Butterfinger Balls

Ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup powdered sugar

1 1/2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars

2 cups chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)

1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)

Instructions:

1. Mix the base: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

2. Add sugar & candy: Stir in the powdered sugar and crushed Butterfinger pieces until well combined. The mixture should be thick enough to roll into balls.

3. Shape the balls: Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls (about 1-inch in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 20–30 minutes to firm up.

4. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.

5. Dip & coat: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.

6. Set & enjoy: Let the chocolate harden at room temperature or place the tray in the fridge for faster setting. Once firm, enjoy your delicious Butterfinger Balls!
