Description
Bite-sized, no-bake treats combining creamy peanut butter, crushed Butterfinger candy, and a smooth chocolate coating. Perfect for parties, make-ahead snacks, or a nostalgic sweet tooth fix.
Ingredients
- Creamy peanut butter, 1 cup
- Powdered sugar, 1 cup
- Butterfinger candy bars, 6 full-size bars, crushed
- Chocolate chips (semisweet or milk), 2 cups
- Shortening or coconut oil, 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Clear counter space and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1 cup powdered sugar, stirring until smooth.
- Add 6 crushed Butterfinger bars to the peanut butter mixture and fold until evenly distributed.
- Chill the mixture for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up for easier rolling.
- Roll the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 cups chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon shortening or coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals until smooth.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off, and return to the parchment-lined sheet.
- Let the chocolate set in the refrigerator until firm, about 15 to 30 minutes.
- Serve chilled or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Chill the mixture before rolling to prevent the balls from falling apart.
- Pulse Butterfinger bars in a food processor for fine crumbs, or crush by hand for chunkier texture.
- If chocolate becomes too thick, stir in a bit more shortening or coconut oil.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze for up to three months.
