Butterfinger Balls: Your New 5-Ingredient, No-Bake Obsession!

by

Butterfinger Balls are the ultimate no-bake treat—crunchy, creamy, chocolatey, and dangerously addictive. Made with just five ingredients, these bite-sized delights combine the unmistakable flavor of Butterfinger candy bars with a smooth peanut butter base, wrapped in a rich chocolate shell. They’re perfect for parties, gifting, or sneaking from the fridge when no one’s looking.

The texture is a dreamy mix of crispy candy bits and velvety filling, with a satisfying snap from the chocolate coating. No oven, no fuss—just mix, chill, dip, and devour. Whether you’re a candy lover or just need a quick dessert fix, Butterfinger Balls deliver big flavor in a small package.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1½ cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 6 fun-size bars)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (for coating)

Optional:

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (for smoother chocolate coating)
  • Sprinkles or crushed peanuts for garnish

INSTRUCTION:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter.
  2. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  3. Fold in crushed Butterfinger pieces until evenly distributed.
  4. Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Chill in the freezer for 20–30 minutes until firm.
  6. Melt chocolate chips (with coconut oil if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Dip each chilled ball into melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick.
  8. Let excess chocolate drip off, then place back on parchment.
  9. Garnish with sprinkles or crushed peanuts if desired.
  10. Chill again for 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
  11. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

SERVINGS: Makes approximately 20–24 balls, depending on size. Perfect for sharing or storing for sweet cravings throughout the week.

NOTE:

  • Butterfinger texture: Crush candy bars finely for smoother balls, or leave chunky for extra crunch.
  • Peanut butter: Use creamy for best consistency. Natural peanut butter may separate—stir well before using.
  • Chocolate coating: Semi-sweet balances the sweetness of the filling. Milk or dark chocolate can be substituted.
  • Chilling: Essential for easy dipping and clean coating.
  • Storage: Keep refrigerated for up to 1 week. Freeze for longer storage—thaw slightly before serving.
  • Serving tip: Serve cold for a firm bite or room temperature for a softer texture.
  • Customization: Add a pinch of salt to the filling for contrast, or drizzle with white chocolate for flair.
