Why You’ll Love These Butterfinger Nutter Butter Truffles

You’ll love this recipe because it’s simple, rich, and totally irresistible. There’s no baking, no fuss, and only a few basic ingredients. Each bite blends the nutty flavor of Nutter Butter cookies with the caramelized crunch of Butterfinger candy, all wrapped in a smooth chocolate shell. You can make them ahead of time, store them easily in the fridge, and they’ll still taste fresh days later.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Nutter Butter Cookies (16 oz, crushed): These peanut butter sandwich cookies create the perfect base for the truffles. Crush them fine for a smooth texture.
Cream Cheese (8 oz, softened): This binds the mixture together and adds creamy richness. Use full-fat cream cheese for the best result.
Butterfinger Candy Bars (10 fun-size bars, crushed): The candy adds that signature crunchy sweetness and a burst of flavor in every bite.
Milk Chocolate Chips (16 oz, melted): High-quality chocolate chips make for a glossy coating that cracks just right when chilled.

Tip: Soften the cream cheese fully before mixing and use a food processor for even crushing.

How to Make Butterfinger Nutter Butter Truffles

Step 1 – Crush and Mix

Add Nutter Butter cookies to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Pour into a mixing bowl and blend with softened cream cheese until smooth and thick.

Step 2 – Add the Butterfinger Flavor

Crush Butterfinger bars in the processor or inside a sealed bag. Stir or fold the crushed pieces into the cookie mixture until everything’s evenly distributed.

Step 3 – Shape and Chill

Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for about 30 minutes until firm.

Step 4 – Dip in Chocolate

Melt milk chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until silky smooth. Dip each chilled ball in the melted chocolate using a fork. Let the excess drip off before setting them back on the lined tray.

Step 5 – Decorate and Set

While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle extra crushed Butterfinger over the top. Then refrigerate until the chocolate sets completely. Work quickly so the candy sticks before the coating hardens.

Recipe Tips & Variations

For smooth blending, always soften the cream cheese fully. Chill the truffles before dipping to help them hold their shape. Using parchment paper makes cleanup simple.
Try coating them with white or dark chocolate for a twist. You can also drizzle melted peanut butter on top for extra flavor. For a fun swap, use crushed Oreos instead of Nutter Butters.

To give them as gifts, place each truffle in a mini cupcake liner and package them in a festive tin. These make a delightful treat alongside creamy peanut butter balls coated in chocolate or no-bake Christmas cookies with rich chocolate and crunch.

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

Store your Butterfinger Nutter Butter Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze beautifully just thaw them in the fridge before serving. Let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before eating for the ideal creamy texture.
