VARIATIONS AND ALTERNATIVES:

Candy type:

  • Try this Butterfinger Balls recipe with different varieties of candies. You just need to balance the quantity of sweetener or graham crackers in the mixture.

Chocolate type:

  • You can choose between dark chocolate, milk, or white chocolate for decoration. I opted for dark chocolate with no added sugar. This option gives the sweet balls a deep and delectable flavor while also lowering the points.

Granulated or regular sugar:

  • If you prefer, you can use regular sugar instead of powdered sugar in the same quantity. Adjust the Weight Watchers and sugar points accordingly

Peanut butter:

  • Both regular and reduced-fat peanut butter work well in this recipe. Natural peanut butter may alter the texture. You may need to add an extra quantity of graham crackers or sweeteners to help the balls maintain their shape.

Butterfinger balls with low-fat cream cheese:

  • You can prepare creamy and buttery balls using fifty percent peanut butter and fifty percent low-fat cream cheese.

Butterfinger balls with rice krispies:

  • Instead of graham crumbs, you can use rice krispies for a distinctive favor.
