Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping (thawed)
- ½ cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
- 4 regular-size Butterfinger bars, crushed (reserve some for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Add melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of crust mixture into each paper-lined muffin cup. Press firmly to create a solid base. Chill while preparing the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating again until well combined.
- Fold in the whipped topping gently to keep the mixture light.
- Stir in the caramel sauce (½ cup), mixing until fully incorporated or swirled as desired.
- Fold in most of the crushed Butterfinger bars, reserving a handful for garnish.
- Spoon filling evenly into each prepared crust. Smooth the tops.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over each mini pie and sprinkle with reserved crushed Butterfinger pieces.
- Chill for at least 2 hours until firm. Remove paper liners before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat cream cheese.
- Chill the crust thoroughly before adding the filling to help it hold together.
- Add final toppings just before serving for the freshest look and crunch.
- To make it gluten-free, swap the graham crackers for gluten-free cookies.
