🧈 Ingredients
You’ll need just a few simple ingredients to make this decadent Butterfinger Pie:
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
→ Provides the rich, creamy base. Let it come to room temperature for easy mixing.
1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
→ Makes the filling light, airy, and fluffy.
1 cup powdered sugar
→ Adds smooth sweetness without any graininess.
½ cup creamy peanut butter
→ Enhances the nutty flavor and pairs perfectly with the Butterfinger crunch.
3 Butterfinger candy bars, crushed
→ Adds texture and that unmistakable Butterfinger flavor.
1 pre-made graham cracker crust
→ The buttery, crumbly foundation that ties it all together.
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Adds warmth and depth to the filling.
👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Use a hand mixer on medium speed for the best texture.
Step 2: Fold in the Whipped Topping
Gently fold the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until well combined. The filling should be light and fluffy — don’t overmix or you’ll lose the airiness.
Step 3: Add the Butterfinger Candy
Reserve a small handful of crushed Butterfingers for garnish. Stir the rest into the filling until evenly distributed.
Step 4: Fill the Pie Crust
Spoon the filling into the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved Butterfinger pieces on top for extra crunch and color.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until fully set. For a firmer texture, chill overnight.
Slice and serve cold — each bite is a creamy, peanut buttery, candy-filled dream!
💡 Tips & Variations
Add chocolate drizzle: Top with melted chocolate or chocolate syrup before serving for a beautiful finish.
Use Oreo crust: Swap the graham crust for an Oreo one for extra richness.
Freeze it: This pie freezes wonderfully — wrap tightly and store for up to 2 months. Thaw slightly before serving.
Extra crunch: Stir in chopped peanuts or drizzle caramel sauce over the top.
🕒 Storage
