Ingredients
Scale
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 to sprinkle on top)
- 1 (8-ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed
Crust
- 1 store-bought Oreo or chocolate graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Prepare the Creamy Base: Place the cream cheese and peanut butter in a large mixing bowl. Add the vanilla extract, then beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Add Sweetness: Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until the mixture is evenly combined and smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Incorporate Crunch: Gently fold the crushed Butterfinger bars into the cream cheese mixture, distributing the candy pieces evenly without breaking them up too much.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Carefully fold in the thawed Cool Whip, blending until the filling is light and fluffy while retaining texture.
- Assemble the Pie: Spread the prepared filling evenly into the store-bought Oreo or chocolate graham cracker crust. Sprinkle the reserved whole or roughly chopped Butterfinger bars evenly on top to add extra crunch and visual appeal.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps.
- You can substitute peanut butter with a natural peanut butter variant for a healthier option.
- Use a deep-dish crust if you prefer a thicker pie.
- Store leftovers refrigerated and consume within 3 days for freshness.
- To make it easier to slice, chill the pie overnight.
