Butterfinger Balls
2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar
4 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, stirring until the mixture becomes thick and dough-like.
Fold in the crushed Butterfinger candy bars, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Shape the mixture into small, bite-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
Using a fork, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, then place the coated ball back on the parchment paper.
Let the chocolate-covered peanut butter balls set at room temperature until the chocolate hardens.
Store the Butterfinger Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
