What Makes Butterfinger Balls Unique?

The distinctive flavor profile is the key! Picture peanut butter bars infused with graham crackers, but with a twist—shaped into irresistible Butterfinger Balls. Crushed Butterfinger candies elevate them to a new level of deliciousness.

Achieving the Perfect Texture

The secret lies in the perfect blend of ingredients. Smooth and creamy peanut butter forms the base, while graham crackers provide the essential texture that makes these peanut butter treats truly exceptional. Adjust the amount of graham crackers if using natural peanut butter to achieve the desired consistency.

The Chocolate Coating—What You Need to Know

Storing Your Mouth-Watering Balls

Luckily, they’re low-maintenance delights. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator for three to four weeks. Place wax or parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Want to save some for later? Make them ahead and freeze for up to six months.

Preparing in Advance

Perfect for planning ahead! Prepare the balls in advance and freeze them. When ready to serve, dip them in tempered chocolate. Let them thaw at room temperature or refrigerate overnight for a slow thaw.
