Equipment
- Medium mixing bowl
- Electric mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment
- Rubber spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Cookie scoop or tablespoon
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Microwave-safe bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter not all natural types
- 8 oz chocolate bark or chocolate chips
- ½ cups crushed butterfinger bars
- coarse salt or crushed butterfingers holiday sprinkles Garnishing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 tbsp butter softened
- ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter and softened butter, then beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add in the vanilla extract and mix again until incorporated.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar in small batches, mixing on low speed and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs and crushed Butterfingers until fully combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out 1 to 1½ tablespoons of dough.
- Roll each portion into a smooth ball and place it on the prepared sheet.
- Once all the balls are formed, transfer the sheet to the freezer and chill for about 30 minutes.
- After chilling, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each interval.
- Stop microwaving when only a few chunks remain and stir until the chocolate is fully melted.
- Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, either fully or partially coating them, and place them back on the sheet.
- Sprinkle with extra crushed Butterfingers, festive sprinkles, or a touch of sea salt.
- Let the chocolate set completely before serving.
Notes
- For extra crunch, use chunky peanut butter instead of smooth.
- If the dough feels too sticky to roll, add an extra tablespoon of graham cracker crumbs.
- Use a fork or toothpick to help dip and coat the balls in chocolate more easily.
