Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix crushed Butterfinger candy bars with softened cream cheese until fully combined.
  2. Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
  3. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in shortening if using.
  5. Dip each chilled ball into melted chocolate, coating completely and letting excess drip off.
  6. Place coated balls back on the baking sheet and decorate with toppings if desired.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until chocolate is set, then serve.

Notes

Keep refrigerated for best texture. Try using milk chocolate or white chocolate for different flavor variations.
