2 sleeves graham crackers, crushed (about 2 cups crumbs)
2 1/2 sticks butter, softened (1 cup or 225g)
16 oz (2 cups) powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups crunchy peanut butter
5 regular size Butterfinger bars, crushed (about 1 cup)
12 oz dark chocolate chips
Sprinkles for decorating (optional)
Instructions:
Crush up the graham crackers until you have about 2 cups of fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or put them in a Ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the peanut butter and mix until fully incorporated.
Add the crushed Butterfingers and graham cracker crumbs. Mix until a dough forms.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. This allows it to firm up for easier shaping.
Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to form the dough into balls. Place on a baking sheet or plate. Make them any size you prefer.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stirring between each one, until fully smooth.
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, coating fully. Tap off any excess.
Place back on the baking sheet. Decorate with sprinkles now if desired.
Allow chocolate to set completely before serving, about 10 minutes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week. Enjoy!
Tips:
Let the dough chill for at least 30 minutes before rolling into balls so it firms up. This makes shaping much easier.
When melting the chocolate, do it slowly and stir often for best results. Don’t let it get too hot.
Work quickly when coating the balls so the chocolate doesn’t harden before you finish.
Drizzle or pipe extra chocolate over the finished balls for a pretty presentation.
Store the chocolate balls layered between pieces of parchment or wax paper so they don’t stick together.
Play around with different coatings like crushed candy canes, sprinkles, coconut, nuts or drizzled caramel.
