- - 2 sleeves graham crackers crushed (about 2 cups crumbs)
- - 2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter softened (1 cup or 225g)
- - 16 oz powdered sugar about 2 cups
- - 1 1/2 cups crunchy peanut butter
- - 5 regular-sized Butterfinger bars crushed (about 1 cup)
- - 12 oz dark chocolate chips
- - Sprinkles for decoration optional
Prepare Graham Cracker Crumbs: Crush the graham crackers until you have about 2 cups of fine crumbs. Use a food processor or place them in a Ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the crunchy peanut butter and mix until fully incorporated. Stir in the crushed Butterfinger bars and graham cracker crumbs, mixing until the dough comes together.
Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes to firm it up.
Shape the Balls: Use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon to portion the dough. Roll each portion into a ball with your hands and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth.
Dip the Balls in Chocolate: Use a fork or dipping tool to dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Tap off the excess chocolate and place the dipped ball back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Decorate with sprinkles if desired.
Set the Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature (about 10-15 minutes) or place the tray in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Serve: Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
- Variations: Try white chocolate for a sweeter version or almond butter for a different flavor profile.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Decorating Tip: Drizzle additional melted chocolate on top for a decorative finish.
