In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is smooth. If desired, add a tablespoon of vegetable shortening to the chocolate and stir until smooth. The shortening helps the chocolate coat the balls more smoothly.
Dip the Balls:
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled Butterfinger ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s completely coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Decorate (Optional):
While the chocolate is still wet, you can 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 Butterfinger Balls are a delightful treat for Butterfinger candy lovers. They are perfect for parties, holiday gatherings, or as a sweet indulgence anytime you’re craving a little something special.
