Butterfinger Balls Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Mix the Base:
In a large bowl, mix together the crushed Butterfinger bars, creamy peanut butter, softened butter, and powdered sugar. Stir until a smooth, thick dough forms. (It should be easy to shape, but not sticky!)
2️⃣ Roll Into Balls:
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3️⃣ Chill Time:
Pop the tray into the fridge and chill for at least 30 minutes. This helps the balls stay firm when dipping into chocolate.
4️⃣ Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and glossy.
5️⃣ Dip & Coat:
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off, then place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
6️⃣ Let Them Set:
Allow the chocolate to set completely—either at room temp or pop them back in the fridge to speed it up.
7️⃣ Serve & Savor:
Once set, they’re ready to devour! Serve chilled or at room temperature.
