Butterfinger Balls are the ultimate no-bake dessert for anyone who loves the classic, crunchy peanut butter flavor of Butterfinger candy bars. These bite-sized treats combine crushed Butterfinger bars with creamy peanut butter and smooth chocolate for a rich, decadent snack. Perfect for parties, holidays, or just a sweet indulgence, they require minimal ingredients and effort but deliver maximum flavor.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips, if preferred)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional, for smooth melting)
Instructions:
- Crush Butterfingers: Start by crushing the Butterfinger candy bars into small, fine pieces. You can do this by placing them in a ziplock bag and using a rolling pin or simply pulsing them in a food processor.
- Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger pieces, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a thick dough-like consistency.
- Shape the Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Chill: Once all the balls are shaped, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the Balls: Remove the chilled Butterfinger balls from the fridge. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place the coated balls back on the parchment paper.
- Set: After all the balls are coated, return them to the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Serve: Once the chocolate has hardened, your Butterfinger Balls are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
These Butterfinger Balls are a perfect blend of creamy, crunchy, and chocolatey goodness, making them a hit with everyone who tries them!
