(Makes 24–30 balls)
2 (2.1 oz) Butterfinger candy bars, finely crushed (about 2 cups)
½ cup (125g) creamy peanut butter (use classic Jif or Skippy—not natural)
2 tbsp powdered sugar (helps bind without drying)
1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
12 oz (340g) milk chocolate chips or melting wafers, for coating
Optional: Crushed Butterfinger for topping1. Make the Filling
In a bowl, combine crushed Butterfingers, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and butter.
Stir until a thick, moldable mixture forms (it will be crumbly but hold when pressed).
2. Roll the Balls
Scoop 1-tbsp portions and roll into smooth balls.
Place on a parchment-lined tray.
Freeze 15 minutes to firm up (critical for clean dipping!).
3. Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips or wafers in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
Optional: Add 1 tsp coconut oil for extra shine.
