Scale
- 2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 16 fun-sized bars)
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)
- Optional: Butterfinger or chocolate sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
Prepare the Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese and crushed Butterfinger candy bars. Mix until smooth.
Form the Balls:
- Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips according to package instructions.
- For a smoother coating, stir in 1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening while melting.
Dip and Coat:
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Optionally, decorate with sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Set and Serve:
- Let the chocolate harden at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- Chilling is Key: Refrigerating the balls before dipping prevents them from falling apart.
- Decorate for Fun: Add a festive touch with sprinkles, candy pieces, or a drizzle of white chocolate.
- Storage Tips: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to a month.
