These Decadent Butterfinger Balls are a must-try for any Butterfinger candy enthusiast. Perfect for parties, holiday celebrations, or simply as a sweet indulgence whenever you’re in the mood for something special!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars (approximately 16 fun-sized bars)
- 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening (optional, for a smoother chocolate coating)
- Butterfinger or chocolate sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger bars with the softened cream cheese. Mix until thoroughly combined. You can crush the candy bars using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and rolling over them with a pin.
- Form the Balls: Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Chilling makes the balls easier to dip in chocolate.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. If desired, add a tablespoon of vegetable shortening for a smoother coating.
- Dip the Balls: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Add Decorations: While the chocolate is still wet, you can sprinkle additional crushed Butterfinger candy or chocolate sprinkles on top for added flair.
- Chill Again: Place the coated Butterfinger Balls back on the wax paper-lined baking sheet and return them to the refrigerator. Let the chocolate harden for at least 1 hour.
- Serve: Once the chocolate has set, your delicious Butterfinger Balls are ready to enjoy!
These treats are sure to impress everyone who tries them! Enjoy!
