Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Secondary Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Flavoring Ingredient:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Create a creamy base by thoroughly blending peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a spacious mixing vessel until the texture becomes silky and homogeneous.
- Incorporate crushed Butterfinger candy bars into the mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout the smooth foundation.
- Carefully craft the confection into compact, uniform spheres approximately one inch in diameter, positioning them strategically on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Refrigerate the nascent treats for a minimum of 60 minutes, allowing them to firm and solidify completely.
- Transform chocolate chips into a luxurious molten state using precise microwave technique: heat in brief, controlled intervals, stirring meticulously between each session to achieve a glossy, seamless consistency.
- Execute a precise dipping technique, completely enrobing each chilled peanut butter sphere in the liquefied chocolate using a specialized utensil, permitting excess coating to gracefully cascade away.
- Return chocolate-drenched confections to the lined baking surface, optionally embellishing with a delicate sprinkle of additional pulverized Butterfinger fragments while the chocolate maintains its liquid state.
- Return the decorated delicacies to the refrigeration environment, enabling the chocolate shell to crystallize and set for approximately half an hour.
- Present these decadent morsels as an indulgent, crowd-pleasing delicacy ready for immediate consumption and enjoyment.
Notes
- Chill the mixture thoroughly before shaping to prevent sticky hands and ensure clean, round ball formation.
- Crush Butterfinger candy bars finely for even distribution and smoother texture throughout the mixture.
- Use room temperature ingredients to create a more seamless blending process and prevent lumpy consistency.
- For gluten-free option, verify chocolate chips and Butterfinger bars are gluten-free certified before preparing the recipe.
