Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (avoid all-natural varieties)
- 4 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup Butterfinger bars, crushed
- 8 oz chocolate bark or chocolate chips (for dipping)
- Optional garnishes: extra crushed Butterfinger bars, festive sprinkles, or sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Beat peanut butter and softened butter until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract. Slowly add powdered sugar, stirring until well combined. Fold in graham cracker crumbs and crushed Butterfinger bars.
- Shape and Chill: Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1 to 1½ tablespoons each) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt chocolate bark or chocolate chips in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- Coat and Garnish: Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating. Sprinkle with additional crushed Butterfinger bars or sea salt if desired.
- Let Set and Enjoy: Allow the chocolate to harden before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Use white chocolate for a different variation.
- For a crunchier texture, add chopped peanuts or pretzels.
- To make ahead, freeze the peanut butter mixture before dipping in chocolate.
