Filling
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 (12.5-ounce) bag fun-sized Butterfinger bars, crushed (reserve 2 bars for topping)
- 1 (8-ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed
Crust
- 1 store-bought Oreo or chocolate graham cracker crust
- Mix Cream Cheese and Peanut Butter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter. Add the vanilla extract and beat the mixture with an electric mixer until it becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually beat in the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Fold in Butterfinger Pieces: Gently fold the crushed Butterfinger bars into the batter, distributing them evenly without breaking them down too much.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Carefully fold the thawed Cool Whip into the mixture to maintain its light and fluffy texture.
- Assemble the Pie: Spread the prepared filling evenly into the store-bought Oreo or chocolate graham cracker crust. Sprinkle the reserved crushed Butterfinger bars on top as a crunchy garnish.
- Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to ensure a smooth filling.
- Use fun-sized Butterfinger bars for easy crushing and even texture.
- Reserve some Butterfinger pieces for topping to add an attractive finish.
- This pie is best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free chocolate crust and verify Butterfinger bars ingredients.
