Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks

For the Topping:

  • 1 ½ cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars about 8 full-size bars
  • ½ cup chocolate syrup
  • Optional: Extra whipped cream and Butterfinger crumbs for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups crushed graham crackers, 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or a measuring cup to compact it.
  • Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Make the Filling

  • In a large bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Add 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and silky.
  • In a separate bowl, whip 1 1/2 cups heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.

Step 3: Assemble the Dessert

  • Remove the crust from the refrigerator and spread the filling evenly over the top. Use a spatula to smooth it out.
  • Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups crushed Butterfinger bars generously over the filling.
  • Drizzle 1/2 cup chocolate syrup over the top in a zigzag pattern or swirls.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

  • Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow it to set.
  • Before serving, garnish with extra whipped cream and a sprinkle of Butterfinger crumbs, if desired.
