Ingredients Breakdown

Let’s take a closer look at what makes these truffles so irresistible:

Core Ingredients:

• Crushed Butterfinger candy bars (1 cup)
  Adds crunch, peanut butter flavor, and nostalgic sweetness. Crush them finely for a smoother texture or leave some chunks for extra crunch.
• Caramel sauce (1 cup)
  Acts as the binder and adds rich, buttery sweetness. Use thick caramel for best results.
• Chocolate chips (2 cups)
  Create the smooth outer shell—semi-sweet or milk chocolate both work well.

Optional: Add a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla to the filling for extra depth.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Filling

In a medium mixing bowl:

• Combine crushed Butterfinger candy bars and caramel sauce.

Stir until well mixed and evenly combined.

Tip: Use a spatula or spoon to mix, then switch to hands for shaping.

Step 2: Shape the Truffles

Using your hands:

• Form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Optional: Use a cookie scoop for uniform size.

Step 3: Chill

Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator.

Chill for 30 minutes, until truffles are firm and easy to handle.

Tip: You can freeze them for 15 minutes if you’re short on time.

Step 4: Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl:

• Melt chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.

Alternatively, melt chocolate using a double boiler for more control.

Optional: Add 1 tsp coconut oil or butter to make the chocolate glossier and easier to coat.

Step 5: Dip the Truffles

Using a fork or dipping tool:

• Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate.

Let excess chocolate drip off, then place back on parchment paper.

Tip: Tap the fork gently on the bowl edge to remove excess chocolate.

Step 6: Set the Chocolate

Refrigerate the coated truffles for at least 1 hour, until the chocolate is fully set.

Optional: Drizzle with white chocolate or sprinkle crushed Butterfinger on top before setting.

Serve chilled or at room temperature.
