Let’s get started!

Ingredients (in Grams)

250g creamy peanut butter
200g powdered sugar
150g crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 4 regular-sized bars)
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!
