Homemade Butterfinger Balls
Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)
1 cup candy corn
2 cups chocolate chips (either semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
Instructions:
Begin by melting the candy corn in a large mixing bowl using a microwave, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until the mixture is smooth.
Incorporate the peanut butter into the melted candy corn, mixing thoroughly until well blended.
Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal, ensuring it is evenly coated with the mixture.
Form the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter, and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the baking sheet to chill the balls while preparing the chocolate coating.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until the chocolate is completely smooth.
Using a fork or toothpicks, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Return the chocolate-covered balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Let the chocolate set at room temperature, or expedite the process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator.
Once the chocolate has hardened, your Homemade Butterfinger Balls are ready to be enjoyed! Store any remaining treats in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
These delightful homemade confections are sure to please friends and family, making them an excellent choice for satisfying your sweet cravings! Enjoy!
