Step 4: Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and vegetable oil (optional, for a smoother coating).
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and glossy.
Step 5: Dip and Coat
- Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated.
- Gently shake off excess chocolate and place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined tray.
- If desired, sprinkle with extra crushed Butterfinger pieces, chopped nuts, or sprinkles for decoration.
Step 6: Chill and Set
- Place the chocolate-coated balls in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
- Once set, the Butterfinger Balls are ready to enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Softened cream cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened but not melted; it should be easy to mix.
- Candy texture: Leaving some Butterfinger pieces slightly larger gives the balls a delightful crunch.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
