Instructions:

1/ Prepare the Butterfinger Mixture:

. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger candy bars and softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined. You can use a food processor to crush the candy bars or crush them in a sealed plastic bag using a rolling pin.

2/ Shape into Balls:

. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes. Chilling makes them easier to dip in chocolate.

3/ Melt Chocolate:

. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is smooth. If desired, add a tablespoon of vegetable shortening to the chocolate and stir until smooth. The shortening helps the chocolate coat the balls more smoothly.

4/ Dip the Balls:

. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s completely coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.

5/ Decorate (Optional):

. While the chocolate is still wet, you can decorate the Butterfinger Balls with additional crushed Butterfinger candy or chocolate sprinkles if desired.

6/ Set on Wax Paper:

. Place the coated Butterfinger Balls back on the wax paper-lined baking sheet.

7/ Chill Again:

. Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator and let the chocolate coating harden for at least 1 hour.

8/ Serve:

. Once the chocolate has hardened, your Butterfinger Balls are ready to serve. Enjoy!

These Butterfinger Balls are a delightful treat for Butterfinger candy lovers. They are perfect for parties, holiday gatherings, or as a sweet indulgence anytime you’re craving a little something special.
