Description
Butterfinger Balls are a delicious treat that combines the crunch of Butterfinger candy with the creaminess of peanut butter, perfect for parties or as a special dessert at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fully incorporated. Stir in the crushed Butterfinger candy bars until evenly distributed.
- Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil or shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Tap off excess chocolate and place the coated ball back on the parchment paper. Optionally, sprinkle some crushed Butterfinger candy or drizzle white chocolate on top for decoration.
- Let the chocolate-coated balls set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
- Store the Butterfinger Balls in an airtight container in the fridge. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Experiment with different types of chocolate or toppings to customize your Butterfinger Balls. Use a cookie scoop for even-sized balls.
