Butterfinger Balls


  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk/dark chocolate for variety)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting and shine)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Mixture

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually stir in the powdered sugar until the mixture is well combined and forms a soft dough.
  3. Fold in the crushed Butterfinger candy bars (and optional chopped peanuts) until evenly distributed.

2. Form the Balls

  1. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it into a smooth ball between your palms.
  2. Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
  3. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes, or until firm.

3. Melt the Chocolate

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
  2. Optional: Stir in coconut oil for a smoother consistency and glossy finish.

4. Coat the Balls

  1. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  2. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, then place the coated ball back onto the parchment paper.
  3. Optional: Sprinkle additional crushed Butterfinger pieces or chopped peanuts on top before the chocolate sets.

5. Set and Serve

  1. Place the coated balls in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
  2. Once set, transfer the Butterfinger Balls to an airtight container for storage.
  3. Enjoy every bite of these crunchy, creamy, and indulgent Butterfinger Balls!
  4. Perfect as a standalone treat or paired with coffee, tea, or milk for a sweet snack.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: High-quality peanut butter and fresh Butterfinger candy bars make a noticeable difference in flavor and texture.
  • Customize the Coating: Use white chocolate, dark chocolate, or drizzle multiple types for added flair.
  • Add Variety: Roll the balls in crushed nuts, sprinkles, or cocoa powder instead of coating them in chocolate.
  • Store Properly: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
