Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 5 small bars)
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels

Optional substitutions:

  • For a nut-free option, use a caramel sauce without any nut-derived ingredients.
  • Dairy-free caramel can be substituted for those avoiding lactose.
  • Replace semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate for a richer taste or white chocolate for a sweeter version.

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Butterfinger and Caramel

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger candy bars with the caramel sauce. Stir until everything is evenly combined. This creates a sticky, delicious mixture that forms the base of the truffles.

Step 2: Shape the Truffles

Scoop out a tablespoon of the Butterfinger-caramel mixture and roll it into a small ball using your hands. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking. Repeat until all the mixture is used. Freeze the balls for 30 minutes to set.

Tip: Keep your hands slightly damp while rolling to prevent the mixture from sticking to your fingers.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Step 4: Dip the Truffles in Chocolate

Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each frozen truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the truffle back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5: Roll in Crushed Pretzels

While the chocolate is still wet, roll each truffle in crushed pretzels to add a crunchy texture. Once coated, return the truffles to the baking sheet.

Step 6: Freeze and Serve

Place the baking sheet with the truffles back in the freezer for another 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container for storage in the refrigerator.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh Butterfinger bars will give you the best crunchy texture. Avoid using stale candy bars, which may not crumble properly.
  • Chill Between Steps: Allowing the truffles to chill in between steps helps them hold their shape during dipping.
  • Add a Pinch of Sea Salt: A light sprinkle of sea salt on top of the truffles before the chocolate sets enhances the sweet and salty flavor profile.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Try adding a few drops of vanilla or almond extract to the caramel mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
