Description
No-bake Butterfinger Balls are bite-sized treats made with creamy peanut butter, crushed Butterfinger candy, graham cracker crumbs, and coated in chocolate. They’re sweet, crunchy, and perfect for parties or gifting.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons softened butter (½ stick)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup crushed Butterfinger bars
- 8 ounces chocolate bark or chocolate chips
- Optional garnishes: extra crushed Butterfinger, festive sprinkles, coarse sea salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and peanut butter until smooth.
- Add vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing on low, scraping the bowl sides to incorporate everything evenly.
- Gently fold in graham cracker crumbs and crushed Butterfinger candy.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 1–1½ tablespoons of the mixture, roll into balls, and place on the sheet.
- Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes, until firm.
- Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl: heat at 50% power in 30‑second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate—fully coat or leave a part exposed for a two‑tone look.
- Place back on the sheet and garnish with crushed Butterfinger, sprinkles, or sea salt.
- Let the chocolate set before serving.
Notes
- Use standard creamy peanut butter for best results.
- Add a little vegetable oil or shortening to chocolate if it cracks.
- These freeze well—store in freezer-safe bags for up to 6 months.
- Try different candies or gluten-free crumbs for variations.
