Ingredients

  • 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Tools Needed

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Small cookie scoop or spoon
  • Baking tray
  • Parchment paper

How to Make No Bake Caramel Crunch Butterfinger Truffles

Step 1: Crush the Candy Bars

Place your Butterfinger bars in a zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin. You want small crunchy bits—not dust!

Step 2: Mix It Up

In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Butterfingers and caramel sauce. Stir until the candy is evenly coated and forms a sticky mixture.

Step 3: Roll the Truffles

Scoop small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking tray.

Step 4: Chill

Pop them into the fridge for 15–20 minutes to firm up. This helps them hold their shape when dipped.

Step 5: Melt the Chocolate

Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth and glossy.

Step 6: Dip and Set

Using a fork, dip each chilled caramel ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Return them to the tray and chill again until the chocolate is set—about 10 minutes.

Step 7: Enjoy!

Serve cold or at room temperature. They’re pure bliss in every bite.

What to Serve with No Bake Caramel Crunch Butterfinger Truffles

Pair these truffles with:

  • A mug of hot cocoa or espresso.
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an over-the-top dessert plate.
  • Add them to a holiday dessert board with Peanut Butter Blossoms, Oreo Cheesecake Balls, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites.

Tips for Making It Perfect

  • Chill before dipping. Warm caramel will slide off in the chocolate.
  • Use quality chocolate chips. It makes all the difference in flavor and texture.
  • Work quickly. Chocolate sets fast, so have everything ready before dipping.
  • Store in a cool place. These truffles can melt easily if left in warm conditions.

Storage Instructions

  • Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
  • Serving Tip: For best texture, let them sit at room temp for 5 minutes before serving.

General Information

This recipe is a nod to nostalgic candy bars we all grew up sneaking from Halloween buckets. It’s the perfect treat for summer when it’s too hot to bake, or for the holidays when your oven’s already working overtime.
