I still can’t believe that the year is almost over.  Although the heat and humidity here make it feel like it should still be the middle of summer.

With all the school, church, and work activities, it definitely doesn’t feel like the lazy days of summer though. Some days it is more difficult to balance homework, soccer practice, church activities, and dinner, but we are managing just fine.

Thankfully our kids are now old enough to help with house work and dinner prep.  Planning ahead and knowing just what we are going to have each night of the week helps too.  My husband is good at coming up with our meal list and letting me know what is for dinner.

I am so glad he loves to cook dinner more than I do.  Although recently I have been making more of our lean and green meals around here. Maybe the tide has changed…

Of course, most days I still sit and dream up these crazy desserts you see me posting here.  My list is getting rather long.  I hope your sweet tooth is ready for all these crazy ideas because I have quite a few treats to share with you.

I like to keep crescent rolls or pie crust in our refrigerator just waiting to be used in something like these Cheesecake Nutella Twists or these Nutella Pop Tarts.

The other night I got the urge to make a delicious dessert to end the night with. I don’t have many pie recipes on the blog, so I decided to put together a dreamy layer pie starting with a extra refrigerated pie crust we had.

This Peanut Butter Butterfinger Pie didn’t last the night because of all the creamy layers. The kids devoured it before I had a chance to even take pictures.  Not that I regretted the chance to make it again.  

In fact, the huge smiles on all the kids faces when they came home from school and saw it again in the refrigerator was totally worth it.

Tips for making a Peanut Butter Butterfinger Pie:

Bake a refrigerated pie crust ahead of time. Let it cool while you prep the filling. Feel free to use a no bake cookie crust, if you prefer that instead.

Beat the cream cheese until creamy. Add the sour cream and sweetened condensed milk and beat until completely mixed in. Reserve 2 cups.

Add the peanut butter to the filling in the bowl and mix completely. Pour into the bottom of the cooled pie crust.

Fold Cool Whip to the reserved mixture and spread on top of the peanut butter layer. Chill the pie for a few hours.

Swirl the remaining Cool Whip around the edge of the pie. Fill the center with crushed Butterfingers and Butterfinger Bites to the top of the pie right before serving.

One bite of this pie and you will be in dessert heaven.  Go right ahead and finish it first, I won’t tell anyone that you started with dessert.

  8. Lovely pie, Jocelyn. It would be great if you popped over to my place (carole’s chatter) and added this to the big pie and tart collection created for the latest Food on Friday. Cheers

  14. Can you use the graham cracker crust for the pie instead of the other stuff? And if so would I make it differently?

  16. My kids LOVE Butterfingers so I am thinking this would be a big hit in our house! Don’t you just love Pillsbury? They always make my baking life easier!

  23. This may be a stupid question but when it says 2 cups cool whip, does that mean you actually measure out 2 cups, or do you use 2 containers of cool whip?

    • I didn’t count them as I crushed them. As long as you buy a bag of the fun sized bars, you will have enough. I usually crush them and put them in the measuring cup right away, so I don’t end up crushing too many. Sorry that isn’t as helpful as you probably wanted.
