Ingredients

Units Scale

Base Mixture:

  • 1 cup crushed Butterfinger bars
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, for added crunch)
  • 1 pinch salt

Chocolate Coating:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping:

  • 1/2 cup toffee bits

Instructions

Prepare the Truffle Base:

  1. Mix the filling:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger bars, caramel sauce, chopped nuts (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Shape the truffles:

Make the Chocolate Coating:

  1. Melt the chocolate:
    • In a small saucepan, heat the whipping cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2–3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  2. Coat the truffles:
    • Remove the chilled truffle balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off.

Add the Topping:

  1. Roll in toffee bits:
    • Immediately roll the chocolate-coated truffles in the toffee bits until fully covered. Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Chill:
