Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- 12 ounces whipped topping, divided
- 5.1 ounces Butterfinger fun size candy bars, unwrapped and chopped (half for filling, half for topping)
Crust
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
Instructions
- Prepare filling mixture: In a large bowl, use an electric or hand mixer to beat together the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter until smooth and creamy, creating the base for your pie filling.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in half of the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until just combined to maintain a light, airy texture.
- Add Butterfinger pieces: Stir in half of the chopped Butterfinger candy pieces into the peanut butter mixture, evenly distributing the crunchy candy bits throughout the filling.
- Fill the crust: Pour the prepared filling into the pre-made graham cracker pie crust, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula or frosting knife for a neat finish.
- Top with whipped topping: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the top of the pie filling, covering it completely with a creamy layer.
- Garnish with Butterfinger: Sprinkle the remaining chopped Butterfinger pieces over the whipped topping to add texture and a decorative touch.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for 2 to 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to firm up and the flavors to meld. Once chilled, slice and serve your no-bake dessert.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- Use a gentle folding technique when adding whipped topping to keep the filling light and fluffy.
- Chilling time is key for the pie to set properly, so plan ahead.
- This pie is best kept refrigerated and consumed within 2-3 days for freshness.
