Homemade Easy Butterfinger Bliss
Nothing warms the soul quite like a tray of freshly made treats, and these Easy Butterfinger Balls are the ultimate "no-bake" hero for your next gathering. This recipe takes that iconic, crispety-crunchety peanut butter center we all love and transforms it into a decadent, bite-sized truffle draped in a smooth, silky chocolate shell.
Ingredients
- 1 lb approx. 3 cups Butterfinger bars, finely crushed (reserve ¼ cup for topping)
- 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 12 oz chocolate melting wafers or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil optional, for a shinier chocolate finish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until light and fluffy.
- Fold in the finely crushed Butterfinger bars until the mixture is well-combined and holds together.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 1-tablespoon portions and roll them into smooth balls.
- Place the tray in the freezer for 30–45 minutes until the balls are very firm.
- Melt the chocolate wafers (and coconut oil, if using) in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
- Using a fork, dip each chilled ball into the chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
- Place back on the parchment paper and immediately top with the reserved crushed candy.
- Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or until the chocolate is completely set.
