Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Kitchen knife for chopping Butterfingers
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Ingrédients
  

  • 1 package of Butterfingers
  • 8 ounces of cream cheese
  • 1/4  cup of unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 2 cups of powdered sugar
  • Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or sea salt Optional toppings

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Chop the Butterfingers
    Start by chopping up the Butterfingers into small pieces, so each ball has the right mix of crunch and chew.
  • Step 2: Mix Cream Cheese and Butter
    In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese and unsalted butter. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy
  • Step 3: Add Vanilla and Sugar
    Incorporate the vanilla extract and powdered sugar into the bowl. Mix well until everything is combined, creating a smooth dough.
  • Step 4: Add the Butterfingers
    Fold in the chopped Butterfinger pieces until they’re  evenly spread throughout the dough.
  • Step 5: Roll into Balls
    Scoop a bit of the mixture and roll it into a ball about 1 inch in size. Lay each ball on a baking sheet prepared with parchment paper.
  • Step 6: Chill the Balls
    Put the Butterfinger balls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up, so they’re easier to dip in chocolate.
  • Step 7: Melt the Chocolate
    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
  • Step 8: Dip the Balls in Chocolate
    Using a fork, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Let any extra chocolate drip off before placing them back on the parchment paper.
  • Step 9: Add Toppings
    While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle on your favorite toppings like sprinkles, crushed nuts, or a dash of sea salt for extra flavor.
  • Step 10: Let the Chocolate Set
    Let the chocolate harden completely.
    When the chocolate has fully set, your Butterfinger balls are good to go! Store any extras in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
