Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Coating
- Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. - Coat the Balls:
Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate. Make sure it’s fully covered. Gently tap off any excess chocolate and place it back on the parchment-lined sheet.
Step 4: Optional Decoration
- Sprinkle: While the chocolate is still wet, you can sprinkle crushed peanuts, colorful sprinkles, or even drizzle a little white chocolate for a decorative touch.
Step 5: Final Chill
- Set the Chocolate:
Place the coated Butterfinger Balls back in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours, or until the chocolate is firm. - Serve:
Once set, your Butterfinger Balls are ready to enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
Tips for the Perfect Butterfinger Balls
- Softened Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is room temperature to ensure smooth mixing.
- Finely Crushed Candy: The finer the Butterfinger crumbs, the smoother the balls will be.
- Chocolate Coating: Adding a bit of oil to the chocolate helps it coat smoothly and gives a shiny finish.
- Variations: Try mixing in a few mini chocolate chips or peanut butter for extra flavor inside the balls.
