Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons softened butter (½ stick)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces chocolate bark or chocolate chips
- ½ cup Butterfinger bars, crushed
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter (avoid all-natural varieties)
- ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
- Optional garnishes: additional crushed Butterfinger bars, festive sprinkles, or coarse sea salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and softened butter. Beat with an electric or stand mixer until smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add powdered sugar in increments, mixing on low speed until smooth.
- Fold in graham cracker crumbs and crushed Butterfinger bars until well blended.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 1 to 1½ tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, and place on the sheet.
- Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes until firm.
- Melt chocolate bark or chips in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each.
- Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back on the parchment paper.
- While chocolate is still wet, optionally sprinkle with crushed Butterfinger, sprinkles, or sea salt.
- Let set at room temperature or refrigerate until chocolate is firm. Serve and enjoy.
