Let’s Make Magic! Simple 4-Step Process

Step 1: Make the Filling

In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, 1 cup crushed Butterfinger, and melted butter

Mix until fully combined—mixture will be thick and crumbly but should hold together when pressed

Step 2: Form the Balls

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into 1-inch balls

Place on parchment-lined baking sheet

Chill for 15-20 minutes until firm

Step 3: Dip in Chocolate

Melt chocolate wafers according to package directions

Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into melted chocolate

Tap gently to remove excess chocolate

Return to parchment paper

Step 4: Add the Finishing Touch

Immediately sprinkle with additional crushed Butterfinger

Let set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm

Chef’s Tips for Perfect Butterfinger Balls
CHILL BEFORE DIPPING: This prevents the balls from falling apart in the warm chocolate

USE A FORK: Makes dipping easier and helps excess chocolate drip off

CRUSH WELL: Use a food processor or place candy in a bag and crush with a rolling pin

WORK QUICKLY: Chocolate sets fast, so dip and sprinkle promptly

Flavor Variations to Try
DARK CHOCOLATE LOVER’S: Use dark chocolate melting wafers

WHITE CHOCOLATE DREAM: Dip in white chocolate instead

SALTY-SWEET: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before chocolate sets

COCONUT TWIST: Roll in toasted coconut after dipping
