These no-bake Butterfinger Balls are creamy, crunchy, and chocolate-dipped for the perfect party-ready treat. Fast, easy, and always a hit!

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons ½ stick softened butter
  • 1 cup peanut butter avoid natural varieties
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars
  • 8 ounces chocolate bark or chocolate chips

Optional Garnishes:

  • Extra crushed Butterfinger
  • Festive sprinkles
  • Coarse sea salt

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and softened butter.
  • Beat with a stand or electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Add Flavor and Sweetness

  • Mix in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the powdered sugar, blending on low speed until incorporated. Scrape down the bowl as needed.

Step 3: Add Crunch

  • Fold in the graham cracker crumbs and crushed Butterfinger bars by hand until evenly mixed.

Step 4: Shape the Balls

  • Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop 1 to 1½ tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place on the sheet, evenly spaced.

Step 5: Chill

  • Freeze the dough balls for about 30 minutes, or until completely firm.

Melting the Chocolate & Coating

    Step 6: Melt the Chocolate

    • Place the chocolate bark or chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
    • Microwave in 30-second bursts at 50% power, stirring between each round, until mostly melted (a few lumps are okay—they’ll melt as you stir).

    Step 7: Dip and Decorate

    • Using a fork or dipping tool, submerge each ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
    • Place back on the parchment-lined sheet. While the chocolate is still soft, add your toppings: extra crushed Butterfinger, sprinkles, or flaky sea salt.

    Step 8: Set and Serve

    • Let the chocolate harden completely at room temperature or in the fridge. Once set, they’re ready to enjoy!
