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

  1. In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, and crushed Butterfinger bars until fully combined.
  2. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
  4. Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
  5. While chilling, melt chocolate chips with optional coconut oil in 20-second bursts in the microwave (or over a double boiler), stirring until smooth.
  6. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off, and return to the baking sheet.
  7. Chill again for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
  8. 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.
