Equipment

  • Microwave
  • cookie sheet
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter not all natural types
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened (½ stick)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup crushed butterfinger bars
  • 8 ounces chocolate bark or chocolate chips
  • additional crushed butterfingers for garnish
  • holiday sprinkles for garnish
  • coarse salt for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium bowl, add the peanut butter and softened butter and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until mixed together well.
  • Add the vanilla extract and blend until combined.
  • Slowly add the powdered sugar in batches blending on low speed. Be sure to scrape down the sides occasionally.
  • Then gently stir in the graham cracker crumbs and crushed butterfingers.
  • Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and scoop out 1-1 ½ tablespoons of dough.
  • Roll into smooth balls and place them on the baking sheet.
  • Place the sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to chill completely.

Melting the Chocolate

  • After they have chilled, melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl at 30 second intervals on 50% power level, stirring in between.
  • Dip the balls into the melted chocolate. You can cover them all the way or leave a little of the peanut butter mixture showing.
  • Sprinkle over additional crushed butterfingers, holiday sprinkles or flakey sea salt.
  • Allow the chocolate to set completely and enjoy.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Use regular peanut butter like Jif or Skippy and not an all-natural peanut butter as it tends to be more oily. Using chocolate bark makes a more smooth finish and doesn’t have to be tempered. You could also use ½ chocolate bark and ½ chocolate chips, or all tempered chocolate chips. Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate over low or medium-low heat if desired.
