- 200g semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (for smooth chocolate coating)
- A pinch of salt
(Optional for Topping: Extra crushed Butterfinger for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Crush the Butterfingers
- Place Butterfinger candy bars in a ziplock bag and crush them using a rolling pin until they turn into small crumbs.
- Alternatively, pulse them in a food processor for a finer texture.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
- In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, crushed Butterfingers, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir until everything is well combined and forms a thick dough.
Step 3: Shape the Balls
- Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 2.5 cm or 1 inch in diameter).
- Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 4: Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
(Alternative: Melt chocolate using a double boiler over low heat.)
Step 5: Dip the Butterfinger Balls
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly.
- Let excess chocolate drip off and place back on the parchment paper.
- Sprinkle extra crushed Butterfinger on top for decoration (optional).
Step 6: Chill & Serve
- Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until the chocolate is set.
- Serve and enjoy these crispy, chocolatey, peanut buttery bites!
