This cool and creamy Butterfinger Pie is the stuff dreams are made of. It’s a no-bake dessert that’s so easy to make. Perfect for using up leftover candy and also a great excuse to buy some Butterfingers!
A chocolate oreo crust is filled with a rich and creamy filling with peanut butter and lots of crushed Butterfinger Candy bars.
Butterfingers are so much fun to make desserts with. Love this Butterfinger Lush! It’s one of the most popular recipes on Spicy Southern Kitchen.
Not only are Butterfingers one of the most delicious candies ever, they’re super easy to crush and once crushed, that awesome Butterfinger flavor is easily distributed throughout the entire deesert.
Every little bite of this Butterfinger Pie has lots of butterfinger flavor.
And little bites are what you’ll want to take! This is an ultra rich, creamy, and sweet dessert. A little goes a long way. But it’s so hard to not go back for seconds.
Type Of Peanut Butter To Use
For best results, use a no-stir peanut butter like Jif or Skippy. I have not tried this recipe with natural peanut butter.

I would use less powdered sugar and I would add a meringue on top. 😊
