Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Fast – Ready in under an hour!
  • Easy – No baking required, perfect for beginners!
  • Giftable – These make beautiful and delicious gifts for any occasion.
  • Crowd-pleasing – Everyone loves a good Butterfinger and caramel combo!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars (I love using a food processor for this!)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened (Make sure it’s nice and soft for easy mixing!)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (This adds sweetness and helps hold everything together)
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (Store-bought is perfectly fine, but homemade adds a special touch!)
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers (Adds a delightful crunch!)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (Semi-sweet or milk chocolate, your choice!)

How to Make It

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a medium bowl until it’s light, fluffy, and completely smooth. I use an electric mixer, but you can totally do this by hand if you’re feeling strong!
  2. Gently fold in the crushed Butterfinger bars and graham crackers. You want to be careful not to overmix here – we want to preserve that lovely crunch.
  3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. I find it helpful to use a small cookie scoop for even-sized truffles.
  4. Place the truffle balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This makes cleanup a breeze!
  5. Drizzle each truffle with about 1 teaspoon of caramel sauce. Get creative with your drizzling technique!
  6. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Be careful not to burn them!
  7. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, turning to coat completely. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.
  8. Return the truffles to the baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

Substitutions & Additions

Feel free to experiment! Try different types of chocolate chips (dark chocolate would be amazing!), swap the graham crackers for crushed pretzels or even chopped nuts, or add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the melted chocolate for a sweet and salty kick. The possibilities are endless!

Tips for Success

  • Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature – this will make mixing much easier.
  • Don’t overmix the truffle mixture; you want to maintain a bit of texture.
  • If your chocolate gets too thick, microwave it in short bursts until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • These can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

How to Store It

Store your delicious truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They’re best enjoyed cold!
