Make this rich, creamy no-bake Butterfinger pie featuring a chocolate cookie crust and a filling loaded with crunchy Butterfinger candy pieces. This easy dessert requires no oven time.
1 cup Butterfinger candy bars, chopped (about 6–8 bars)
1/2 cup Butterfinger candy bars, chopped, for topping
Instructions
Prepare the crust: Mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add candy pieces: Fold in 1 cup of the chopped Butterfinger candy bars.
Assemble the pie: Spoon the filling evenly into the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Chill the pie: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm. For best results, chill overnight.
Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of chopped Butterfinger candy bars over the top of the pie. Slice and serve cold.
Notes
For the easiest crust, place whole cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.
If you do not have an Oreo crust preference, you can substitute with 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs mixed with 1/4 cup sugar and 6 tablespoons melted butter.
Chop the Butterfinger bars right before you need them to keep them crunchy.
