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.

Recipe Tips
- A hand-held electric mixer or electric stand mixer both work well for mixing the filling.

Can you use artificial sweetner in place of powerded sugar,would also use sugar free cool whip but of course have to have butterfingers . Trying to cut down on sugar. Thanks
Love butterfingers. Could you use artifical sweetner in place of powerded sugar, & also I would use sugar free coolwhip, trying to cut down on the amt. of real sugar.
Thanks Joyce
This will be my second time making it. I used a regular graham cracker crust and it turned out awesome! Everyone loves this pie. Great recipe, thank you for sharing
Getting ready to make this. Do you think 5 1.9oz bars would be enough ?
Can also use Heath Bit ‘o Brickle chips and mini choc. chips.
Then it wouldn’t be Butterfinger Pie!!…LOL
Mine is in the fridge right now! We had some filling left over because I used tub cream cheese instead, and we are going to use it as a fruit dip. The bowl was licked clean!
C ant wait to try the pie I already had one of the other one with apples in it was wonderful
Thanks for sharing. Could this recipe be made into a Trifle?
I think that would be excellent if you made a trifle with this filling and some cut up pound cake or whatever you normally use for a trifle. I may be trying that myself soon!
I ate a piece at a restaurant and it was delicious couldn’t wait to look it up on Google Thanks
Have to make 2 of these for family get-together. Nephew’s girlfried takes one and puts it in the freezer for her and daughter😂😂
Was wonsdering if this could be made in to a Trifle? I will try it as is soon. Thanks for sharing.Chris JS
I did not use peanut butter or the pie crust. Used a baking dish, added seedless green grapes. Also, can be used as fruit dip.
I like seedless green grapes in the pie. Also, works as a fruit dip.
I make the same pie but with crushed pineapple.
For this butterfinger pie I recommend 1 cup powdered sugar and two cream cheese and may be less peanut butter.
I’m sitting here eating the pie as I type this and it’s alittle to sweet.
I agree. I was going to half the powdered sugar next time. It’s super tasty but REALLY sweet with all of those delicious candy bars.
I also made my own graham cracker crust and added a bit of cinnamon and baked it first. Yummy!
