Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate and Coating:
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate melting wafers
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
Butterfinger Base:
- 1 cup crispy peanut butter
- 1 cup crushed butterfinger candy bars
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
Binding and Rolling:
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese with crispy peanut butter until smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Incorporate crushed Butterfinger candy bars, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, vanilla extract, and salt into the cream cheese mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
- Refrigerate the mixture for 15-20 minutes to firm up, making it easier to handle and shape.
- Roll the chilled mixture into uniform bite-sized spheres, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the rolled balls for 30 minutes to ensure they maintain their shape during coating.
- Prepare a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl to melt chocolate chips and milk chocolate melting wafers, stirring in coconut oil until the mixture is silky and glossy.
- Remove balls from freezer and carefully dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Gently tap off excess chocolate and place coated balls back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Refrigerate the chocolate-covered Butterfinger balls for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate sets completely.
- Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week, allowing flavors to meld and texture to stabilize.
Notes
- Chill the mixture thoroughly to prevent sticky hands and ensure clean, round ball formation during shaping.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother blending and easier mixing with peanut butter and other ingredients.
- Crush Butterfinger bars finely to distribute flavor evenly and create a consistent texture throughout the balls.
- Opt for milk chocolate melting wafers for a glossy, professional-looking coating that sets quickly and smoothly.
