How to Make Butterfinger Caramel Crunch Mini Pies

Step 1: Make the crust

In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until it resembles wet sand. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons into the bottom of each dessert cup and press down firmly. Chill while you prep the filling.

Step 2: Make the filling

In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping and caramel sauce until fully combined.

Step 3: Layer the mini pies

Spoon or pipe the cream filling over the crusts. Sprinkle each with crushed Butterfinger candy. Repeat layers if your cups are deep!

Step 4: Top it off

Add a dollop of whipped topping, a drizzle of caramel, and a final sprinkle of crushed Butterfingers.

Step 5: Chill

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set. (Overnight is even better!)

What to Serve with Mini Butterfinger Pies

These are pretty perfect on their own, but if you want to make it a dessert spread:

• Hot coffee or espresso for balance
• Vanilla ice cream on the side for extra indulgence
• Chocolate-covered pretzels for salty contrast
• Mini milkshakes for a fun dessert bar pairing

Tips for the Best Mini Pies

• Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture
• Soften the cream cheese fully before mixing to avoid lumps
• Don’t skip the chill time—the texture improves as it sets
• Crush Butterfingers by placing them in a zip-top bag and pounding gently
• Want to make them fancy? Serve in mini glass jars or parfait cups

Storage Instructions

• Fridge: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days
• Freezer: Freeze without toppings for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge
• Make ahead: Assemble up to 24 hours in advance—just add toppings right before serving

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this as a full pie?

Yes! Use a prepared graham or Oreo crust and double the filling ingredients to make a full-size no-bake pie.

Are these super sweet?

They’re definitely dessert—but the tangy cream cheese balances the sweetness of the caramel and candy. You can reduce the powdered sugar slightly if desired.

Can I use homemade whipped cream?

Absolutely! Just whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Can I make them nut-free?

Butterfingers contain peanuts, so you’ll need to swap for a nut-free candy like crushed pretzels, Oreos, or chocolate chips.

Whether you’re hosting a party, bringing dessert to a potluck, or just treating yourself to something sweet and easy, these Easy Butterfinger Caramel Crunch Mini Pies are a guaranteed hit. They’re creamy, crunchy, caramelly, and no one ever guesses how simple they are to make!
