- Milk chocolate chips, melted for dipping
- Unsalted butter, softened
- Vanilla extract
- Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Crush the Butterfinger bars into small pieces using a zip-top bag and rolling pin or food processor.
- Melt the caramel candies in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water or milk, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Add softened butter and sweetened condensed milk to the melted caramel and stir until fully combined.
- Fold in the crushed Butterfinger pieces, reserving a handful for garnish, and mix until evenly incorporated.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Scoop out small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

- Coat each truffle in the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, tap off excess chocolate, and place back on the parchment-lined tray.

- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate coating is set.
