Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and softened butter.
   • Use an electric or stand mixer set to medium speed and blend until the mixture is creamy and uniform.
2. Add Aromatic Notes:
   • Incorporate the vanilla extract and blend thoroughly.
3. Sweeten the Deal:
   • Gradually add the powdered sugar in increments, blending at a low speed.
   • Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
4. Crunch Time:
   • Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs and crushed Butterfinger bars.
5. Shape ’em Up:
   • Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
   • Scoop out approximately 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the dough, roll into neat balls, and place on the cookie sheet.
6. Chilling Phase:
   • Freeze the dough balls on the sheet for roughly 30 minutes until they are completely firm.
7. Melting the Chocolate:
   • Once the dough balls are chilled, melt the chocolate.
   • Use a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second spurts at 50% power, stirring in between each interval.
   • Be cautious not to overheat; some lumps should remain and will melt as you stir.
8. Coat and Decorate:
   • Submerge each chilled ball into the melted chocolate.
   • You can fully coat them or leave a bit of the peanut butter mixture exposed.
   • Add a sprinkle of additional crushed Butterfinger bars, holiday-themed sprinkles, or a dash of flaky sea salt for that extra pop.
9. The Grand Finale:
   • Allow the chocolate to solidify completely before indulging in your Butterfinger Balls.
