Step 5: Prepare the Chocolate Coating
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the tablespoon of oil in 20–30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy. The oil ensures the chocolate coating is silky and easy to work with.
Step 6: Dip the Balls in Chocolate
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Gently shake off any excess chocolate and place back on the parchment-lined tray.
Optional: Sprinkle a little crushed Butterfinger on top of the chocolate for extra texture and presentation.
Step 7: Chill and Serve
Place the chocolate-coated balls back in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set completely. Once firm, transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks—or enjoy immediately (we don’t judge!).
Tips for Perfection
- Use fresh Butterfingers: Older candy bars can be stale and won’t blend as smoothly.
- Don’t skip chilling: Chilling the balls before and after coating ensures they hold their shape.
- Experiment with flavors: Add a pinch of sea salt or a few drops of vanilla extract for an extra flavor punch.
- Make mini versions: Perfect for bite-sized treats at parties.
