For the Chocolate Coating

- Chill again for 30 minutes to firm up.
- 3. Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil (or vegetable oil).
- Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute, stir, then continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.
- 4. Coat the Butterfinger Balls
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Tap off excess chocolate and place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with the reserved crushed Butterfinger bars before the chocolate hardens.
- 5. Let Set & Serve
