Ingredients:

2 cups crispy rice cereal
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 bag (12 oz ). ) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions:

Prepare the baking tray: First line a baking tray with baking paper. This is where the chocolate-covered candies cool and harden.
Butterfinger and Peanut Butter Mix: In a large bowl, toss crushed Butterfinger bars with creamy peanut butter to create a mix of smooth and crunchy textures.

Add crispy rice cereal: Carefully add the crispy rice cereal. Make sure it is evenly coated without crushing the cereal so that it retains its crunchy texture.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla: Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract until mixture is well blended and holds together when pressed.Form into balls: Using a spoon or your hands, form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Melt the chocolate and coconut oil: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip balls in chocolate: Use a fork to dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allow the excess to drip off and place them back on the baking paper.
Allow to cool to set: Place the Butterfinger balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and the balls to solidify.

Variations and tips:

Drizzle white chocolate: For a special touch, drizzle white chocolate over the chocolate-covered balls to create a decorative contrast.Vegan Adaptation: Use dairy-free chocolate chips and plant-based peanut butter to accommodate vegan preferences.

Double Boiler Option: For a smoother chocolate coating, consider using a double boiler instead of a microwave.
Candy Alternative: For a special touch, dip the balls in melted candy pieces instead of chocolate.
Storage: Store these treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week so you can enjoy them anytime.
