Yield: 6
Materials

- Cream cheese: 1 8 oz. package, softened
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips: 2 cups
- Vegetable shortening: 1 tablespoon optional, for smoother dipping

Instructions
Prepare the Butterfinger Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed Butterfinger candy bars and softened cream cheese until well mixed. Crush the candy bars using a food processor or a sealed plastic bag with a rolling pin.
Shape into Balls:
- Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Melt Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Optionally, add vegetable shortening to the chocolate and stir until smooth.
Dip the Balls:
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coating. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
Decorate (Optional):
- While the chocolate is still wet, decorate the Butterfinger Balls with additional crushed Butterfinger candy or chocolate sprinkles if desired.
Set on Wax Paper:
- Place the coated Butterfinger Balls back on the wax paper-lined baking sheet.
Chill Again:
- Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator and let the chocolate coating harden for at least 1 hour.
Serve:
- Once the chocolate has hardened, your Butterfinger Balls are ready to serve. Enjoy these sweet bites of bliss!
