These bite-sized delights offer a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and crunchy textures, ideal for festive occasions or whenever you crave a luscious, easy-to-make dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Butterfinger Ball Mixture

  • 4 tablespoons softened butter (½ stick)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peanut butter (avoid all-natural varieties)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup Butterfinger bars, crushed

Chocolate Coating

  • 8 ounces chocolate bark or chocolate chips

Optional Garnishes

  • Additional crushed Butterfinger bars
  • Festive sprinkles
  • Coarse sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and softened butter. Use an electric or stand mixer set to medium speed and blend until the mixture becomes creamy and uniform in texture.
  2. Add Aromatic Notes: Incorporate the vanilla extract into the peanut butter mixture and blend thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavor.
  3. Sweeten the Deal: Gradually add the powdered sugar in increments while blending at low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently to ensure all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
  4. Crunch Time: Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs along with the crushed Butterfinger bars to add texture and sweetness to the dough mixture.
  5. Shape ’em Up: Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out approximately 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the dough, roll each scoop into neat balls, and place them evenly spaced on the prepared cookie sheet.
  6. Chilling Phase: Freeze the shaped dough balls on the sheet for about 30 minutes or until they are completely firm, which will help them hold shape during the coating process.
  7. Melting the Chocolate: Place the chocolate bark or chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring well between each burst, until mostly melted. Some lumps should remain but will fully melt with stirring.
  8. Coat and Decorate: Using a fork or dipping tool, submerge each chilled ball into the melted chocolate. Fully coat each ball, or leave a small portion of the peanut butter mixture visible, depending on preference.
  9. Finishing Touches: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle with additional crushed Butterfinger bars, holiday-themed sprinkles, or a pinch of flaky sea salt for extra texture and festive flair.
  10. The Grand Finale: Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined sheet and allow the chocolate to solidify completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving and enjoying your Butterfinger Bliss Balls.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter rather than natural or chunky to achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Crushing the Butterfinger bars finely helps distribute the candy flavor evenly throughout the balls.
  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to avoid seizing; stir well between microwave intervals.
  • These balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a festive touch, customize garnishes to fit holiday themes or personal preference.
