Ingredients

Scale

For the Butterfinger Filling:

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Butterfinger candy bars, crushed

For the Chocolate Coating:

12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp shortening

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, blend together creamy peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Stir in the crushed Butterfinger candy bars until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 2: Form the Balls

Roll the filling mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until they firm up nicely.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate Coating

While the balls are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and shortening together in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir every 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and silky.

Step 4: Coat the Balls

Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off before returning each ball to the baking sheet.

Step 5: Set the Chocolate

Place the coated balls back in the fridge and chill until the chocolate has set completely. Your Butterfinger Balls are now ready to enjoy!
