• 32 Oreo Cookies: These cookies form the foundation of the dessert with a sweet, chocolaty, and crumbly crust. They add the perfect contrast to the creamy layers that follow.
• 5 Tablespoons Butter (melted): This ingredient binds the crushed Oreos together to form the crust, giving it richness and a buttery flavor.
• 1 (8-ounce) Package Cream Cheese (softened): The cream cheese creates the smooth, velvety texture of the peanut butter layer, while adding a mild tanginess that balances the sweetness of the dessert.
• 1 Cup Confectioners’ Sugar: This sweetens the cream cheese mixture, making it indulgent without being overpowering.
• 3/4 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter: The star of the dessert, the peanut butter layer brings in a creamy, nutty flavor that perfectly complements the chocolate and Butterfinger candy.
• 1 Bag Mini Butterfingers: Crushed into the peanut butter layer and used as a topping, these mini Butterfingers deliver the signature crunch and flavor that gives the dessert its name.
• 1 (16-ounce) Container Cool Whip (divided): Cool Whip adds a light, airy texture to the dessert. It’s spread on top of the peanut butter and pudding layers to create a smooth and fluffy topping.
• 1 (5.9-ounce) Box Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix: The chocolate pudding layer is smooth, creamy, and chocolatey, creating a perfect contrast to the peanut butter layer.
• 2 Cups Milk: The milk is needed to prepare the chocolate pudding mix, giving it the right consistency and a creamy texture.
