Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
Sweeteners:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Coating:
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, finely pulverized Butterfinger candy bars, sifted powdered sugar, and softened butter, blending thoroughly until a uniform, cohesive mixture forms.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, carefully shape the mixture into compact, uniform spheres approximately one inch in diameter, positioning each ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the balls to chill for approximately 25-35 minutes, ensuring they become firm and maintain their shape.
- Prepare a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl to gently melt chocolate chips, stirring occasionally to achieve a smooth, glossy consistency without scorching.
- Remove the chilled balls from the freezer and methodically dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage by using a fork or dipping tool.
- Carefully return the chocolate-coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing excess chocolate to drip off and create a clean, refined appearance.
- Place the coated balls in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to rapidly set the chocolate coating, creating a crisp, glossy shell around the creamy peanut butter center.
Notes
- Experiment with different chocolate coatings like dark, milk, or white chocolate for varied flavor profiles.
- Crush Butterfingers finely to ensure a smooth, even texture throughout the mixture.
- Chill the mixture before rolling to make handling easier and prevent sticky hands.
- Store these treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, maintaining their delightful crunch and creamy texture.
