Description
Butterfinger Balls are no-bake, bite-sized treats made with creamy peanut butter, crushed Butterfinger candy bars, and powdered sugar, coated in smooth chocolate. They’re quick to make, easy to store, and perfect for holidays, parties, or anytime you want a sweet snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 2 cups chocolate chips or melting chocolate (semi-sweet or milk)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, to thin chocolate)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat peanut butter and softened butter until smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until dough-like consistency forms.
- Fold in crushed Butterfinger candy until evenly distributed.
- Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill balls in the refrigerator or freezer for 30 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add coconut oil if needed for thinning.
- Dip each chilled ball into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Place coated balls back on parchment paper and refrigerate until chocolate sets.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
Chill mixture briefly if too soft to roll into balls.For a white chocolate version, dip in melted white chocolate instead.Sprinkle extra crushed Butterfinger on top before the chocolate sets for added crunch.These freeze well for up to 3 months—thaw in fridge before serving.Best served cold or at room temperature—no reheating required.
