Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons softened butter (½ stick)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peanut butter (avoid all-natural varieties)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup crushed Butterfinger bars

Coating & Garnishes

  • 8 ounces chocolate bark or chocolate chips
  • Optional garnishes: additional crushed Butterfinger bars, festive sprinkles, or coarse sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: 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.
  2. Add Aromatic Notes: Incorporate the vanilla extract and blend thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavor.
  3. Sweeten the Deal: Gradually add the powdered sugar in increments while blending at a low speed. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are mixed evenly.
  4. Crunch Time: Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs and crushed Butterfinger bars to create a crunchy, textured dough.
  5. Shape ’em Up: Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out approximately 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the dough, roll into neat balls, and place them evenly spaced on the sheet.
  6. Chilling Phase: Freeze the dough balls on the cookie sheet for roughly 30 minutes until they are completely firm and ready for coating.
  7. Melting the Chocolate: Transfer the chopped chocolate or chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each session, until mostly melted but still smooth, avoiding overheating.
  8. Coat and Decorate: Submerge each chilled ball into the melted chocolate to coat completely or partially, then place back onto the parchment-lined sheet. Sprinkle with additional crushed Butterfinger bars, festive sprinkles, or a dash of flaky sea salt if desired.
  9. The Grand Finale: Allow the chocolate coating to solidify completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving to enjoy the perfect Butterfinger Bliss Balls.

Notes

  • Use regular peanut butter rather than all-natural varieties for best texture and binding.
  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
  • Frozen balls can be stored in an airtight container and kept refrigerated for up to one week.
  • Optional garnishes add visual appeal and extra flavor contrast.
