Description
These Butterfinger balls are the ultimate no-bake treat—creamy, crunchy, and loaded with peanut butter and crushed Butterfinger candy. Dipped in smooth chocolate and perfectly bite-sized, they’re an easy dessert to whip up for parties, holidays, or a sweet snack any day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 6 fun-size bars)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for melting chocolate)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, and crushed Butterfinger bars until fully combined.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
- While chilling, melt chocolate chips with optional coconut oil in 20-second bursts in the microwave (or over a double boiler), stirring until smooth.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off, and return to the baking sheet.
- Chill again for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
- Swap in white chocolate or dark chocolate for the coating.
- For a fun finish, roll the dipped balls in crushed Butterfinger crumbs or colorful sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- These freeze beautifully—perfect for prepping ahead of time.
