Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated, either using an electric mixer or by hand. -
Incorporate the Butterfinger Bars:
Gently fold in the finely crushed Butterfinger candy bars, ensuring an even distribution throughout the peanut butter mixture. -
Form the Balls:
Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the peanut butter mixture and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. -
Dip in Chocolate (Optional):
Melt the semisweet or milk chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, or use the microwave in short intervals, stirring between each. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool to coat evenly. Tap off excess chocolate and place them back on the baking sheet. -
Chill and Set:
Refrigerate the Butterfinger Balls for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate sets and they firm up. -
Serve and Store:
Once set, transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
Notes
- Storage: Keep the Butterfinger Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.
- Customizing: Feel free to coat the balls in white chocolate, dark chocolate, or a combination for variety.
- Crunchier Texture: Add chopped peanuts or crispy rice cereal for extra crunch.
