Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating Ingredients:
- 2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly blend peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, uniform texture.
- Incrementally incorporate powdered sugar into the mixture, gently stirring until the composition transforms into a pliable, cohesive dough.
- Carefully integrate crushed Butterfinger fragments throughout the mixture, ensuring even distribution of the candied nuggets.
- Using clean hands or a small scoop, portion the dough into uniform spherical shapes, rolling between palms to create smooth, consistent orbs.
- Place the formed clusters on a parchment-lined tray, maintaining slight separation between each delectable morsel.
- Transfer the prepared tray to the refrigerator, allowing the bombs to firm and solidify for approximately 30 minutes.
- Optional: For enhanced indulgence, consider drizzling melted chocolate over the chilled spheres or rolling them in additional crushed Butterfinger pieces to amplify texture and flavor complexity.
Notes
- Chill the mixture for 15-20 minutes before shaping to make handling easier and prevent sticking to your hands.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to create uniform-sized balls for consistent texture and professional presentation.
- For gluten-free variation, ensure you use gluten-free Butterfinger candy or substitute with crushed gluten-free chocolate peanut butter candies.
- Store bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, allowing flavors to meld and maintain optimal texture.
