Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 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 (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 4 Butterfinger candy bars (2.1 oz each), 3 crushed for filling plus 1 crushed for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and set while preparing the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter and softened cream cheese using a mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until well combined and smooth, an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture, being careful not to overmix to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
- Add Butterfinger pieces: Crush 3 Butterfinger bars into small pieces and fold them carefully into the peanut butter mixture for added crunch.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the prepared filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the surface evenly with a spatula.
- Add topping: Crush the remaining Butterfinger bar and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the pie for garnish and extra texture.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to fully set and flavors to meld.
- Serve: When ready, slice the pie and serve. For clean slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it dry between cuts to prevent sticking.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth mixing.
- Use a 9-inch pie dish for perfect crust coverage and filling proportions.
- Chilling the pie overnight enhances flavor and texture.
- For a lighter sweetness, adjust powdered sugar to taste.
- Butterfinger candy can be substituted with similar peanut butter and chocolate candy bars if desired.
