Description
Butterfinger Lush is a delicious layered dessert featuring a creamy peanut butter filling, a chocolate cookie crust, and a rich chocolate pudding layer, topped with crushed Butterfinger candy bars.
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 package (16 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Butterfinger candy bars, crushed (about 4–5 bars)
- 1 cup chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping until well combined. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with the melted butter until evenly coated. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form a crust.
- Spread the peanut butter mixture over the cookie crust, smoothing it out evenly. Sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger candy bars on top of the peanut butter layer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until thickened. Pour the pudding over the Butterfinger layer, spreading it evenly.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. Before serving, top with additional whipped topping and crushed Butterfinger if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try using chocolate peanut butter instead of regular peanut butter.
- You can also substitute the chocolate sandwich cookies with graham crackers for a different crust flavor.
