Butterfinger Peanut Butter Bombs deliver pure indulgence with crushed candy bars and creamy peanut butter centers. Rich chocolate coating and crunchy candy pieces create an irresistible treat you cannot resist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (226 g) powdered sugar
- 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blending Base: In a large mixing bowl, cream together peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully integrated, creating a luxurious foundational mixture.
- Dough Preparation: Gradually fold powdered sugar into the creamy base, working the ingredients until a malleable dough forms that holds its shape and has a consistent texture.
- Butterfinger Incorporation: Gently fold crushed Butterfinger pieces throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution of the candied chocolate-peanut butter fragments for maximum flavor complexity.
- Shaping Technique: Craft uniform spherical bombs by rolling small portions of dough between palms, creating perfectly rounded morsels with smooth exterior surfaces.
- Chilling Process: Arrange the shaped bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to solidify and enhance structural integrity.
- Final Enhancement: Optional gourmet finishing involves drizzling melted chocolate over the chilled bombs or rolling them in additional crushed Butterfinger fragments to elevate visual appeal and textural intrigue.
Notes
- Chill Thoroughly: Refrigerate the bombs for at least 30 minutes to ensure a perfect, firm texture that holds its shape and enhances flavor melding.
- Crush Carefully: Break Butterfinger bars into fine, consistent pieces to distribute evenly throughout the mixture, preventing large chunks that might disrupt the smooth texture.
- Room Temperature Matters: Use softened butter and room temperature ingredients to create a smooth, easily blendable dough that combines seamlessly without lumps.
- Versatile Coating Options: Experiment with chocolate drizzles, additional Butterfinger crumbs, or alternative coatings like crushed nuts or cocoa powder to customize the bombs’ exterior and flavor profile.
