Equipment

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz chocolate bark or chocolate chips for coating
- 1/2 cup Butterfinger bars crushed
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter not natural
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- Extra crushed Butterfinger bars or sprinkles optional, for decorating
- Coarse sea salt optional, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Step 1: Beat softened butter and peanut butter together in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. If needed, microwave butter for 10 seconds to soften.
- Step 2: Add vanilla extract and mix well to combine.
- Step 3: Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing on low speed. Scrape down bowl sides to ensure even blending.
- Step 4: Fold in graham cracker crumbs and crushed Butterfinger bars until mixture is thick but pliable.
- Step 5: Scoop about 1 to 1½ tablespoons of mixture and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making balls roughly the same size.
- Step 6: Freeze balls for about 30 minutes to firm up for easier dipping.
- Step 7: Melt chocolate bark or chips in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Step 8: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled ball fully in melted chocolate. Shake off excess and place back on parchment-lined sheet.
- Step 9: While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle extra crushed Butterfinger bars, sprinkles, or a pinch of coarse sea salt on top if desired.
- Step 10: Let chocolate harden completely at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker setting. Once set, balls are ready to enjoy or package.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in fridge or at room temperature before serving. Use dairy-free butter and chocolate for a dairy-free version. Try almond or sunflower seed butter as peanut butter substitutes. Add chopped nuts, cinnamon, or bourbon for extra flavor.
