Ingredient Notes

This Butterfinger Balls Recipe starts out with a filling that’s made by first mixing peanut butter, salted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together. Once that’s thoroughly combined the star of this recipe makes its appearance, Butterfinger Bits!

If you’ve never picked up a bag of Butterfinger Bits they can easily be found right at Walmart! If you don’t have luck getting your hands on a bag you could also crush up Butterfinger Candy Bars into bits.

Once the Butterfinger filling has been rolled into balls and chilled they’ll get their chocolate coating. This is made by simply melting chocolate melting wafers or Callebaut chocolate.

As soon as the truffles have been dipped each one gets sprinkled with Butterfinger bits to finish them off!

How To Make Butterfinger Balls

Cream the peanut butter, salted butter, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl.

Sift the powdered sugar into the bowl. Then beat the mixture until smooth.

Stir in the Butterfinger bits. Next, place the mixture into the refrigerator to chill.

Scoop out the filling mixture and roll it into balls. Afterward, place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and transfer them to the freezer to chill.

Melt the chocolate melting wafers before removing the balls from the freezer.

Dip each Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate and then place them back on the parchment paper.

Sprinkle the tops with Butterfinger Bits and then allow the chocolate to harden.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Store These Butterfinger Truffles?

Place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. Enjoy the truffles for up to 7 days!

Do These Freeze Well?

Yes, they do! To do so, first place them on a baking sheet in a single layer and then freeze them. Then transfer them into a Ziploc freezer bag and squeeze out the excess air. Store the truffles for up to 3 months in the freezer!

Can I Use All-Natural Peanut Butter In This Recipe?

I’ve only ever tested this recipe with Jif creamy peanut butter so I’m not sure. You can certainly try though!

How Come I Have So Much Excess Chocolate Leftover?

The chocolate has to be deep enough at all times to be able to fully dip and cover the balls. Therefore you will need excess melted chocolate for depth and coverage.

How Long Can I Keep The Butterfinger Balls In The Freezer Before Dipping Them In Chocolate?

I don’t recommend freezing them for more than 30 minutes prior to dipping. If after 30 minutes you’re not ready to dip then you can transfer them from the freezer into the refrigerator.

Why Won’t The Chocolate Stick To The Balls?

It’s important that the Butterfinger balls don’t sit out too long before dipping since they’ll begin to sweat. Once they sweat the chocolate has a harder time sticking and coating the balls.

Can I Use Chocolate Chips Instead Of Melting Wafers?

Of course! Simply add 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil to every cup of chocolate chips used. This will ensure that the melted chocolate is nice and smooth, perfect for dipping!
