1️⃣ Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well combined, using either an electric mixer or mixing by hand.

2️⃣ Add Crushed Butterfingers:

• Fold in the finely crushed Butterfinger candy bars until evenly distributed throughout the peanut butter mixture.

3️⃣ Shape the Balls:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
• Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the peanut butter mixture and roll them into balls with your hands. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet.

4️⃣ Melt the Chocolate (Optional):

• If you’d like to coat the peanut butter balls in chocolate, melt the semisweet or milk chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Alternatively, microwave the chocolate in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each.

5️⃣ Dip the Balls (Optional):

• Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated balls back on the lined baking sheet.

6️⃣ Chill and Set:

• Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.

7️⃣ Serve or Store:

• Once set, transfer the Butterfinger Peanut Butter Balls to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
