Here’s The Scoop On A Dessert That Just Oozes Creamy Goodness!

I have loved Butterfinger candy bars since I was old enough to go out trick-or-treating with the older kids. There is no words that can fully describe the crispity-crunchy layers of peanutty filling. The chocolate is just there to hold the whole thing together, I think, but it does add the taste that makes the whole combination work so well.

I secretly loved how you could enjoy eating one for hours after you had taken your last bite, because it became compacted into every little nook and cranny of your teeth. You could then savor it with your tongue as you tried to dislodge it. Or you could give up and use your fingers.

INGREDIENTS

32 Oreo cookies

5 tablespoons butter, melted

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup confectioners’ sugar

¾ cup creamy peanut butter

1 bag mini Butterfingers

1 (16-ounce) container Cool Whip, divided

1 (5.9-ounce) box INSTANT chocolate pudding mix

2 cups milk

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium bowl, stir together crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Transfer to a 9X13-inch baking dish and press firmly all along the bottom. Refrigerate.

Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar. Beat in peanut butter. Fold in 1 cup of Cool Whip. Crush 6 mini Butterfingers and fold them into peanut butter mixture. Spread peanut butter mixture evenly over Oreo crust.

In a medium bowl, whisk the pudding mix and milk together. Let sit to thicken for a minute or two and then pour over peanut butter layer and spread to cover.

Spread remaining Cool Whip on top. Crush remaining Butterfingers and sprinkle on top. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Quick Tip: Save yourself some aggravation! Keep the Butterfingers in their wrappers and just tap them a few times with a rolling pin to break them into chunks. For the 6 that you are going use in the peanut butter/Cool Whip layer, roll the rolling pin over them, still in their wrappers, to crush them into smaller pieces so they will distribute evenly in that layer.
