Ingredients
- 1 cup of Butterfinger crumbs (crushed Butterfinger bars or pre-crushed Butterfinger bits)
- 1 cup of creamy peanut butter (smooth is best)
- 2 cups of powdered sugar
- 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits as an alternative)
- 1–2 cups of chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet, for coating)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Prepare Butterfinger Crumbs:
Crush your Butterfinger bars (or use pre-crushed Butterfinger bits) until you have about 1 cup of crumbs. These should be small chunks or fine crumbs.Mix the Base:
In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and Butterfinger crumbs. Stir until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency that is sticky but firm enough to hold its shape.Shape the Balls:
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 tablespoon in size, using your hands. Adjust the size if desired, but smaller balls are easier to handle.Chill the Balls:
Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30-60 minutes, or until firm.Coat with Chocolate:
Melt chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring every 20-30 seconds. Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the chocolate-covered balls back on the parchment paper.
Let the Coating Set:
Return the balls to the fridge for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is set and firm.
Notes
- Substitutions: Use natural peanut butter for a healthier option, or swap chocolate with dairy-free varieties for a vegan version. You can also use a sugar substitute in place of powdered sugar for a low-carb alternative.
- Storage: Store the balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
