Description

These Decadent Crispy Chocolate-Dipped Butterfinger Balls are a delightful treat combining crushed Butterfinger candy bars with creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar, all coated in a rich milk chocolate shell. Perfectly bite-sized and easy to make, these no-bake candies offer a crunchy texture wrapped in creamy chocolate, ideal for parties, holidays, or a sweet snack anytime.

Ingredients

Scale

Butterfinger Mixture

  • 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 4 regular-sized bars)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients and Equipment: Begin by assembling all your ingredients and utensils: a mixing bowl, a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and a microwave-safe bowl for melting chocolate.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In the mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger candy bars, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is uniform, thick, and moldable.
  3. Form Balls: Use your hands to shape the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball evenly spaced on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Freeze Balls: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill the balls for about 30 minutes. This step firms them up, making chocolate dipping easier and cleaner.
  5. Melt Chocolate: While the balls chill, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted, smooth, and glossy.
  6. Dip Butterfinger Balls: Remove the firm Butterfinger balls from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Lift them out to let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
  7. Cool and Decorate: Place the chocolate-coated balls back onto the parchment-lined sheet. Optionally, sprinkle crushed Butterfinger pieces or a pinch of sea salt on top before the chocolate sets for added flavor and texture.
  8. Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature, or place the tray in the refrigerator to speed up setting. Once firm, serve immediately or store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Freezing the Butterfinger balls before dipping helps maintain their shape and prevents melting.
  • If desired, substitute milk chocolate chips with dark or semi-sweet chocolate for a different flavor profile.
  • Ensure the chocolate is not overheated during melting to avoid burning.
  • Store these treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for up to one week.
  • For extra crunch, sprinkle additional crushed Butterfinger candy on top while the chocolate is still wet.
