Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 bars Butterfinger candy bars
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 12 oz White chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil
- 1 cup Candy melts (for iris, any color)
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips (for pupils)
- 1 tube Red gel icing
Instructions
1. Begin by crushing the Butterfinger candy bars into small pieces. You can do this by placing the bars in a resealable plastic bag and using a rolling pin to break them into crumbs.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger pieces, creamy peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until the ingredients are fully blended and form a thick, dough-like consistency.
3. Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
4. Once all the balls are formed, place the baking sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes to allow the balls to firm up.
5. While the Butterfinger balls are chilling, melt the white chocolate chips together with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth.
6. Remove the balls from the freezer. Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each ball into the melted white chocolate to coat it completely. Allow any excess white chocolate to drip off before placing the coated ball back on the lined baking sheet.
7. While the white chocolate coating is still wet, press a candy melt onto the top of each ball to create the iris. Then, add a mini chocolate chip in the center of the candy melt for the pupil.
8. Once all the balls are decorated with irises and pupils, refrigerate them for 10 minutes to set the chocolate coating.
9. After the chocolate has hardened, use the red gel icing to draw thin squiggly lines radiating outward from the iris to create the look of bloodshot veins.
10. Refrigerate again for another 10 minutes to set the gel icing, then serve and enjoy your spooky Butterfinger Eyeballs!
