Ingredients
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups crushed Butterfinger bars
- For the Coating:
- 3 cups milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, mix 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and 1 cup of softened unsalted butter until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Add Powdered Sugar
Gradually add 4 cups of powdered sugar to the mixture, mixing thoroughly until you achieve a sweet dough that is firm enough to roll.
Step 3: Incorporate Crushed Butterfinger Bars
Stir in 2 cups of crushed Butterfinger bars to introduce a delightful crunch into the filling.
Step 4: Roll into Balls
Take small portions of the dough and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5: Melt the Chocolate Coating
Using a double boiler or the microwave, melt 3 cups of milk chocolate chips until silky smooth. If using the microwave, do so in short bursts to prevent burning.
Step 6: Dip the Balls
Carefully dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are completely coated in the chocolate.
Step 7: Set the Chocolate
Place the chocolate-coated treats back on the parchment paper and allow them to set until the chocolate becomes firm
Step 8: Enjoy or Share
Once set, indulge in these delicious Butterfinger Balls alone or share them with friends for a delightful treat!
