Instructions:
- Begin by unwrapping the Butterfinger candy bars and placing them in a zip-top bag. Seal the bag and use a rolling pin or a mallet to crush the candy bars into small pieces. You can also use a food processor for this step if you prefer a finer texture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger candy bars and the softened cream cheese. Mix them together until well combined.
- Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip each Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat them evenly. You can use a fork or toothpicks to help with the dipping process.
- Place the chocolate-coated Butterfinger Balls back on the lined baking sheet.
- If desired, while the chocolate is still soft, you can sprinkle crushed peanuts or more crushed Butterfinger on top of each ball for added texture and flavor.
- Allow the chocolate to harden by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Once the chocolate is set, your Butterfinger Balls are ready to enjoy.
These Butterfinger Balls make for a sweet and indulgent treat for any occasion, whether it’s for a party, a special dessert, or just a fun snack. You can get creative with variations of this recipe, such as using white chocolate or dark chocolate for coating, or adding different toppings for a unique twist.
