Butterfinger Balls

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.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 16 fun-sized bars)
• 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother dipping)
• Butterfinger or chocolate sprinkles for decoration (optional)

Instructions:

1. 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. 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. 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. 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. While the chocolate is still wet, you can decorate the Butterfinger Balls with additional crushed Butterfinger candy or chocolate sprinkles if desired.
6. Place the coated Butterfinger Balls back on the wax paper-lined baking sheet.
7. Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator and let the chocolate coating harden for at least 1 hour.
8. Once the chocolate has hardened, your Butterfinger Balls are ready to serve. 

Enjoy!!
