Buttercreams are made from both chocolate and icing, which can melt when hot.

These easy candy treats will hold up for parties, but I like to chill them in the fridge before serving to keep them with a little bit of a chocolate crunch when you bite into them – this also keeps them from melting all over.

Store buttercreams in an airtight container (I line mine in parchment paper to prevent sticking or to keep them from taking on a plastic flavor) in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Buttercreams candies can be frozen for up to four months – pop one out next time you need a sweet treat, they naturally defrost quickly.

Buttercreams are incredibly easy to make – but they do require a bit of chilling and proper prep work for a perfect texture.

Follow the steps below to get perfect easy candies!

Gather buttercreams ingredients before creaming together frosting – once you get started, you want to get each step done quickly to prevent anything melting.

Since we will be letting the candies set before dipping in chocolate candy, don’t worry about getting chocolate together until candies have set and are ready to be dipped.

For easier creaming, use room temperature ingredients – but do not let cream cheese and butter become melted, or your candies will be oily and could separate giving you a weird texture.

Let mixture refrigerate before rolling out with cookie scooper (or your hands).

If candy mixture is too soft, you will have blobs instead of perfect candy balls.

Let candies chill again after forming into candy truffle shape so they can dip and retain a perfect shape.

Melt chocolate and dip candies into chocolate.

You can use a toothpick, fork, or a dipping tool.

Be sure to let set for a moment to let chocolate set – if you immediately place in refrigerator, the chocolate will whiten.

Use time chocolate is setting to add sprinkles!

Let buttercreams set in the refrigerator after dipping in chocolate to firm them and keep their perfect shape!

These buttercreams are easy, but there are a few tricks to make them perfect, pretty, and out of this world delicious every time.

Please check out my tips below for perfect results every time!

You can roll the buttercreams into balls, but I prefer to press the scoop up against the edge of the bowl to create a flat surface and let them be a half circle.

The chocolate needs to sit at room temperature for a few minutes after dipping because if you put them in the refrigerator too soon then the chocolate will start to get a white color to it.

I like to use a wide mouth drinking glass to melt the chocolate because it makes the chocolate deeper which makes it easier to dip the buttercreams.
