Instructions

  • Place the 16-oz box powdered sugar, 2½ cups graham cracker crumbs, crushed Butterfinger bars, melted butter, and 1½ cups crunchy peanut butter in a large mixing bowl.
  • Stir the ingredients with a sturdy spoon or rubber spatula until the mixture is evenly combined and holds together when pressed.
  • Using a 1-inch scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
  • Refrigerate the balls for 30 minutes.
  • Melt the 24-oz package of chocolate almond bark or candy coating according to the package directions until smooth.
  • Remove the chilled balls from the refrigerator. Working one at a time, dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, letting excess chocolate drip back into the bowl, then place the dipped ball back on the lined baking sheet.
  • Let the chocolate set at room temperature until firm, or refrigerate the sheet for 15–30 minutes to speed setting.

Notes

I used crunchy peanut butter in these balls. Feel free to use creamy if you don’t like chunks of peanuts.
You can make these Butterfinger Balls several days in advance and store them in an air-tight container until you are ready to serve them.
Decorate the balls with any color sprinkles – Christmas, valentines, birthday sprinkles, or your favorite team colors.
This recipe makes about 3 or 4 dozen, depending on how big you make the balls.
