Craving a sweet treat that’s quick to make and utterly irresistible? These Butterfinger Treats are a delightful mix of creamy peanut butter, crunchy graham crackers, and rich chocolate, all topped with a sprinkle of your favorite Butterfinger candy. Perfect for sharing—or keeping all to yourself!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups of milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup of crushed Butterfinger candy bars (or Butterfinger baking bits)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Base:
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and form a thick, dough-like consistency.
2. Form the Balls:
• Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate the balls for about 30 minutes to firm up.
3. Melt the Chocolate:
• While the balls are chilling, melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
4. Dip the Balls:
• Once the balls are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, making sure they are fully coated. Place them back on the parchment paper.
5. Add the Butterfinger Crumble:
• Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger candy bars or baking bits over the top of each ball. Press down slightly to ensure the crumbs stick to the chocolate.
6. Let Them Set:
• Place the tray in the refrigerator for about an hour, or until the chocolate is fully set.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
• Once the treats are set, they’re ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
