Expert Tips 

• Making Peanut Butterfinger Balls – We recommend using a cookie scoop to make sure the balls even.
• Making Peanut Butter Mixture – To help the balls stick together, make sure to chill them before dipping into chocolate.
• Crushing Butterfinger Candy Bars – Crush the candy bars into butterfinger bits with a food processor. You can also place the candy bars in a zip lock bag and crush with a rolling pin or a meat mallet.
• Melt Chocolate Chips – Carefully melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Melt in 30 second intervals to ensure that you do not burn the chocolate.
• Dipping Balls – Insert a fork or a toothpick into the balls to easily dip into the melted chocolate.
• Lined Baking Sheet – Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the butterfinger buckeyes from sticking and also helps for an easy cleanup.
