Butterfinger Balls Recipe:

Whether you’re tailgating, planning a party, or simply wanting something sweet, these Butterfinger Balls are your go-to treat. They also make wonderful homemade gifts that are sure to impress. If you have a Butterfinger enthusiast, this recipe is a heartfelt way to show your love. Let’s dive into the simple steps to create these delightful bites!

Ingredients:

• 1 (16-oz) box of powdered sugar
• 2½ cups of graham cracker crumbs
• 5 (1.9-oz) Butterfinger bars, crushed into bits
• 1¼ cup of butter, melted
• 1½ cups of crunchy peanut butter (for that extra texture!)
• 1 (24-oz) package of chocolate almond bark or your preferred chocolate candy coating

Instructions:

1. Mix the Magic: In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, crushed Butterfinger bits, melted butter, and crunchy peanut butter. Stir until you have a cohesive mixture begging to be shaped.
2. Roll ’em Up: Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. This is where you can get the kids involved or have a moment of Zen rolling these sweet treasures.
3. Chill Out: Place the balls on a tray and refrigerate them for 30 minutes. This helps them firm up and makes them easier to coat in chocolate.
4. Dip in Chocolate: Melt your chocolate almond bark or candy coating as per the package instructions. Dip each chilled ball into the chocolate, ensuring a generous coating, and then place them on parchment or wax paper.
5. Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate-coated balls to sit until the chocolate sets. This is the hard part – waiting to devour them!

Notes:

• Peanut Butter Preferences: I opted for crunchy peanut butter for that added texture, but creamy works just as well if you prefer a smoother bite.
• Make-Ahead Magic: These Butterfinger Balls can be made several days in advance. Just store them in an airtight container until you’re ready to serve.
• Customize with Colors: Feel free to get creative with sprinkles to match the occasion – be it festive holidays, birthdays, or showing some team spirit!
• Batch Size: Depending on the size of your balls, this recipe yields about 3 to 4 dozen Butterfinger Balls.
