These irresistible truffles combine the crunch of Butterfinger candy bars, gooey caramel, and velvety chocolate for a decadent treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • Butterfinger candy bars, crushed into small pieces
  • Caramel sauce, thick and creamy
  • Cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • Powdered sugar
  • Vanilla extract
  • Milk chocolate chips, melted
  • Optional toppings: extra crushed Butterfinger bits, sea salt, or sprinkles

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and caramel sauce. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  3. Stir in the crushed Butterfinger candy bars, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the mixture into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  5. While the truffles are chilling, melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 15-20 seconds until smooth.
  6. Once the truffles are firm, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they’re fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out and let the excess chocolate drip off.
  7. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with extra crushed Butterfinger bits or your choice of toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
  8. Allow the truffles to set in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate is hardened.
