Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 large Butterfinger bars, crushed into chunks
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 16 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
  • 2 cups shortbread cookies, finely crushed
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted

Method
 

  1. Combine the crushed shortbread cookies and melted butter in a medium bowl.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. Refrigerate the crust for 15 minutes to set.
  4. Beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  5. Fold in half of the thawed Cool Whip into the peanut butter mixture.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
  7. Top with remaining Cool Whip and sprinkle generously with crushed Butterfinger bars.
  8. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

Use non-natural peanut butter for better stability in the filling. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature to prevent lumps. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
