Key Ingredients in Butterfinger Balls

Each ingredient in these Butterfinger Balls serves a unique purpose, combining to create that unforgettable texture and flavor. From the crispy crunch to the smooth chocolate coating, here’s what you’ll need to bring these little treats to life:

• Crushed Butterfinger Bars
  The star of the show! These add that signature crispy crunch and peanut butter flavor that make Butterfingers so addictive. The pieces melt in your mouth, giving the balls that satisfying texture.
• Powdered Sugar
  This ingredient helps bind everything together while providing just the right amount of sweetness without making it too sticky. It creates that melt-in-your-mouth experience with each bite.
• Peanut Butter
  The creamy, nutty base that ties everything together. It gives the filling a smooth consistency and enhances the flavor with that rich, savory peanut butter goodness we all love.
• Graham Cracker Crumbs
  These crumbs help provide structure and a slight crunch to the filling. They also balance the sweetness and peanut butter, making the overall texture more cohesive and less dense.
• Butter (Melted)
  Butter acts as a binding agent, helping everything come together and ensuring the mixture has the perfect smoothness. It adds a bit of richness to the flavor profile, elevating the overall taste.
• Chocolate Chips
  For the final touch, the chocolate chips are melted to create a decadent coating. They provide a smooth, glossy finish and the rich, chocolaty flavor that contrasts beautifully with the peanut butter center.

Serving Suggestions for Butterfinger Balls

Party Platter Perfection
These Butterfinger Balls are a total crowd-pleaser! Arrange them on a cute serving platter for your next party or gathering. You can even sprinkle a little extra crushed Butterfinger on top for a decorative touch. Trust me, they’ll disappear faster than you can say “seconds!”

Gift-Worthy Treats

Perfect with Coffee or Hot Chocolate
There’s nothing quite like a Butterfinger Ball alongside a warm, cozy drink. Pair them with your favorite coffee or a cup of hot chocolate for a treat that’s as comforting as it is delicious. The chocolate coating and peanut butter center just melt together with the warmth of your drink—pure heaven!

How to Store Butterfinger Balls

Once you’ve made your delicious Butterfinger Balls, you’ll want to make sure they stay as fresh as possible. To keep them at their peak, storing them properly is key. If you have any leftovers (though, let’s be honest, that’s rare!), simply store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The cool temperature will help keep the chocolate coating firm and the peanut butter center smooth. They’ll stay fresh for up to a week, though I can’t promise they’ll last that long!

If you’re looking to keep them for longer, you can freeze them for up to a month. Just make sure to place the balls on a tray in a single layer before freezing, so they don’t stick together. Once they’re frozen solid, transfer them to a zip-top bag or an airtight container. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, just let them thaw for about 10–15 minutes at room temperature, and they’ll taste just as good as when you first made them.

For a quick snack or treat, you can even store them in a small container on the countertop for a few hours. But keep in mind, the chocolate might soften if it’s too warm, so it’s best to enjoy them sooner rather than later. Whatever storage method you choose, your Butterfinger Balls are sure to stay delicious and ready for when that sweet craving hits!

Description

These Butterfinger Balls are the perfect bite-sized treat! Crunchy, peanut-buttery goodness is coated in a sweet, smooth chocolate shell that melts in your mouth. Every bite is a balance of rich flavors and satisfying textures you'll crave!

Ingredients

Scale

1/2x 1x 2x 3x

• 1 1/2 cups crushed Butterfinger bars

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 1 cup peanut butter

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs

• ¹⁄₂ cup butter, melted

• 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger bars, powdered sugar, peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter.
2. Use a spatula or spoon to mix all the ingredients together until they are well incorporated and form a thick, sticky mixture.
3. Once the mixture is well mixed, take small portions and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter, using your hands.
4. Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
5. Once all the balls are shaped, set the tray in the refrigerator and chill them for at least 30 minutes, or until they are firm.
6. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips.
7. Microwave the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
8. Remove the chilled Butterfinger balls from the refrigerator.
9. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork or spoon to fully coat the ball in chocolate.
10. Place the chocolate-coated balls back onto the parchment-lined tray.
11. After dipping all the balls, return the tray to the refrigerator and let the chocolate set for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
12. Once the chocolate is set, your Butterfinger balls are ready to enjoy.

Note

• Make sure to use smooth peanut butter for a creamy texture and easy mixing.
• For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
• If the mixture is too sticky to handle, chill it for 10-15 minutes before rolling into balls.
• To prevent the chocolate from clumping, stir constantly while microwaving.
• Store the Butterfinger balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
