Butterfinger Delights
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of finely crushed Butterfinger candy bars (approximately 16 fun-sized bars)
- 1 (8 oz.) package of softened cream cheese
- 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening (optional, for a smoother coating)
- Optional: Butterfinger or chocolate sprinkles for decoration
Instructions:
Prepare the Butterfinger Mixture:
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend the crushed Butterfinger candy bars with the softened cream cheese until
thoroughly combined. Crush the candy bars in a food processor or in a sealed plastic bag using a rolling
pin.
Shape into Balls:
Roll the mixture into small balls, around 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a wax paper-lined baking
sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes to facilitate the chocolate-dipping process.
Melt Chocolate:
Microwave the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval
until smooth. Optionally, add a tablespoon of vegetable shortening to ensure a smoother coating.
Dip the Balls:
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring even coating.
Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
Decorate (Optional):
While the chocolate is still wet, adorn the Butterfinger Balls with additional crushed Butterfinger candy or
chocolate sprinkles if desired.
Set on Wax Paper:
Place the coated Butterfinger Balls back on the wax paper-lined baking sheet.
Chill Again:
Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator, letting the chocolate coating harden for at least 1 hour.
Serve:
Once the chocolate has solidified, your Butterfinger Delights are ready to be served. Indulge in these
delightful treats, perfect for parties, holiday gatherings, or whenever you crave a special sweet moment.
