Love Butterfinger candy bars? This pie is for you! This Butterfinger Pie is made with a graham cracker crust, no-bake Butterfinger filling, whipped cream topping, and crushed Butterfinger garnish. It is incredible!
If you love Butterfinger candy bars you will love this incredible peanut butter Butterfinger pie. It’s loaded with one of my favorite candy bars and it is incredibly easy to prepare. Let’s get to it!
As someone who works from home, I basically spend the whole month of October trying not to eat the Halloween candy that I purchased for trick-or-treaters. And although I can’t justify nibbling on Halloween candy throughout the day, I can shove some of that candy into a pie and call it “work”. Ummm, is this the best job ever?

Recipe overview
I used my Peanut Butter Pie recipe as the base, with a few tweaks to load it with Butterfinger flavor. Here are the components:
- Graham cracker crust: Crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Mix up the crust, press it into a pie plate and bake it. Cool completely before filling.
- No-bake peanut butter filling: Peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and whipped cream make this filling smooth, sweet and luxurious. Stir in lots of crushed Butterfinger candy bars before adding the filling to the crust.
- Whipped cream: Top the pie with whipped cream. You can add it around the perimeter of the pie (like I did) or just spread the whipped cream right on top.
- Garnishes: Right before serving, sprinkle the pie with crushed Butterfinger. You can also use any of the following to garnish the pie: chopped peanuts, peanut butter chips, graham cracker crumbs, melted peanut butter, fudge sauce.
No-bake option
Although the filling of this pie is “no-bake” I do recommend baking the crust. I find that the pieces cut more neatly if the crust has been baked. If you would prefer a completely no-bake option you can do the following:
- Use a store bought graham cracker and use the filling and topping portion of this recipe. Note: You might have a bit more filling than can fit in a standard store bought crust. If possible, purchase a large graham cracker crust (Keebler brand offers one).
- Prepare the homemade crust and freeze for 30 minutes instead of baking. Note: the crust will be a bit more crumbly when you cut into it.
