Best Butterfinger Pie Recipe Easy Dessert With Butterfinger Candy

A creamy, peanut butter base folded with light whipped topping, studded with crunchy Butterfinger bits, all resting in a buttery graham cracker or chocolate crust. Topped with whipped cream, candy pieces, and a chocolate drizzle, this pie is a crowd-pleaser ready in minutes plus chill time.

Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or chocolate cookie crumbs)
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt

For the filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz whipped topping (thawed) or 2 cups lightly sweetened whipped cream
  • 1½ cups Butterfinger bits (or 6 regular bars, chopped), divided

For the topping (optional but great):

  • 1 cup whipped topping or whipped cream
  • 1 Butterfinger bar, chopped
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips + 1 tsp coconut oil or butter (for drizzle)

Instructions

  • Stir crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt until evenly moistened. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate, going up the sides. Chill 15–20 minutes to set (or bake at 350°F/175°C for 7–8 minutes, then cool completely).
  • Beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Beat in peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy.
  • Fold in the whipped topping until no streaks remain. Fold in about 1¼ cups of the Butterfinger bits.
  • Spread the filling into the crust, smoothing the top. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
  • For topping, spread or pipe whipped topping over the pie, sprinkle with remaining Butterfinger, and drizzle melted chocolate mixed with coconut oil. Chill 10 minutes to set the drizzle before slicing.

Notes

  • No-bake friendly with optional crust bake for extra crispness.

  • Make-ahead up to 24 hours; freeze (without topping) up to 1 month.

  • Use no-stir peanut butter for the most consistent texture.

  • Slice with a warmed knife for picture-perfect servings.
