Homemade Butterfinger Balls

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Homemade Butterfinger Balls—a no-bake treat with that signature Butterfinger flavor and crunch:

Ingredients:

• 1 (16 oz) bag candy corn
• 1 (16 oz) jar creamy peanut butter
• 16 oz chocolate candy coating (or chocolate chips + 1 tbsp coconut oil)

Instructions:

1. Melt the candy corn:
   In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the candy corn in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth (about 2–3 minutes total). Be careful—it gets hot fast.

2. Mix in peanut butter:
   Immediately stir in the peanut butter while the candy corn is still hot. Mix until fully combined into a thick dough.

3. Shape into balls:
   Once cool enough to handle, roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes.

4. Melt chocolate coating:
   While the balls chill, melt the chocolate candy coating (or chocolate chips with coconut oil) in the microwave or using a double boiler until smooth.

5. Dip and coat:
   Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick. Let excess drip off, then place back on the parchment paper.

6. Let set:
   Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or chill in the fridge to speed it up.

Optional Add-ins:

• A pinch of salt to balance sweetness
• Crushed cornflakes or graham crackers for extra crunch
