Instructions

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture is evenly combined and resembles wet sand.
Form the Crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to create an even crust layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and set while you prepare the filling.
Make the Filling Base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
Add Peanut Butter and Cream: Add the peanut butter and heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture, then beat until the filling becomes fluffy and well combined.
Incorporate Whipped Topping and Butterfingers: Gently fold in the whipped topping to maintain a light texture, then stir in the majority of the crushed Butterfinger bars, reserving some for garnish on top.
Assemble the Pie: Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Garnish: Sprinkle the reserved crushed Butterfinger bars over the surface to add crunch and decorative appeal.
Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 3 to 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set and the flavors to meld.
Serve: Slice the pie and serve chilled for a rich, creamy dessert with delightful crunch.

Notes

For best results, soften the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth filling.
Reserving some crushed Butterfingers for topping adds both texture and visual appeal.
This pie is best served chilled and can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet variation, or creamy for a smoother texture.
If you prefer a stronger peanut butter flavor, gently increase the peanut butter by a few tablespoons.
