Ingredients
  

  • For the Crust
  • 30 Oreo cookies with filling
  • ½ cup 113 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 12 mini Butterfinger bars chopped (reserve ¼ cup for topping)
  • For the Layers
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup 129 g creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup 125 g confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 cups 180 g whipped topping, divided
  • 1 box 5.1 oz instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups 490 g cold whole milk

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Crust
  • Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.
  • Mix in melted butter until combined.
  • Press mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 9-inch square dish.
  • Sprinkle most of the chopped Butterfinger pieces over the crust (save some for topping).
  • Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Layer
  • In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
  • Mix in peanut butter and confectioners’ sugar until blended.
  • Fold in 2 cups of whipped topping until fluffy.
  • Spread evenly over the Butterfinger crust. Refrigerate while making the pudding.
  • Step 3: Add the Pudding Layer
  • In another bowl, whisk pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes.
  • Let sit for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Spread evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  • Step 4: Top and Chill
  • Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer.
  • Sprinkle with reserved Butterfinger pieces.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better).
  • Tips for Success
  • Chill longer for best results: The layers set better when chilled overnight.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese: It gives a richer flavor and creamier texture.
  • Don’t skip the filling in Oreos: It helps the crust hold together.
  • Cut with a hot knife: For clean squares, dip your knife in hot water and wipe dry before each slice.

Notes

  • Reese’s Lush Dessert – Swap Butterfinger bars for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
  • Nutella Lush – Replace peanut butter in the cream cheese layer with Nutella.
  • Mocha Version – Use mocha or coffee pudding instead of chocolate for a grown-up flavor.
  • Holiday Touch – Add crushed peppermint candies on top for a Christmas version.
  • Pie Version – Make it in a pie dish for a round, pie-like presentation.
