Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • 4 Butterfinger candy bars (2.1 oz each), crushed (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until fully mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat together the creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until completely combined and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes more.
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
  4. Add Butterfinger pieces: Crush 3 of the Butterfinger bars into small pieces and fold them carefully into the peanut butter filling mixture.
  5. Assemble the pie: Pour the filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula for a neat finish.
  6. Add topping: Crush the remaining Butterfinger bar and sprinkle the pieces evenly over the top of the pie for extra crunch and decoration.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set properly.
  8. Serve: When ready, slice the pie into portions. For clean slices, dip your knife in hot water, wipe dry between cuts, and enjoy this rich and crunchy dessert.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use high-quality creamy peanut butter as it greatly enhances the overall taste.
  • Make sure to soften the cream cheese completely at room temperature to achieve a smooth filling.
  • Don’t overmix after adding whipped topping to keep the filling light and airy.
  • Keep the pie refrigerated until serving to maintain firmness.
  • Use a warm knife for clean slices and wipe between each cut.
