Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, protein powder, chopped Butterfinger, chia seeds, and shredded coconut (if using).

  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
  4. Remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Using your hands, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Roll the balls in additional shredded coconut, crushed Butterfinger, or cocoa powder if desired.
  6. Place the finished Butterfinger Balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Refrigerate for another 15 minutes to allow them to fully set.
  8. Enjoy!

Notes

If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of honey or peanut butter at a time until it comes together. If it's too wet, add a tablespoon of rolled oats or protein powder. Feel free to substitute almond butter for peanut butter, use different types of protein powder, or add other candy pieces. To prevent sticking, lightly dampen your hands with water before rolling the balls. For best results, store the finished Butterfinger Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They're also freezer-friendly.
