Ingredients
  

For the Filling:

  • 1 ½ cups crushed Butterfinger bars – Adds that signature crisp peanut-buttery crunch.
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter – Helps bind the ingredients while enhancing the rich nutty flavor.
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened – Creates a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  • 2 cups powdered sugar – Sweetens the mixture and gives structure to the filling.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Adds a touch of warmth and depth to the flavor.

For the Coating:

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips – Melts into a rich smooth coating that balances the sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening – Helps the chocolate melt evenly and creates a glossy finish.

Optional Toppings:

  • White chocolate drizzle – For an elegant touch and added sweetness.
  • Extra crushed Butterfinger pieces – Sprinkle over the top for extra crunch and visual appeal.
  • Sea salt flakes – Enhances the flavor with a hint of contrast.

Instructions
 

Prepare the Butterfinger Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed Butterfinger bars, creamy peanut butter, and softened butter. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until everything is well incorporated. You want a smooth, slightly crumbly texture, so don’t be afraid if it’s a little thick.
  • Gradually sift in the powdered sugar and mix until the dough becomes firm enough to hold its shape. Add vanilla extract and stir until combined. This creates the perfect filling for your Butterfinger balls.

Form the Balls

  • Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly coat your hands with a bit of butter or oil for easier handling.
  • Once you’ve rolled all the balls, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the filling firm up and hold its shape.

Coat with Chocolate

  • While the filling is chilling, melt your semi-sweet chocolate chips. You can do this in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, or over a double boiler. Add coconut oil or shortening to the chocolate to ensure it melts smoothly and gives a glossy finish.
  • Once the chocolate is melted, dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the chocolate, coating it completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated balls back onto the parchment paper.

Set and Serve

  • For an extra touch, drizzle some white chocolate over the top of each ball and sprinkle with extra crushed Butterfinger or sea salt flakes for added crunch and flavor.
  • Let the chocolate coating set for about 30 minutes in the fridge or until firm. Once they’re ready, enjoy these delicious, crunchy, and creamy treats!
