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.

We made this for Mother’s Day and everyone loved it some couldn’t get enough of it lol. Thanks so much for your best recipe.
Thank you very much for this extremely delicious recipe, Christin. I had been craving chocolate and just couldn’t find anything that appealed to me. I then attended a friend’s New Year’s eve party recently, and got to taste THIS pie just before leaving the party. OMGarsh! It is one of the MOST DELICIOUS desserts/pies I’ve EVER tasted. It had just the right amount of chocolate to cure my craving. My friend just gave me your recipe tonight, and I can’t wait to make it for the weekend…IF I can hold out that long. 🙂
I made it for my family and they looked it ! I actually will be making another one for Thanksgiving 🥰
It look good here my email please send it to me tammysaldana53@gmail.com
Can this pie be frozen?
Yes I freeze them all the time we usually start a week ahead of a holiday making them and put them in the freezer and also in the summer if you are taking them for a family dinner out sider or church dinner out side you would want to at least freeze it over night and it will be thawing before you eat. Hope this helps Thanks.
Making this for my husband’s birthday. I used brownies and crumbled them up with melted butter and vanilla for the crust.
Delish!!!
I made this for Father’s Day, it was so good!!
Everyone loved it and it was super easy to make.
I made this for my mom yesterday for Mother’s Day and she loved it!
Hope your mom had a wonderful Mother’s day!
You can buy them butterfinger already crush at Gordon food service or any restaurant food service
I found 1 bag that was 10.2oz fun size butterfingers, so I’m 2.3 oz short. But from the looks of it, it’s going to be perfect!!
