Chocolate Butterfinger Bites
For Football Friday or any gathering, these Butterfinger Buckeye Balls are a hit. If you love the crunch of Butterfinger bars and the creaminess of peanut butter, these candy balls will disappear fast. Think of them as an elevated version of buckeyes with a satisfying buttery crunch and a smooth chocolate shell.
How to Make Peanut Butter Butterfinger Balls
These candy bites are quick and simple to prepare. Combine powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, crushed Butterfinger bars, and crunchy peanut butter until the mixture comes together. Roll into 1-inch balls, chill, then dip in melted chocolate candy coating. Set the dipped balls on parchment or wax paper until the coating hardens.
- I used crunchy peanut butter for texture; use creamy if you prefer a smoother bite.
- Make them several days in advance and keep in an air-tight container until serving.
- Decorate with any color sprinkles for holidays, birthdays, or team colors.
- Yield is about 3 to 4 dozen, depending on ball size.
- Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for best freshness.
- These freeze well and can be stored in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a day or two.
- Properly stored, Butterfinger Balls will keep for about a month in the refrigerator.
