Ingredients
- Butter (softened) – 4 tablespoons (½ stick)
- Peanut butter (not natural) – 1 cup
- Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
- Powdered sugar – 1 cup
- Crushed Butterfinger bars – ½ cup
- Graham cracker crumbs – ¾ cup
- Chocolate bark or chips – 8 ounces

Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Measure and prepare all ingredients before starting to ensure a smooth process.
- Mix the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, crushed Butterfinger bars, and graham cracker crumbs. Stir until fully combined and the mixture holds its shape.
- Roll the Balls:
- Scoop out portions of the mixture using a tablespoon or cookie scoop. Roll each portion into a ball, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the rolled balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the Balls:
- Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate bark or chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Alternatively, use a double boiler for a silky consistency.
- Coat the Balls:
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Garnishes (Optional):
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle additional crushed Butterfinger bars, sprinkles, or coarse sea salt over the tops.
- Let Them Set:
- Allow the chocolate coating to harden completely. This can be done at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once set, serve the Butterfinger Balls on a platter or store them in an airtight container.
