Butterfinger Balls
Butterfinger Balls are a sweet, no-bake treat that combines crushed Butterfinger candy bars with creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar, all coated in chocolate. These bite-sized goodies are rich, decadent, and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth in no time.
Ingredients
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Butterfinger candy bars crushed
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips milk or semi-sweet
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Add the candy: Crush the Butterfinger bars into small pieces and fold them into the peanut butter mixture.
- Form the balls: Use your hands to roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the balls: Place the baking sheet in the fridge and chill the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes, allowing them to firm up.
- Melt the chocolate: While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the balls: Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Return the chocolate-covered balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill again: Place the chocolate-coated balls back in the fridge for another 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Serve: Once set, serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Notes
- If you prefer a different type of chocolate, feel free to use white chocolate or dark chocolate for dipping.
- These can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for a fun, sweet treat whenever you want.
- If you don’t have Butterfinger bars, you can substitute with other crispy peanut butter candy bars like Reese’s or Crunch.
