Butterfinger Balls
A quick and delicious no-bake treat featuring a creamy peanut butter filling, crunchy Butterfinger candy, and smooth chocolate coating. Perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 Butterfinger candy bars crushed (save some for garnish)
- 8 oz chocolate bark or melting wafers or chocolate chips
Instructions
Prepare the peanut butter and butter mixture:
- In a large bowl, blend the creamy peanut butter and softened butter using a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth.
Add sweeteners and graham crackers:
- Slowly add powdered sugar, one spoonful at a time, mixing on low speed. Then, add the graham cracker crumbs until fully combined.
Crumble and mix Butterfingers:
- Crush the Butterfinger candy bars using a food processor, leaving a few larger pieces for added texture. Fold them into the dough.
Roll and freeze the dough:
- Use a cookie scoop to measure 1 ½ tablespoons of dough, roll into a ball, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
Coat the balls in chocolate:
- Melt the chocolate bark in short bursts in the microwave or using a double boiler. Dip each frozen ball into the chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
Garnish and set:
- While the chocolate is still soft, add a sprinkle of crushed Butterfingers or sea salt. Let the chocolate harden by placing the balls back in the freezer.
Notes
- You can substitute the Butterfingers with other candy bars like Snickers or Reese's for a different flavor.
- If you want a healthier version, swap the graham crackers for oats and use natural peanut butter.
