Here’s a fun, no-bake treat: Butterfinger Balls 🍬 — sweet, crunchy, and full of that classic Butterfinger flavor.
Butterfinger Balls
Makes: ~20–24 balls
Time: ~20–30 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 6–8 standard bars)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips or melting chocolate (for coating)
- Optional: sprinkles or chopped nuts for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare candy mixture
- In a large bowl, combine crushed Butterfinger pieces, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
- Mix until a sticky, dough-like mixture forms.
- Shape balls
- Roll mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill 15–20 minutes until firm.
- Melt chocolate
- Melt chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
- Coat balls
- Dip each ball into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place back on parchment. Sprinkle with optional toppings if desired.
- Chill & serve
- Refrigerate until chocolate sets (~15–20 minutes).
- Serve cold or at room temperature.
Tips & Variations
- Extra crunch: Add finely chopped nuts to the mixture.
- Flavor twist: Use peanut butter or almond extract in the mixture.
- Mini size: Make smaller ½-inch balls for bite-sized treats.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge up to 1 week.
I can also give you a lighter, cream-cheese-free version or a peanut butter chocolate version for more flavor if you want.
Do you want me to give one of those versions?
