Indulge in these delightful homemade buttercream candies coated in rich chocolate for a sweet treat that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Buttercream:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

For Coating:

  • 12 ounces chocolate (dark, milk, or white), chopped or in chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Buttercream: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt, and mix until well combined.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing until a thick, pliable dough forms.
  3. Scoop and roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Coat with Chocolate: Melt the chocolate with coconut oil (if using) in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  6. Dip each buttercream ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or candy dipper, tapping off excess.
  7. Return to the baking sheet and let set at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate is firm.

Notes

  • You can flavor the buttercream with peppermint, almond, or coconut extract.
  • Add sprinkles or a drizzle of contrasting chocolate before the coating sets for a decorative touch.
