Ingredients

Scale

Base Mixture

  • 4 tablespoons softened butter (½ stick)
  • 1 cup peanut butter (avoid all-natural varieties)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup crumbs from graham crackers
  • ½ cup Butterfinger bars (crushed)

Coating and Garnish

  • 8 ounces chocolate bark or chocolate chips
  • Optional garnishes: additional crushed Butterfinger bars, festive sprinkles, or coarse sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and softened butter. Use an electric or stand mixer set to medium speed and blend until the mixture is creamy and uniform.
  2. Add Aromatic Notes: Incorporate the vanilla extract and blend thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavor.
  3. Sweeten the Deal: Gradually add the powdered sugar in increments, blending at a low speed. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are mixed well.
  4. Crunch Time: Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs and crushed Butterfinger bars to add texture and sweetness.
  5. Shape ’em Up: Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out approximately 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the dough, roll into neat balls, and place them on the prepared sheet.
  6. Chilling Phase: Freeze the dough balls on the sheet for roughly 30 minutes until they are completely firm and ready for dipping.
  7. Melting the Chocolate: Place the chocolate bark or chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each, until mostly melted. Avoid overheating; small lumps can be stirred until smooth.
  8. Coat and Decorate: Submerge each chilled ball into the melted chocolate. Fully coat or leave a bit of the peanut butter mixture exposed for contrast.
  9. Finishing Touches: Sprinkle additional crushed Butterfinger bars, festive sprinkles, or a dash of flaky sea salt over the coated balls while the chocolate is still wet.
  10. The Grand Finale: Allow the chocolate to solidify completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving your butterfinger bliss balls.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter, but avoid all-natural varieties as they may be too oily for the right consistency.
  • Ensure the dough balls are fully chilled before dipping to prevent melting the chocolate coating.
  • Store Butterfinger Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For easier rolling, wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking to the dough.
  • Customize with different sprinkles or nuts as desired for festive variations.
