Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother coating)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger candy bars, creamy peanut butter, softened butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until well combined and a dough forms. If the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more powdered sugar until it reaches a workable consistency.

Step 2: Form the Balls

Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all the balls are formed, refrigerate them for 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Step 4: Coat the Butterfinger Balls

Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5: Set the Coating

Refrigerate the Butterfinger Balls for 30 minutes or until the chocolate coating is set. Once set, they are ready to enjoy!

Cook Notes

  • Butterfinger Candy Bars: For easy crushing, place the candy bars in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin or heavy skillet.
  • Chocolate Coating: Adding coconut oil or vegetable shortening helps make the chocolate smoother and easier to work with, but it’s optional.
  • Storage: Store the Butterfinger Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Variations

1. Dark Chocolate Butterfinger Balls

Use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a richer flavor that contrasts beautifully with the sweet peanut butter filling.

2. White Chocolate Butterfinger Balls

Try coating the balls in white chocolate for a sweeter variation with a creamy flavor.

3. Coconut Butterfinger Balls

Roll the finished Butterfinger Balls in shredded coconut before the chocolate sets for an extra layer of texture and flavor.

Serving Suggestions

  • Holiday Treat: Add festive sprinkles to the chocolate coating before it sets to make these perfect for holidays like Christmas or Halloween.
  • Gift Idea: Package these treats in a cute tin or gift box for a thoughtful homemade gift for friends and family.
  • Party Tray: Arrange the Butterfinger Balls on a dessert tray alongside other bite-sized treats for a party or gathering.
