8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
For the Coating:
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional Add-Ins & Variations:
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt (to balance sweetness)
Milk or dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet
White chocolate drizzle for decoration
🥣 Instructions (Step-by-Step)
1️⃣ Prepare the Butterfinger Crumbs
Unwrap the Butterfinger bars and crush them into fine crumbs using a food processor or by sealing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Small crunchy bits are perfect — no need to make powder.
2️⃣ Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the crushed Butterfingers and stir until fully combined and thick.
3️⃣ Shape the Balls
Scoop out small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4️⃣ Chill
Refrigerate the balls for 30–45 minutes, or until firm. This makes them easier to dip.
5️⃣ Melt the Chocolate
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
6️⃣ Dip & Coat
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate. Let excess drip off, then return to the parchment paper.
7️⃣ Set
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 minutes until firm.
