Ingredients
  

  • 200 g Butterfinger chocolate bars, crushed
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 300 g milk or dark chocolate (for melting)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking sheet
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Fork or dipping tool

Method
 

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed Butterfinger bars, peanut butter, and softened butter. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  2. Add the sugar: Gradually stir in powdered sugar until a firm, non-sticky dough forms.
  3. Shape the balls: Roll the mixture into walnut-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill before coating: For best results, freeze the rolled balls for about 10 minutes to help them hold their shape.
  5. Melt the chocolate: Use a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth
  6. Coat in chocolate: Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, covering completely, and return to the parchment.
  7. Set and serve: Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • The key to perfect texture is chilling before dipping in chocolate.
  • You can decorate with sprinkles before the chocolate sets for a festive look.
