🍯
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 ½ cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 6 fun-size bars)
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or melting wafers)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
🥣
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat together peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. - Add the Dry Ingredients:
Gradually mix in the powdered sugar until well combined and slightly stiff. - Add the Crunch:
Fold in the crushed Butterfinger pieces until evenly distributed. - Shape the Balls:
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill in the freezer for 20–30 minutes, until firm. - Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips (and coconut oil, if using) in 20–30 second intervals, stirring until smooth. - Dip and Coat:
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
Place the coated balls back onto the parchment paper. - Set and Serve:
Let them set at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator until firm.
