### Instructions
1. **Crush the Butterfingers**
Start by crushing the **Butterfinger bars** into small pieces. You can place them in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin to crush them, or simply break them up with your hands. You want small chunks that will add texture to the balls, so aim for a mix of small pieces and powdery crumbs.
2. **Mix the Peanut Butter and Powdered Sugar**
In a large bowl, combine the **peanut butter** and **powdered sugar**. Stir until fully mixed, forming a thick, dough-like consistency. If the mixture seems too sticky or dry, you can add a little more powdered sugar or peanut butter to achieve the right texture.
3. **Add the Crushed Butterfinger**
Stir the crushed **Butterfinger** pieces into the peanut butter mixture until they’re evenly distributed. The combination of creamy peanut butter and crunchy candy is what makes these treats so special!
4. **Shape the Balls**
Take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used. You should get around 20-25 balls, depending on the size you make them.
5. **Chill the Balls**
Place the rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill them in the fridge for at least **30 minutes** to firm up. This helps the balls keep their shape and makes them easier to coat in chocolate.
6. **Coat the Balls in Chocolate**
While the balls are chilling, melt the **chocolate chips** in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted. If you want a smoother coating, you can stir in the **butter** as it melts.
7. **Dip and Coat**
Once the balls have chilled, dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. You can use a fork or toothpick to help dip and remove the balls from the chocolate. Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
8. **Let Them Set**
Once all the balls are coated, return them to the fridge for another **15-20 minutes** or until the chocolate has set. If you want to add some extra decoration or toppings, you can sprinkle some crushed Butterfinger pieces on top of the chocolate while it’s still soft.

### Variations & Tips
– **Use Milk or White Chocolate**: While semi-sweet chocolate is the traditional coating for Butterfinger Balls, feel free to get creative with **milk chocolate** or **white chocolate** for a different flavor.
– **Add a Drizzle**: For a beautiful touch, drizzle some extra melted chocolate over the set balls for a decorative finish.
– **Add a Pinch of Sea Salt**: If you like a salty-sweet contrast, sprinkle a small amount of **sea salt** on top of the chocolate coating before it sets.
– **Use Crunchy Peanut Butter**: If you prefer more texture, swap the creamy peanut butter for **crunchy peanut butter** for extra crunch in every bite.
