Ingredients:
- 2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 8 regular-sized bars)
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (for coating)
Optional:
- Crushed nuts, sprinkles, or additional crushed Butterfinger for coating
Instructions:
- Crush the Butterfinger Candy Bars:
- Place the Butterfinger candy bars in a plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin or another heavy object. You can also use a food processor for a finer texture.
- Mixing:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger pieces with the softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
- Forming Balls:
- Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate.
- Chilling:
- Chill the Butterfinger balls in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours or until they are firm.
- Coating:
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler.
- Dipping:
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Optional Coating:
- If desired, roll the chocolate-coated balls in crushed nuts, sprinkles, or additional crushed Butterfinger for an extra layer of texture.
- Setting:
- Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined tray and let them set in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating hardens.
- Serve:
- Once the chocolate is set, your Butterfinger Balls are ready to be served! Keep them refrigerated until you’re ready to enjoy.
These Butterfinger Balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that combines the irresistible flavors of Butterfinger with creamy cream cheese and rich chocolate coating. Enjoy!
