Butterfinger Bliss Balls Treat (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 4 tablespoons softened butter (½ stick)
02 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
03 - 8 ounces chocolate bark or chocolate chips
04 - ½ cup Butterfinger bars, crushed
05 - 1 cup powdered sugar
06 - 1 cup peanut butter (avoid all-natural varieties)
07 - ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs

→ Optional Garnishes

08 - Additional crushed Butterfinger bars
09 - Festive sprinkles
10 - Coarse sea salt

# Instructions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and softened butter. Use an electric or stand mixer set to medium speed and blend until the mixture is creamy and uniform.
02 - Incorporate the vanilla extract and blend thoroughly.
03 - Gradually add the powdered sugar in increments, blending at a low speed. Ensure to scrape down the sides of the bowl for even mixing.
04 - Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs and crushed Butterfinger bars.
05 - Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out approximately 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the dough, roll into neat balls, and place on the cookie sheet.
06 - Freeze the dough balls on the sheet for roughly 30 minutes until they are completely firm.
07 - Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals at 50% power and stirring between each interval. Ensure some lumps remain and stir until smooth to prevent overheating.
08 - Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate. You may fully coat them or leave part of the peanut butter mixture exposed.
09 - Before the chocolate sets, add garnishes like crushed Butterfinger bars, festive sprinkles, or coarse sea salt for added flair.
10 - Allow the chocolate to solidify completely before serving the Butterfinger Bliss Balls.

# Notes:

01 - Store the Butterfinger Bliss Balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
02 - Use conventional peanut butter brands, as all-natural varieties are too oily.
03 - For smoother texture, use chocolate bark or combine it with chocolate chips. Alternatively, tempered chocolate chips can be used.
04 - A double boiler can substitute for a microwave when melting chocolate at low heat.
