the crushed Butterfingers and graham cracker crumbs to the bowl and mix until a dough forms.

Step 5: Chill the Dough

  1. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm it up for easier shaping.

Step 6: Shape into Balls

  1. Once chilled, scoop out dough and form it into small balls. Place them on a baking sheet or plate.

Step 7: Melt Chocolate

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

Step 8: Coat the Balls

  1. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Tap off any excess chocolate.

Step 9: Decorate and Set

  1. Place the chocolate-covered balls back on the baking sheet. If desired, decorate with sprinkles. Let the chocolate set for about 10 minutes.

Step 10: Store and Enjoy

  1. Store the Butterfinger Balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Enjoy!

Tips for Success

  1. Use Crunchy Peanut Butter: It adds texture and enhances the flavor with its extra crunch.
  2. Chill Dough: Chilling the dough makes it easier to form into perfect balls.
  3. Customize the Toppings: Try drizzling extra chocolate on top, or adding colorful sprinkles for fun.
