Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust (9-inch)
Filling
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 full-size Butterfinger bars, crushed (divided)
Topping (Optional)
- Chocolate syrup
- Extra crushed Butterfinger bars
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Flavors: Add the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and continue beating until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Fold in Whipped Topping and Candy: Gently fold in the whipped topping and 3 of the crushed Butterfinger bars with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the filling, maintaining a light and airy texture.
- Fill the Crust: Spoon the creamy filling mixture into the pre-made graham cracker pie crust, smoothing the top evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining crushed Butterfinger bars over the surface of the pie and drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired to add extra sweetness and decoration.
- Chill and Set: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set properly and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Slice the pie into 8 servings and serve chilled for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- Freeze the pie for 30 minutes before slicing for cleaner, neater slices.
- For a homemade crust, combine 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs with 6 tablespoons melted butter and ¼ cup sugar; press into a pie dish and chill before filling.
