Kitchen Equipment Needed

Mixing bowl
Electric mixer or stand mixer (optional)
Spoon or spatula
Baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper
Small saucepan (for melting chocolate, if desired)
Fork or dipping tools (for dipping in chocolate)

Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
6 Butterfinger candy bars, finely crushed
12 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate, chopped (for dipping, optional)

Directions

Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well combined. You can use an electric mixer for ease, but a good old-fashioned spoon or spatula works just fine too!
Add the Butterfinger Crunch: Gently fold in the finely crushed Butterfinger candy bars, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the peanut butter mixture. This is where the magic happens!
Shape the Balls: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the peanut butter mixture and roll them into balls using your hands. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
Melt the Chocolate (Optional): If you want to take these treats to the next level, melt the semisweet or milk chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between.
Dip the Balls: Using a fork or dipping tools, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating them evenly. Tap off any excess chocolate before placing the coated balls back onto the baking sheet.
Chill to Set: Pop the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set and firm.
Storage: Once set, transfer your Butterfinger Balls to an airtight container for storage.
