The Butterfinger Bliss Bites, commonly called Butterfinger Balls, are sheer temptation on a plate. Crafted with ingredients like peanut butter, icing sugar, graham crackers, diced Butterfingers, butter, and luscious melted chocolate, they're a hit at parties, BBQs, and even make thoughtful gifts.
Perfect for watching the big game or festive gatherings, the fusion of Butterfingers with peanut butter is my undeniable guilty pleasure. In essence, once they're in front of me, they're hard to resist! Think of them as the more adventurous cousins of the classic Buckeye Balls.
In my version of these petite delights, I've used crunchy peanut butter. If you're more inclined towards a silkier texture without the peanut bits, opt for the creamy kind. Personally, the crunchier, the better for me.
These Butterfinger Bliss Bites are delightful when enjoyed both warm and chilled. They can be prepared ahead of time and sealed in an airtight container, ready to dazzle your guests.
Personalize your Butterfinger Bites by garnishing them with sprinkles that match the event's theme or colors!
Remember to store these candies in a sealed container to maintain their freshness.
They're versatile in storage - place them in the freezer, refrigerator, or leave them out if you plan to indulge in a day or two.
For those opting for refrigeration, rest assured, when stored in an airtight container, they remain fresh for about a month. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
5 Butterfinger bars (1.9 ounces each), crushed to perfection
1 box of powdered sugar (16 ounces), for that sweet touch
2½ cups of graham cracker crumbs, to give it a lovely texture
1 package of chocolate almond bark or chocolate candy coating (24 ounces), for the ultimate indulgent coating
1¼ cups of butter, melted and golden
1½ cups of crunchy peanut butter, for that irresistible nutty crunch
Steps to Create Magic:
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together the powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, crushed Butterfinger bits, luscious melted butter, and the ever-delicious peanut butter.
Channel your inner sculptor and shape this mixture into 1-inch sized balls. Once done, let them chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes - this helps them keep their shape.
While our balls are getting cold, it's time to work on the chocolate. Follow the instructions on your almond bark/chocolate candy coating package to melt it to a silky-smooth consistency.
With our chilled balls ready, delicately coat each of them in our freshly melted chocolate.
As the finishing touch, place these chocolate-covered wonders onto a sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Let them rest a bit, allowing the chocolate to set, turning them into bite-sized delights ready for indulgence.
Enjoy your Butterfinger Bliss Bites with friends and family, or keep them all for yourself; we won't judge! 😉
