Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Butterfinger Mix:
    In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, crushed Butterfingers, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract.
    Stir until the mixture comes together and forms a soft dough.
  2. Shape into Balls:
    Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    Freeze for 15–20 minutes until firm.
  3. Melt the Chocolate:
    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and shortening (or coconut oil) in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
  4. Dip and Coat:
    Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely.
    Place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
  5. Set and Chill:
    Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
  6. Serve or Store:
    Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks (if they last that long!).

Optional Variations:

  • Add crunch: Mix in crushed cornflakes or pretzels for texture.
  • Use white chocolate: For a sweeter, creamy twist.
  • Drizzle: Add a contrasting chocolate drizzle on top for a fancy look.
