- Crushed graham crackers
- Cream cheese

- Whipped topping (Cool Whip)
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- Butterfinger candy bars
Make sure to have all these ingredients before creating this delicious dessert. Once you have everything ready, you can prepare the crust.
Prepare the Pie Crust
To begin crafting the foundation for this irresistible Easy Butterfinger Pie recipe, start by combining graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Once thoroughly mixed, press the crumb and butter mixture firmly into the pie dish using a spatula or the back of a spoon, ensuring an even and compact layer. Pay special attention to pressing down on the edges to guarantee the crust holds together when served. With the crust evenly prepared, bake and proceed to mix the filling and allow it to chill, bringing you closer to savoring this effortless and indulgent dessert.
Mix and Chill the Filling
Now it’s time to move on to the filling for your Butterfinger Pie recipe.
Combine the softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
Use a hand mixer or food processor to mix everything together until smooth and creamy thoroughly. Once the filling is well combined, gently fold in the crushed Butterfinger candy bars, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
After mixing the filling, transfer it to the prepared graham cracker crust and spread it out evenly. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the filling to set. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect consistency and taste for your Butterfinger Pie.
Chilling the filling enhances the flavors and helps the pie hold its shape when served. Once the filling has set, you can add the finishing touches, bringing you one step closer to enjoying this delicious dessert.
