2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the crushed Butterfinger candy bars.
- Form the Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze the balls for 30 minutes.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring after each. Add coconut oil or vegetable oil for a smoother coating.
- Coat the Balls: Dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully covered. Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate is set. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
For a smoother chocolate coating, use coconut oil or vegetable oil.
These balls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.
