Perfect for parties, potlucks, or those spontaneous sweet tooth moments, they come together fast and disappear even faster. Trust us—once you try them, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them.

Ingredients

Butter and Peanut Butter

You’ll want to use regular creamy peanut butter—think Skippy or Jif. Natural types tend to separate and mess with the texture. The butter adds a rich base and helps everything come together smoothly.

Powdered Sugar and Vanilla

Powdered sugar brings the sweetness and structure, while vanilla adds that warm, aromatic touch that ties the flavors together.

Graham Cracker Crumbs

These add texture and keep the dough from being too sticky. If your peanut butter is extra soft, graham crumbs step in as the balancing act.

Crushed Butterfinger Candy Bars

This is where the flavor hits hard. Butterfinger bars bring in that signature crispiness and peanut-buttery goodness that sets these balls apart from your typical truffles.

Chocolate Coating Options

Use chocolate bark for a glossy, smooth finish. You can also go with tempered chocolate chips if you’re feeling a little fancy. Both options work beautifully for dipping.

Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Base

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth and fluffy. This forms the rich, creamy foundation of your Butterfinger Balls.

Step 2: Add the Crunch

Stir in vanilla and powdered sugar slowly. Mix until it starts to look like a soft dough. Then fold in the graham cracker crumbs and crushed Butterfinger bars. It’ll be a little sticky—don’t panic.

Step 3: Roll the Dough

Scoop out small portions and roll them into balls (around 1 to 1½ tablespoons). Place them on a parchment-lined tray.

Step 4: Chill Before Dipping

Pop the tray into the freezer for about 30 minutes. This firms them up so they don’t fall apart when you dip them in chocolate.

Step 5: Dip and Decorate

Melt your chocolate using short 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring in between. Dip each ball in, let the excess drip off, and return to the tray. Garnish with crushed candy or sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.

Notes

  • Use Conventional Peanut Butter: Stick with brands like Jif or Skippy for a smooth, cohesive texture. Natural peanut butter tends to be oily and can cause the mixture to separate.

  • Make It Ahead: You can prep the balls up to 3 days in advance and keep them refrigerated until you’re ready to dip them in chocolate.
