Ingredients
  

For the mixture
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Can substitute with almond or cashew butter for a twist.
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter Coconut oil can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract Almond extract can be used for a unique flavor.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Coconut sugar is a healthier alternative.
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Crushed oats or cookies can be used for variety.
  • 1 cup Crushed Butterfinger Candy Bars Feel free to experiment with your favorite candy bars.
For the coating
  • 1 cup Chocolate Bark or Chocolate Chips Choose dark chocolate for a richer flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract until fully blended and creamy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar while mixing, followed by the graham cracker crumbs.
  3. Fold in the crushed Butterfinger candy until fully incorporated.
Forming
  1. Scoop level portions of the mixture and roll into balls, each about 1 inch in diameter.
  2. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for approximately 30 minutes until firm.
Coating
  1. Place the chocolate bark or chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth, or melt using a double boiler.
  2. Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate to fully coat, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place coated balls onto the prepared tray.
  3. Optionally, drizzle with additional chocolate or sprinkle with extra crushed Butterfinger.
Chilling
  1. Return to the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate is set. Serve chilled for the best texture.
