For Weight Watchers Butterfinger Balls, you will need 1 cup reduced-fat or regular peanut butter, 3 tablespoons light butter substitute, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Additionally, you’ll need 3 oz Butterfinger candies, crushed, ⅔ cup to 1 cup powdered sugar substitute, and ¾ cup low-fat graham crumbs. For the coating, use 4.5 oz zero-sugar dark chocolate chips or melting wafers.
Whip and Mix the Base

Using a handheld mixer, whip the peanut butter and butter substitute until smooth and fluffy. Add crushed vanilla, Butterfingers, graham cracker crumbs, and powdered sugar replacement, gently mixing until the mixture is firm enough to shape. Adjust sweetness or texture as needed by adding powdered sugar and a splash of milk or water.

Variations and Substitutions

Try experimenting with different candy types, adjusting graham crumbs or sweetener for the right consistency. Use milk or white chocolate for decorating, or opt for no-added-sugar dark chocolate to keep it lighter. Swap powdered sugar for a real version if preferred, adjusting in the WW recipe builder. Natural peanut butter works too but may need extra graham crumbs for firmness. For a creamy twist, mix in cream cheese (half and half with peanut butter) and consume within 5–7 days. For a crunchier texture, replace some graham crumbs with Rice Krispies cereal.
Tips and Tricks

For the best Weight Watchers Butterfinger Balls, ensure the chocolate is fully melted and smooth before decorating, as cooler chocolate will make coating difficult. Adjust the size of the balls based on your WW points preference—smaller for fewer points or larger for more indulgence. Always chill the balls thoroughly before dipping or drizzling them with chocolate for the best texture. You can prep them in advance by freezing the undecorated balls and adding the chocolate coating closer to serving. Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 weeks, making them a convenient treat!
