5. Dip the Balls in Chocolate
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated.
- Gently tap off excess chocolate.
- Place the chocolate-coated balls back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
6. Chill and Set
- Refrigerate the coated Butterfinger balls for 1–2 hours, or until the chocolate is fully hardened.
- Once set, they are ready to serve.
Optional: Drizzle some extra melted chocolate on top for a decorative finish or sprinkle a few crushed Butterfinger pieces for extra crunch.
Serving and Storage
- Serve: Butterfinger Balls are perfect for dessert platters, gift boxes, or as a sweet snack.
- Store: Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They can also be frozen for up to 1 month — just thaw before serving.
Pro Tips for Perfect Butterfinger Balls
- Softened cream cheese is key — too cold, and it’s hard to mix; too warm, and it’s too runny.
- Crush candy finely for smoother balls. Chunky pieces can make rolling difficult.
- Chill before chocolate coating to prevent melting and make dipping easier.
- Experiment with coatings: white chocolate or milk chocolate both work beautifully.
Final Thoughts
Butterfinger Balls are simple to make but utterly indulgent. The combination of creamy chocolate and crunchy Butterfinger inside a smooth cream cheese base makes each bite a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. They’re ideal for holiday treats, birthday parties, or a fun weekend project in the kitchen.
Try making a batch — you’ll be hooked after the first bite!
