Prep Time: 20 minutes
Chill Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 20–24 balls
Directions
Step 1: Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed Butterfinger bars, peanut butter, and softened butter. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
Step 2: Add the Sugar
Gradually mix in powdered sugar until a firm, non-sticky dough forms.
Step 3: Shape the Balls
Roll the mixture into walnut-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 4: Chill the Centers
Freeze the rolled balls for about 10 minutes to help them hold their shape.
Step 5: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate until smooth, stirring often.
Step 6: Coat & Set
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated, then place back on the parchment. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens completely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! Butterfinger balls store well in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Why do we freeze them before dipping?
Chilling helps the balls hold their shape and prevents them from falling apart when dipped in warm chocolate.
Can I use other candy bars?
Yes! Reese’s, Kit Kat, or Crunch bars work well if you want a different flavor.
