Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Optional Substitutions:
- Replace graham crackers with crushed digestive biscuits for a different texture.
- Use almond or sunflower butter for a nut-free alternative.
- Swap semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate according to your preference.
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Base
In a large bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger candy bars, crushed graham crackers, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well blended.
Step 2: Shape the Balls
Scoop small portions of the mixture using a teaspoon or small scoop. Roll into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 3: Freeze the Balls
Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes. This helps them firm up and makes coating easier.
Step 4: Melt the Chocolate
Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Step 5: Coat the Balls
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or skewer, ensuring an even coating. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6: Set the Coating
Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 minutes until firm.
Notes
- Chill the peanut butter mixture slightly if it feels too sticky to work with.
- Use parchment or wax paper to avoid the balls sticking to the tray.
- For an extra crunch, add finely chopped peanuts to the mixture.
