Step 3: Add the Butterfinger Crunch
- Chop 4–5 Butterfinger bars into very small pieces. You can pulse them briefly in a food processor for a fine crunch, but avoid turning them into powder.
- Fold the chopped Butterfinger pieces into the peanut butter mixture evenly.
Step 4: Shape the Balls
- Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Pro Tip: Chilling helps the balls hold their shape when dipping in chocolate.
Step 5: Coat in Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil if you want a silkier coating.
- Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated.
- Gently tap off excess chocolate and place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined sheet.
Step 6: Set and Serve
- Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature, or place the tray in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes for quicker firming.
- Once the chocolate is fully hardened, transfer the Butterfinger Balls to an airtight container.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or enjoy them immediately—they rarely last that long!
Tips for Perfection
- Texture Balance: Keep some Butterfinger chunks slightly larger for extra crunch.
- Flavor Variation: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate coating for a sweet-and-salty twist.
- Gifting: Wrap each ball in a small candy cup for festive presentation—they make fantastic homemade gifts.
Final Thought:
Butterfinger Balls are a simple yet indulgent treat that combines creamy, crunchy, and chocolaty flavors in every bite. Once you make them, they’ll become a favorite for holidays, birthdays, or any occasion where a little sweetness is needed. The best part? You can tweak the recipe to your taste, adding more or less candy, experimenting with chocolate types, or even sprinkling a hint of crushed nuts on top.
