Scale
Here’s what you’ll need to create this delightful pie:
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz whipped topping, thawed
- 3 Butterfinger candy bars, crushed

If you’re missing an ingredient, don’t worry! You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter or use a homemade crust if you’re feeling adventurous. Remember, the kitchen is your playground!
Instructions
Ready to dive in? Follow these straightforward steps:
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Stir in two-thirds of the crushed Butterfinger candy bars, reserving the rest for topping.
- Spoon the mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining Butterfinger pieces over the top.
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired, for an extra touch of indulgence.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the pie to set properly.
Tip from my kitchen: If you’re in a rush, pop the pie into the freezer for about 30 minutes to speed up the setting process. Just don’t forget it in there, or you might end up with a frozen pie-cicle!
