Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Mixing bowl
• spoon or spatula
• microwave-safe bowl
• parchment paper
• baking sheet
• fork
• small cookie scoop (optional)

Ingredients

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, crushed Butterfinger, powdered sugar, and butter. Mix until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms.

Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.

Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each until smooth.

Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.

Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for faster results.
