Ingredients

▢ 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter regular shelf-stable not natural for best texture
▢ 4 ½ tablespoons butter softened to room temperature for easy mixing
▢ 1 ⅛ teaspoons vanilla extract pure vanilla for warmer flavor
▢ 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons powdered sugar sifted to avoid lumps
▢ ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs finely crushed for smooth balls
▢ ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon crushed Butterfinger candy bars crushed into small crunchy bits
▢ 9 ounces chocolate bark or chocolate chips good-quality for smoother melting
▢ 2 tablespoons extra crushed Butterfinger or sprinkles or flaky salt for topping and decoration

Instructions

Beat the peanut butter and softened butter together in a medium bowl until smooth and fully blended.
Pour in the vanilla and mix again until it disappears into the mixture.
Add the powdered sugar a little at a time, mixing on low speed and scraping the bowl as needed until thick and smooth.
Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs and crushed candy until evenly distributed.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment and scoop out portions of the mixture, about 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons each.
Roll each portion between your hands to form smooth, round balls and place them back on the sheet.
Transfer the tray to the freezer and chill until the balls are firm all the way through.
Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in short intervals, stirring often, until mostly melted, then stir until completely smooth.
Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, coating fully or leaving a small spot of filling peeking through if you like.
While the coating is still wet, sprinkle the tops with extra crushed candy, sprinkles, or flaky salt.
Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or in the fridge before serving.

Notes

These are the kind of treats that vanish from the tray before you realize how many you’ve eaten. They taste like childhood candy runs and holiday cookie swaps all rolled into one glossy, chocolatey bite.
