#### **Step 3: Coat the Balls in Chocolate**
1. While the peanut butter balls are chilling, melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. If you want a thinner chocolate coating, you can add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the chocolate to make it more pourable.
2. Once the peanut butter balls have chilled and firmed up, dip each one into the melted chocolate. You can use a fork or spoon to help dip and coat the balls evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated balls back on the parchment paper.
#### **Step 4: Chill and Enjoy**
1. Place the chocolate-coated Butterfinger balls back into the refrigerator for another 20-30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
2. Once the chocolate has set, your Butterfinger Balls are ready to enjoy! Keep them stored in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain their freshness.
### **Tips for the Best Butterfinger Balls**
– **For Extra Crunch**: If you love a little extra crunch, try adding a handful of crushed peanuts or pretzels to the peanut butter mixture for added texture and flavor.
– **Use a Cookie Scoop**: If you want perfectly uniform balls, use a cookie scoop to portion out the peanut butter mixture.
– **Try Different Chocolate**: While milk chocolate is the traditional coating for Butterfinger Balls, you can experiment with dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even a combination for a different flavor twist.
– **Keep Them Chilled**: Since these treats are made with peanut butter and chocolate, they are best stored in the fridge. Chilling them helps them stay firm and maintain their perfect shape.
