  • 300 g milk or dark chocolate (for melting)

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.

Tips & Variations

  • Crunchier Texture: Leave some larger Butterfinger chunks when crushing for extra crunch.

  • Chocolate Options: Use dark chocolate for a richer taste or white chocolate for a sweet twist.

  • Gift-Ready Treats: Place them in mini cupcake liners for a polished, giftable look.

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.

Final Thoughts

Butterfinger Balls are the ultimate no-bake treat — creamy, crunchy, and perfectly chocolate-coated. Whether you make them for yourself, for a party, or as homemade gifts, they’re guaranteed to disappear fast!
