Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 10.2 ounces fun size Butterfingers, unwrapped and chopped (about half of the bag)
  • 6 ounces whipped topping (half of a 12-ounce container)

Topping & Crust

  • 6 ounces whipped topping (remaining half of the 12-ounce container)
  • 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust (9-inch)
  • Remaining chopped Butterfingers for garnish (about 5.1 ounces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter using an electric or hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold half of the whipped topping (6 ounces) into the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture until just combined, taking care not to deflate the whipped topping too much.
  3. Add Butterfingers: Stir in half of the chopped Butterfinger pieces (about 5.1 ounces) evenly into the peanut butter mixture.
  4. Assemble the pie: Pour the filling mixture into the pre-made graham cracker pie crust. Use a spatula or frosting knife to smooth the surface evenly.
  5. Top the pie: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the top of the pie filling, creating an even layer.
  6. Garnish: Sprinkle the remaining chopped Butterfingers on top of the whipped topping for decoration and added crunch.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled pie for 2-4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to firm up before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • You can substitute peanut butter with any other nut butter if desired, though it will change the flavor profile.
  • If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the amount of candy used or choose a lighter whipped topping.
  • This pie should be kept refrigerated and is best served chilled.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice neat pieces; dipping the knife in hot water and drying it before each cut helps achieve clean slices.
