Step 3: Add the Crunch
Fold in the crushed Butterfinger pieces using a spatula. Make sure the candy bits are evenly distributed so every bite has that perfect crispy crunch.
Tip: To crush the Butterfingers easily, place them in a zip-top bag and roll over them with a rolling pin or the back of a spoon.
Step 4: Roll into Balls
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it between your palms to form small balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue until all the mixture is used.
Once done, chill the balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This helps them firm up and makes coating easier later.
Step 5: Dip in Chocolate
Melt your chocolate candy melts (or chips) using a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring each time until smooth.
Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off, then place it back on the parchment paper.
Optional: Sprinkle a few extra crushed Butterfinger bits on top before the chocolate hardens for an extra crunchy finish.
Step 6: Chill and Serve
Return the tray to the refrigerator for another 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating has completely set.
Once firm, your Butterfinger Balls are ready to enjoy! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer shelf life.
