There’s something so comforting about a no-bake dessert — especially one that combines peanut butter, chocolate, and a little bit of crunch. These Easy Butterfinger Balls have it all! They’re rich, creamy, a little crispy, and totally irresistible. Think of them as bite-sized pieces of candy heaven — no oven, no fuss, and full of cozy homemade flavor.

I love making these during the holidays or whenever we have leftover candy bars (as if that ever happens!).

Time Needed

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Chill Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 24 Butterfinger Balls

Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
6 Butterfinger candy bars, finely crushed
12 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate (for dipping)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the peanut butter mixture In a large bowl, beat together peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. The mixture should be thick but smooth enough to roll into balls.
Add the crunch Stir in the crushed Butterfinger candy bars until evenly distributed. The candy gives that signature crunch and caramel flavor.
Shape the balls Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into smooth balls. Place them on the baking sheet and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until firm.
Dip in chocolate Melt the chocolate in the microwave (in 20-second bursts) or on the stove using a double boiler. Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, letting the excess drip off.
Add toppings & chill Sprinkle extra crushed Butterfinger pieces on top while the chocolate is still soft. Chill again until set — about 30 minutes — then enjoy!
