Butterfinger Chocolate and Peanut Butter Lush

So many delicious, creamy layers and the buttery crunch of Butterfinger candy. This Butterfinger, Chocolate, and Peanut Butter Lush is pure heaven.

When I saw this Chocolate Oreo Peanut Butter Dream Pudding recipe from Seeded at the Table on Pinterest, I couldn’t make it fast enough.

And it got eaten even faster.

 

I got to meet Nikki of Seeded at the Table at a White Lily event last month and I immediately liked her. Just as much as I like her dessert.

 

There are of course many variations of this dessert- all of them amazing.

But the combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and Butterfingers makes this one hard to beat.

 

Not to mention a crust made from Oreo cookies.

Yes, this butterfinger dessert is quite sinful and very worth every single calorie.

 

Two Butterfinger Lush slices.

The oreo crust is topped by a rich peanut butter and cream cheese layer with crushed Butterfingers mixed in.

Then comes a layer of chocolate pudding, followed by a Cool Whip topping and more crushed Butterfingers.

Dessert doesn’t get any better than this.

Cool, creamy, and delicious!

Tips for making Butterfinger Lush:

  • No need to remove the cream from the oreo cookies.
  • Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
  • Be sure to get instant pudding mix, NOT the kind that needs to be cooked. If you are having trouble getting the pudding to set up, you probably got the wrong kind.

    Butterfingers are so underrated and this looks like the perfect way to use them! Looks so good!

  2. Seriously, this recipe is amazing. I would not change a thing. Thinking about trying this as a peanut butter cup combo instead of the butterfingers for a change. Delicious!!

      It is pure heaven isn’t it, but I think it would be equally delicious with peanut butter cups. 🙂

  3. I tried this recipe today. The result was quite good. I live in Europe and we do not have Butterfingers here. So I used Mars instead. And I used all the other ingredients in the recipe accordingly. The only problem was that it became very sweet. I think adding confectioners sugar is unnecessary because most of the ingredients are already sweet. But maybe the products here are different than the U.S. so my lush became very sweet. It may be OK for some people though. Other than this it is very delicious. I prepared it for my fiancee for his birthday and he loved it. Thank you Christin!

    1. I would guess it’s because Europeans aren’t accustomed to the very sweet desserts that Americans like! I love European desserts, but they are not nearly as sweet as American desserts!

  4. My husband is going to pass out when I present him this. I only hope I can do it justice, it is so perfect on your website! Nothing of mine every turns out like the website. Thank you!!!
