Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, crushed Butterfinger, powdered sugar, and butter. Mix until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
  2. Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Coating
  1. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each until smooth.
  2. 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.
  3. Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for faster results.

Notes

For a smoother coating, add 1 tsp of coconut oil to the melting chocolate. Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture if desired. Store the balls in the fridge for a firmer consistency or leave them at room temperature for a softer texture. These can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
