Ah, you’re talking about Butterfinger balls—those are a delicious, sweet treat made with crushed Butterfinger candy bars, often mixed with cream cheese or peanut butter, then rolled into balls and sometimes dipped in chocolate. They’re perfect for parties, holidays, or just a sneaky snack! 🍫
Here’s a simple way to make them:
Ingredients:
- 3 cups crushed Butterfinger bars (about 6 regular-sized bars)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar (optional, depending on sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Chocolate for dipping (optional)
Instructions:
- Crush the Butterfingers – put them in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin, or pulse briefly in a food processor. You want small chunks, not powder.
- Mix with cream cheese – in a bowl, combine crushed Butterfingers with softened cream cheese (and vanilla if using). Stir until fully blended.
- Form balls – scoop small amounts and roll into 1-inch balls.
- Optional coating – melt chocolate and dip the balls, or roll them in finely crushed Butterfingers for extra crunch.
- Chill – place the balls on a tray lined with wax paper and refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.
They’re rich, crunchy, and peanut-butter-free (if you stick to classic Butterfingers), with a creamy center that’s addictively good.
If you want, I can give you a shortcut version that doesn’t even need baking or melting chocolate—super quick and still amazing. Do you want that version too?
