Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter (do not use natural)
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 0.75 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 3-4 standard bars)
  • 12 oz milk chocolate melting wafers or high-quality chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (only if using chocolate chips)
  • 0.25 cup extra Butterfinger crumbs for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  • Gradually mix in the sifted powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs until the mixture is well combined and forms a soft dough.
  • Gently fold in the 1 cup of crushed Butterfinger candy pieces until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 30 to 45 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll between your palms to form 1-inch round balls.
  • Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 20 to 30 minutes to ensure they stay firm during the dipping process.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate wafers (and coconut oil if using chips) in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.
  • Using a fork or dipping tool, submerge each chilled peanut butter ball into the chocolate, tap off the excess, and return to the parchment paper.
  • Immediately sprinkle the tops with the reserved Butterfinger crumbs while the chocolate is still wet.
  • Allow the bombs to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until the chocolate shell is firm.
