2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 16 fun-sized bars)
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp optional vegetable shortening for smoother dipping
Optional: Butterfinger or chocolate sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
Mix Ingredients: In a spacious bowl, mix together powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, Butterfinger pieces, melted butter, and peanut butter.
Form Balls: Form the mixture into 1-inch balls and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Melt Chocolate: Follow the package instructions to melt the chocolate almond bark.
Dip Balls: Take the chilled balls from the refrigerator and dip them into the melted chocolate almond bark.
Set and Enjoy: Arrange the coated balls on parchment or wax paper and allow them to sit until the chocolate has set.

Ensure the candy bars are finely crushed for a consistent texture.
Refrigerate the shaped balls for 30 minutes to make dipping easier.
Optional Decorations: Add sprinkles for an extra touch
Notes
- Chocolate Dipping Tips: For an extra smooth, shiny coating, add a tablespoon of vegetable shortening to the melted chocolate. This small addition creates a flexible coating that’s less prone to cracking once it sets.
- Chilling for Consistency: Chilling the formed balls before dipping is crucial. This helps them retain their shape when coated with chocolate, making them easier to handle and giving a more polished final result.
- Alternative Ingredients: Don’t have Butterfingers? Try using other favorite candies like Snickers or Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for unique variations.
- Storage Tips: Store Butterfinger Balls in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh and maintain the firmness of the chocolate coating. They also freeze well for longer storage.
