Butterfinger Balls - Sugar and Soul
Ingredients:
1⅓ cup Peanut Butter
½ cup salted butter softened
1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
2 cups Powdered Sugar
1½ cups plus more for topping (optional)
3 cups Chocolate Pro Chocolate Melting Wafers
Cream the peanut butter, salted butter, and vanilla extract together in a large
bowl.
Sift the powdered sugar into the bowl. Then beat the mixture until smooth.
Stir in the Butterfinger bits. Next, place the mixture into the refrigerator to chill.
Scoop out the filling mixture and roll it into balls. Afterward, place them on a
parchment paper-lined baking sheet and transfer them to the freezer to chill.
Melt the chocolate melting wafers before removing the balls from the freezer.
Dip each Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate and then place them back on
the parchment paper.
Sprinkle the tops with Butterfinger Bits and then allow the chocolate to harden.
Happy PB DAY, and see you at the library on December 14!
