A must-have for anyone who loves Butterfingers!
Ingredients
5 (1.9 ounces) Butterfinger bars, crushed
1 (16 ounces) box of powdered sugar
2½ c. graham cracker crumbs
1 (24-ounce) package of chocolate almond bark or chocolate candy coating
1¼ c. butter, melted
1½ c. crunchy peanut butter
Instructions
Combine powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, Butterfinger pieces, melted butter, and peanut butter in a large mixing dish.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes after shaping into 1-inch balls.
Melt chocolate almond bark as directed on the package.
Remove the balls from the refrigerator and coat them in the chocolate almond bark.
Lay the dipped balls on a sheet of parchment or wax paper and let them set.
Notes
These peanut butter balls have a satisfying crunch from the peanut butter. If you want a smoother texture and don’t care for peanut “chunks,” go for the creamy variety.
These Butterfinger Balls taste great either warm or at room temperature and can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to a week. Use sprinkles in the colors of your favorite team, the holidays, Valentine’s Day, and birthdays to adorn the balls.
Depending on how large you roll the balls, this recipe can yield anywhere from 3 to 4 dozen.
How To Make it Gluten free
Use gluten-free Graham cracker crumbs. You can also use chocolate wafers as a gluten-free alternative if you are looking for a dark or chocolatey result or vanilla wafers for something more subtle.
