🍫 What Are Butterfinger Balls?

Butterfinger Balls are bite-sized, no-bake confections made by combining crushed Butterfinger bars with creamy peanut butter, forming them into balls, and coating them in a layer of chocolate. They are crunchy, sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, yet surprisingly simple to make. Perfect for gift-giving or a weekend treat, they capture the essence of classic Butterfinger candy in a homemade version.

🛒 Ingredients

For the Candy Base:

• 4–5 Butterfinger candy bars (or about 8 ounces), crushed finely
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Coating:

• 12 ounces semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped
• 1 tablespoon shortening or coconut oil (optional, for smooth coating)

Optional Garnishes:

• Crushed Butterfinger pieces for sprinkling
• Colored sprinkles for festive occasions

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Candy Base

1. Place the Butterfinger bars in a large zip-top bag. Use a rolling pin or a food processor to crush them into fine crumbs. You want small, even pieces for the best texture.
2. Transfer the crushed Butterfinger pieces to a large mixing bowl.
3. Add 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl.
4. Mix everything together thoroughly with a spatula or your hands. The mixture should be sticky enough to hold together but not too wet. If it’s too dry, add a little more peanut butter, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 2: Form the Balls

1. Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls.
2. Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up — this makes dipping in chocolate much easier.
