Butterfinger Balls

**Instructions**:

1. **Crush the Butterfinger Bars**:
– Unwrap the Butterfinger bars and place them in a large plastic bag or bowl. Use a rolling pin or mallet to crush the candy into small, bite-sized pieces. You want small, crunchy bits, so take your time to break them down well.

2. **Make the Peanut Butter Mixture**:
– In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, and powdered sugar. Stir everything together until smooth and fully combined. The mixture should be thick enough to form into balls but still pliable.

3. **Add the Crushed Butterfingers**:
– Stir the crushed Butterfinger pieces into the peanut butter mixture until they are evenly distributed. You should have a thick, dough-like consistency at this point.

4. **Form the Balls**:
– Use your hands to roll the peanut butter mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet or tray lined with parchment paper. Once all the balls are rolled, chill them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour, allowing them to firm up.

5. **Melt the Chocolate**:
– While the peanut butter balls chill, melt the chocolate chips. You can do this by placing the chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler.

6. **Dip the Balls in Chocolate**:
– Once the peanut butter balls are firm, take them out of the fridge. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s completely covered. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off before placing the dipped ball back onto the parchment-lined tray.

7. **Optional Toppings**:
– If desired, sprinkle crushed peanuts, a pinch of sea salt, or additional crushed Butterfingers on top of the chocolate-covered balls for extra flavor and texture.

8. **Chill and Serve**:
– Once all the balls are coated in chocolate, return them to the fridge for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. Once set, serve and enjoy!
