Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons softened butter: This ingredient helps to bind the mixture together while adding a creamy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Provides a warm sweet aroma that enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
  • 8 ounces chocolate bark or chips: This chocolate coating gives the bliss balls that delightful outer layer and adds richness to each bite.
  • ½ cup crushed Butterfinger bars: These bars contribute a uniquely crunchy texture and a sweet caramel-like flavor, making them the star of the dish.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar: Acts as a sweetener balancing out the flavors while adding a smooth consistency.
  • 1 cup peanut butter: The creamy base of our bliss ball providing both flavor and richness; avoid all-natural varieties as they can affect the texture.
  • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs: Adds both flavor and a bit of crunch reminiscent of a classic s'mores dessert.
  • Optional garnishes: Additional crushed Butterfinger festive sprinkles, or coarse sea salt can enhance presentation and flavor.

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of peanut butter and 4 tablespoons of softened butter. Use an electric mixer or a wooden spoon to mix until creamy and well-blended.
  2. Add Vanilla: Include 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture, blending thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavor.
  3. Sweeten Up: Gradually incorporate 1 cup of powdered sugar into the peanut butter mixture at low speed. Scrape the sides of the bowl to mix evenly until fully incorporated.
  4. Add Crunch: Gently fold in ¾ cup of graham cracker crumbs and ½ cup of crushed Butterfinger bars. Stir until the mixture is consistency is thick and lumps of candy bar are evenly visible.
  5. Shape Your Balls: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, take about 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the dough and roll it into balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined cookie sheet for easy cleanup.
  6. Chill Time: Freeze the cookie sheet with the butterfinger balls for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch.
  7. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 8 ounces of chocolate bark or chips in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring gently after each interval until smooth.
  8. Coat and Decorate: Dip each chilled bliss ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back on the parchment. You may leave some peanut butter visible if desired.
  9. Finishing Touches: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with additional crushed Butterfinger, festive sprinkles, or coarse sea salt for that extra flair.
  10. Enjoy: Let the chocolate set for 10-15 minutes before serving. These delicious balls are ready to be enjoyed by all!
