Delicious Butterfinger truffles

Category: Sweet Treats to Satisfy Any Craving

Start with softened cream cheese mixed with crushed Butterfinger pieces for a silky filling. Shape into small balls and chill to firm them up before dunking in melted semi-sweet chocolate mixed with coconut oil for a smooth glaze. Top with crushed Butterfinger bits for an extra crunch. If the truffles get too soft, pop them in the freezer for a bit before dipping. You can try different chocolates too. Keep them cold so they stay fresh and tasty.

I love throwing a pinch of sea salt on top just before the chocolate hardens. It lifts the sweet flavors and amps up the Butterfinger taste. Whenever I whip these up, they vanish fast, and that’s always a win in my book.
