Butterfinger Peanut Butter Pie (Printable Version)

Creamy peanut butter filling paired with crunchy Butterfinger candy over a graham cracker crust.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Crust

01 - 200 g graham cracker crumbs
02 - 115 g unsalted butter, melted

→ Filling

03 - 240 g creamy peanut butter
04 - 225 g cream cheese, softened
05 - 120 g powdered sugar
06 - 5 ml vanilla extract
07 - 226 g whipped topping, thawed
08 - 4 Butterfinger candy bars (2.1 oz each, crushed)

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a medium bowl until evenly moistened. Firmly press mixture into the base and sides of a 23 cm pie dish. Refrigerate to set while preparing the filling.
02 - In a large bowl, beat peanut butter and softened cream cheese until smooth, approximately 2 minutes.
03 - Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until fully combined and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
04 - Gently fold the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until just incorporated, taking care not to overmix.
05 - Reserve one Butterfinger bar for topping. Crush the remaining three and gently fold them into the filling.
06 - Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.
07 - Crush the reserved Butterfinger bar and evenly sprinkle it over the top of the filling.
08 - Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the filling to firm.
09 - Slice using a knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts for clean portions. Enjoy.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Pulse graham crackers in a food processor for a finer crust texture. Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps. Overnight chilling enhances texture.
