Here’s a fun and indulgent recipe for Butterfinger Balls—sweet, crunchy, and perfect for parties or a chocolate treat!
🍫 Butterfinger Balls
🥄 Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 4–5 bars)
- 1 package (8 oz / 225g) cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (for coating)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil or shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the filling
- In a large bowl, mix crushed Butterfinger pieces and cream cheese until well combined.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until a firm dough forms.
2. Form the balls
- Scoop about 1–2 tbsp of mixture and roll into balls.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes until firm.
3. Coat with chocolate
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl (30-second intervals, stirring each time) or using a double boiler.
- Stir in vegetable oil if desired for a smoother coating.
- Dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into melted chocolate, covering completely.
- Place back on wax paper to set.
4. Chill & Serve
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let chocolate harden.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
🌟 Tips
- Use a fork or toothpick to dip balls for cleaner coating.
- Add a sprinkle of crushed nuts or extra Butterfinger pieces on top before chocolate sets for extra crunch.
- Makes a perfect holiday treat or party snack.
If you want, I can also give a no-bake mini bite-sized version or a peanut butter-infused version that’s extra decadent.
