The Magic of Peanut Butter and Butterfinger

Butterfinger candy bars are known for their flaky, crunchy peanut butter center coated in chocolate. When folded into a smooth peanut butter cream filling, they add texture and bursts of candy-bar flavor throughout the pie.

Peanut butter deepens the flavor while balancing the sweetness of the whipped topping and powdered sugar. The result is a pie that’s indulgent without being overly heavy.
