INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture:
   • In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, Butterfinger bits, melted butter, and creamy peanut butter.
   • Use an electric mixer to thoroughly combine all the ingredients until you have a smooth mixture.
2. Shape into Balls:

   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place each ball on the baking sheet.
3. Chill the Balls:
   • Transfer the baking sheet with the peanut butter balls to the refrigerator and let them chill for about 30 minutes. This will help them set and firm up.

5. Dip and Garnish:
   • Remove the chilled peanut butter balls from the refrigerator.
   • Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
   • Place the freshly dipped balls back onto the lined baking sheet.
   • Sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger candy bar pieces over the top of each ball while the chocolate is still wet.
6. Pipe Additional Chocolate:
   • Add the remaining melted chocolate to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
   • Pipe a drizzle of melted chocolate on the top of each Butterfinger ball, covering the Butterfinger bits.
7. Set and Store:
