Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 (16-oz) box powdered sugar
- 2½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 (1.9-oz) Butterfinger bars, crushed
Wet Ingredients
- 1¼ cups butter, melted
- 1½ cups crunchy peanut butter
Coating
- 1 (24-oz) package chocolate almond bark or preferred chocolate candy coating
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, crushed Butterfinger bars, melted butter, and crunchy peanut butter. Use a sturdy spoon or your hands to mix everything together until fully combined and a thick mixture forms.
- Form Balls: Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. Place each formed ball onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Chill: Refrigerate the formed balls for 30 minutes. This chilling step firms up the mixture, making them easier to dip in chocolate without breaking apart.
- Melt Chocolate: Following the package instructions, melt the chocolate almond bark or your preferred chocolate candy coating until smooth and glossy. This can usually be done using a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler.
- Dip Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated balls back on parchment paper.
- Set Chocolate: Let the dipped Butterfinger balls sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating is completely set and firm to the touch. Once set, they are ready to serve and enjoy.
Notes
- You can substitute the chocolate almond bark with any preferred chocolate candy coating or melting chocolate.
- Store the Butterfinger balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For easier rolling and dipping, lightly wet your hands or use a small cookie scoop when forming balls.
- Adding a pinch of salt can balance the sweetness if desired.
- These treats are perfect for holiday parties, potlucks, or gifting.
