Butterfinger Balls

Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Coating

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
2. If using, stir in 1 tablespoon of shortening or coconut oil to give the chocolate a glossy finish and smoother texture for dipping.
3. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly but remain pourable — it should coat the Butterfinger balls without being too thick or runny.

Step 4: Coat the Butterfinger Balls

1. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s completely coated.
2. Lift the ball out of the chocolate, letting any excess drip off.
3. Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. If desired, sprinkle crushed Butterfinger pieces or colorful sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets.
5. Repeat with all remaining balls.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

1. Once all balls are coated, refrigerate them for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate is firm.
2. Store the Butterfinger Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
3. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

💡 Tips for Perfect Butterfinger Balls

• Crush the candy finely: Large chunks can make rolling difficult and prevent a smooth coating.
• Chill before coating: Cold balls hold their shape better and prevent chocolate from sliding off.
• Use quality chocolate: A high-quality chocolate makes a huge difference in flavor and texture.
• Experiment with flavors: Add a pinch of sea salt to the peanut butter mixture for a sweet-and-salty twist, or use dark chocolate for a richer taste.
