For the Mixture
  • 1 cup Softened Butter Substitution: Use unsalted butter for more control over salt.

  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar Substitution: Granulated sugar may be used, but will alter the texture.
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Substitution: Digestive biscuits or Vanilla Wafer crumbs can be used.
  • 1 cup Crushed Butterfinger Bars Substitution: Other candy bars like Reese's or Snickers can be used.
For the Coating

  • Festive Sprinkles
  • Coarse Sea Salt

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and peanut butter using an electric mixer until creamy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Stir in vanilla extract into the mixture and scrape down the sides to ensure it is well incorporated.
  3. Gradually sift in powdered sugar while mixing on low speed until fully combined and resembling cookie dough.
  4. Gently fold in graham cracker crumbs and crushed Butterfinger bars until evenly distributed.
  5. Using a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1 to 1½ inch balls and place them on a lined cookie sheet.
  6. Cover the cookie sheet and freeze the balls for about 30 minutes until solid.
  7. Melt chocolate bark or chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring in between until smooth.
  8. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then place back on the lined cookie sheet.
  9. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle extra crushed Butterfinger or a pinch of coarse sea salt on top.
  10. Let the coated balls sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes.

Notes

Use a good quality peanut butter for a smoother texture and avoid overly oily natural varieties. Sift the powdered sugar to ensure a lump-free mixture. Proper chilling is essential for firming up the balls.
