Variation Ideas
- Crust – Feel free to make this pie recipe with different types of pie crust. Make it a Oreo crust with crushed Oreos in a food processor.

How to Make Butterfinger Pie
Step 1 – Mix together the cream cheese and peanut butter with a hand held or stand up mixer. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 2 – Mix in the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Crush the butterfinger bars by placing them in a ziplock bag and gently beating them with a meat mallet or rolling pin. Mix the remaining into the cream cheese mixture.
Step 3 – Gently stir in the whipped topping.
Step 4 – Spread the mixture into the graham cracker crust and top with the remaining crushed butterfingers. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) and then the pie is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Cream Cheese – Make sure to softened the cream cheese before mixing with the other ingredients. This will create a delicious creamy peanut butter filling.
- Set Pie – After pouring the pie into the pie crust, make sure to chill the pie for at least 4 hours. This is why I like to make it the night before serving so it is ready to go the next day.
