Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 cups crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
1 cup candy corn
2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
Instructions:
Melt Candy Corn: In a large mixing bowl, melt the candy corn in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Mix with Peanut Butter: Add the peanut butter to the melted candy corn and mix until well combined.
Combine with Cereal: Stir in the crispy rice cereal until evenly coated.
Form Balls: Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill Balls: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to chill the balls while you prepare the chocolate coating.
Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted.
Coat Balls: Using a fork or toothpicks, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Tap off any excess chocolate.
Set Chocolate: Return the chocolate-coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Enjoy: Once the chocolate is set, your Homemade Butterfinger Balls are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
