Festive Butterfinger Balls

Colleen

I’m up to my eyeballs in Christmas treats right now.

It’s not that I’m failing to give the treats out to family friends. I’ve taken more treats to work than I can counp making so much and then keeping too much around the house.

Out of all the things I’ve made this holiday season, though, this might be my favorite. It’s a killer candy recipe–with superb ingredients. It’s not your normal “truffle” or “buckeye”; instead, it has tons of Butterfinger bits and crushed graham crackers inside.

This recipe is a cinch to make and everybody will love it. Use whatever chocolate you like. I used semi-sweet here for the bite, but milk chocolate or dark chocolate would work as well.

Enjoy!

  • 24 oz. semi-sweet chocolate baking bars
  • Christmas sprinkles, for decorating

    • Directions

    2. Meanwhile, melt chocolate according to package instructions.
    3. Roll refrigerated butterfinger mixture into 1″ balls, creating about 3 dozen or more balls all together. Usinga fork, dip each ball, one by one, into melted chocolate, swirling so ball is covered with chocolate. Place on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet and top with Christmas sprinkles.
    4. Let chocolate covered balls harden (can pop into the fridge or freezer for a few minutes) before packaging up.
