Step One
In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and crushed Butterfinger candy bars. Mix until well combined.
Step Two
Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls.
Place the balls on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step Three
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the optional shortening (if using) until smooth. You can use a microwave or double boiler.
Step Four
Remove the chilled balls from the fridge.
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, coating completely.

Place the dipped balls on wax paper or parchment paper.
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
