Why do I love this recipe?

All you are doing is taking one of your favorite candy bars, crushing them and turning them into an all-new treat. These are so addicting you will be amazed.

What is the best chocolate for dipping?

There are multiple options. I believe the one that we liked best was milk chocolate. You could use Almond bark, or even Chocolate chips.

This recipe takes about 45 minutes to make them. You will get about 2 dozen butterfinger balls from the recipe.

Why is the chocolate not sticking to the balls?

You do need to chill the balls after rolling them. The balls need to be cold in order for the chocolate to stick.

Can I use all-natural peanut butter in this recipe?

Using all-natural peanut butter is going to make a slight change in these. They may not end up as crispy as you would like.
