Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 (16-oz) box powdered sugar
- 2½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 (1.9-oz) Butterfinger bars, crushed
Wet Ingredients
- 1¼ cups butter, melted
- 1½ cups crunchy peanut butter
Coating
- 1 (24-oz) package chocolate almond bark or preferred chocolate candy coating
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, crushed Butterfinger bars, melted butter, and crunchy peanut butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Form Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. Place each formed ball onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Chill: Refrigerate the prepared balls for 30 minutes to allow them to firm up, making them easier to handle for coating.
- Melt Chocolate: While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate almond bark or your preferred chocolate candy coating according to the package instructions, ensuring a smooth, glossy consistency.
- Dip Balls: Once chilled, dip each ball individually into the melted chocolate, using a fork or dipping tool to coat completely. Lift and gently shake off excess chocolate before placing back onto parchment paper-lined sheet.
- Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate coating to set at room temperature or place the tray back into the refrigerator briefly until the chocolate hardens completely, sealing in the delicious centers.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use natural crunchy peanut butter without added sugars.
- Store the Butterfinger balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can use semi-sweet or milk chocolate in place of almond bark if preferred.
- Chilling the balls before dipping helps prevent them from falling apart during coating.
- These are perfect for holiday treats, parties, or as a gift idea.
