introduction

Butterfinger Bliss Balls are small chocolate bites filled with peanut butter and crunchy Butterfinger candy. They are easy to roll and coat. Kids like them. Adults like them too. You can make them ahead and serve at any gathering.

how to make Butterfinger Bliss Balls

Make the filling, roll the balls, chill them, then dip in chocolate. Work on a clean surface. Use a spoon or small scoop to make even balls. Chill to firm them before coating. After chocolate sets, add any extra crunch or sprinkles.

Ingredients :

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars
2 cups melted chocolate (for coating)
Sprinkles or additional crushed Butterfinger for garnish (optional)

Directions :

In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, and crushed Butterfinger until well mixed.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
Place the chocolate-covered balls back on the baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle with additional crushed Butterfinger or sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
Allow them to set until the chocolate hardens.
Serve and enjoy your Butterfinger Bliss Balls!

how to serve Butterfinger Bliss Balls

tips to make Butterfinger Bliss Balls

Use creamy peanut butter for smooth mixing.
Chill the balls well before dipping. This helps the chocolate not slide off.
Work in small batches when dipping. Melt more chocolate if it starts to thicken.
Use a fork to lift balls from chocolate and tap gently to remove extra coating.

variation (if any)

Use almond butter instead of peanut butter for a different nut flavor.
Swap graham crumbs for crushed cookies like Oreos for a richer taste.
Try white chocolate or dark chocolate for the coating.
Mix some mini marshmallows into the filling for chewiness.

FAQs

Q: Can I make these nut-free?
A: Yes. Use a seed butter like sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.

Q: Can I skip the graham cracker crumbs?
A: You can, but the crumbs help bind and give texture. You might need more crushed candy or a bit of powdered sugar.

Q: How do I melt the chocolate without burning it?
A: Melt chocolate slowly in short bursts in the microwave, stirring each time. Or use a double boiler over low heat.

Q: Can I use store-bought crushed Butterfinger or crush my own?
A: Crush your own for fresh texture. Store-bought can work too if finely crushed.

Q: Are these safe to leave at room temperature?
A: In cool rooms short-term yes. In warm places keep them chilled so chocolate stays firm.
