Can I Use Regular Candy Bars Instead of Butterfinger?

Yes, you can substitute Butterfingers with similar textured candy bars, like Crunch, Heath, or even Snickers for a different kind of twist.

Ingredients for the No Bake Caramel Crunch Butterfinger Truffles

When it comes to these truffles, every ingredient plays a flavorful role. Here’s a quick look at what you’ll need and why.

• Cream cheese – This acts as the rich and creamy base that binds everything together and adds a subtle tang.
• Powdered sugar – Helps sweeten and firm up the filling without making it grainy.
• Caramel sauce – Brings the smooth, buttery sweetness that pairs so well with peanut butter and chocolate.
• Butterfinger candy bars – Crushed for that signature crispity, crunchy texture and unique flavor.
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips – Used for the outer shell, giving that classic truffle snap.
• Coconut oil – Just a bit helps the chocolate melt silky smooth and gives it a nice finish.

How To Make the No Bake Caramel Crunch Butterfinger Truffles

Step 1: Make the Truffle Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in the caramel sauce and mix well. Stir in most of the crushed Butterfinger bars, reserving some for garnish.

Step 2: Chill the Mixture

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the mixture. This makes it easier to roll into balls.

Step 3: Roll the Truffles

Scoop out spoonfuls and roll into 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 15 minutes.

Step 4: Coat in Chocolate

Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together until smooth. Dip each chilled truffle into the chocolate, coating it completely. Return to the tray and sprinkle with reserved Butterfinger crumbs.

Step 5: Let Them Set

Let the truffles sit until the chocolate hardens. You can speed this up by placing the tray in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.

How to Serve and Store No Bake Caramel Crunch Butterfinger Truffles

These truffles are best served chilled or at cool room temperature, where the filling is soft but holds its shape. They make a lovely addition to dessert platters, holiday cookie trays, or as edible gifts in cute boxes. A batch typically yields around 20 truffles, making it a great recipe for sharing.

To store, keep the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to a month. Just let them thaw for a few minutes before enjoying so the centers can soften slightly.
