Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 (16-oz) box powdered sugar
- 2½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 (1.9-oz) Butterfinger bars, crushed
Wet Ingredients
- 1¼ cup butter, melted
- 1½ cups crunchy peanut butter
Coating
- 1 (24-oz) package chocolate almond bark or chocolate candy coating
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, crushed Butterfinger bars, melted butter, and crunchy peanut butter until thoroughly combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
- Shape Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls using your hands. Place them on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up and make them easier to coat.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate almond bark or chocolate candy coating according to the package instructions until smooth and ready for dipping.
- Dip Balls: Remove the peanut butter balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Set the Coating: Place the dipped balls on parchment or wax paper. Allow them to sit at room temperature until the chocolate coating is fully set and firm.
Notes
- Crushing Butterfinger bars finely is key for even texture throughout the balls.
- Refrigerating the balls before dipping helps maintain their shape and prevents melting during chocolate coating.
- Store finished Butterfinger Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- You can use milk or semi-sweet chocolate bark as an alternative to almond bark.
- For easier handling, use toothpicks or a fork to dip the balls in chocolate and tap off excess coating.
