Ingredients
Scale:
1 ½ cups crushed Butterfinger bars
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips, melted
½ cup crushed Butterfinger bars (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger bars and graham cracker crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and mix until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes until set and lightly golden.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and peanut butter, continuing to mix until fully combined and creamy.
Fold in the whipped topping and vanilla extract gently until the mixture is smooth.
Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the cooled crust.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring in between until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer.
Sprinkle the remaining crushed Butterfinger bars over the top as a garnish.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
