Frozen Peanut Butter Butterfinger Pie
I have mentioned before that I am not a work-outish person.
And by not work-outish, I mean that I hate anything that causes sweat, not counting anxiety over missing a sale at the mall or Mexican food.
Don’t even try to convince me that I just need to try Zumba or Yoga or whatever is the new “fun” bendy way to work out like it’s a party. There are women who were meant to bend all around the land or shake what their mama gave them to mad, funky beats. I am the other kind of woman.
The kind who stays at home and watches Judge Judy while she eats Zebra Cakes.
(unrelated, I kind of wish that Judge Judy was my grandma. The crocheted collar sticking out of her robe convinces me that she has a softer side, plus she owns a yacht)
Anyways, I have discovered a fun new, ” looking skinny” tip I thought I would share: Work out clothes automatically make you look athletic and therefor, thinner.
True story.
I have never been a “sporty girl”, I usually favor sparkly flats over sneakers, but the other day I threw some sneakers on with my leggings and hoodie and realized that I looked sort of strong. Like a person that possibly just finished a marathon or P90X. Suddenly I was running my errands with pride, knowing that people were looking at me and wondering what super important and difficult work-outish thing I had been doing earlier.
It’s sort of like having an Awesome Person costume, plus I think it makes me look a bit more intimidating, meaning that random men won’t approach me to ask where to find the creamed corn anymore.
Also, some of those work out clothes have elastic stuff in them, that sucks everything in and makes me feel like I should eat some pie.
Any day I need pie is a good day, if you ask me.
This particular pie requires no baking and can be put together in a flash. Like, for if you have company coming over last minute or you just need pie super duper bad because you want to eat it.
This pie is too yummy and easy NOT to make! SO do it do it do it do it.Frozen Peanut Butter Butterfinger Pie
INGREDIENTS
- Chocolate or Oreo Pre-made Crust
- 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 of a 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz tub Cool Whip, thawed
- 8 fun size or 3 full size Butterfinger candy bars, chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In the bowl of a mixer, combine cream cheese, condensed milk, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Beat on medium until smooth and completely combined.
2. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the Cool Whip until combined. Add chopped candy.
3. Pour mixture into pie crust. Cover and freeze until firm.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I realize you could be doing more important things with your time. Like watching the news or washing socks. I hope you stay awhile. Much more fun than socks, I promise. 
Each ingredient in the list is great on it’s own..or one or two combined…but all of them? Yeah, very fabulous indeed.
I like working out but I’ll take a frozen peanut butter butterfinger pie any day over exercise. without a doubt!
I’ll wear a yoga outfit and have a slice of this please! ;-) Look thinner and have my pie too! Haha!
This pie looks awesome. And I am a person who likes to work out, except that I always feel like eating a piece (or two!) of pie after I’m done, which kind of defeats the purpose…
Loving this peanut butter pie. Unfortunately, I love sweetened condensed milk and butterfingers too! Any chance the Cool Whip could be replaced by whipped cream? Or would that ruin the texture or recipe altogether? Thanks for posting this yummy treat!
I think that whipped cream would be just fine!!
A.) I am SO making this pie! Seriously, the ingredients ROCK and B.) I TOTALLY wear workout clothes on days I get absolutely NO exercise to look as if I did workout…. bc I’m too lazy to do a thing with my hair or makeup — or shower sometimes…. perhaps I need to cut back on my online time. :-)
You totally crack me up.
Also, this pie looks amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this!
My grandma actually looks like Judge Judy!! It’s a running joke in my family!
And, this pie looks super delicious :D
Well I will be needing this pie tomorrow if not sooner! Oh, and I need to know about those work out clothes that hold stuff in!
You are so hysterically funny… you totally make my day… every day! And this pie… HELLO! It may be a good thing that the store in my town is closed for the day… but thank goodness it will be open again tomorrow! :)
Yum…definately making this pie. For a girls night this week in fact! Love that I don’t need to work out to eat it either- I will just throw on my so called exercise pants:)
Some food looks good. Other food looks great. This looks better than both. It needs to be made in my house.
I’m not a pie person, but I’m pretty sure I’m about to become one.
I am also not a work out person. To the ever lasting grief and shame of my boyfriend. OH WELL. The TV isn’t going to watch itself. Also, it takes a different kind of strength training to accumulate calories day after day and not spend them shamelessly by walking, running, or moving about pointlessly in other ways.
Finally, Judge Judy is awesome. I wish I was home when it is on. When I was funemployed, Judge Judy was a crucial part of my very rigorous TV schedule.
Oh my, yes please! I think this would go over very well in my house.
My goodness this looks delicious. Perfectly paired with a brilliant “look thin” trick. I laughed at this one, too. Very true and really…it’s a brilliant observation. :)
well then I’m going to have to dig out some sneakers and try your little trick! Then I’m going to have to make this pie, because it’s making me drool :)
OMG I love this, you are hilarious! And thankfully elastic pants = room for extra slices of this pie!
How do you read my mind? How did you know that I have been trying to figure out a good way to combine my love of peanut butter and butterfingers? Thank you for the recipe, I will most definitely be trying this soon. Just have to figure out a good occasion…hmmm…Just because it is Thursday would be good. :) Seriously thanks and I will definitely be trying this. Please continue to read my mind and come up with more fabulous recipes. :)
I will take a big fat slice of this pie!
I love how I know I will smile when I read your posts….I LoVe your perspective….and the pie sounds awesome!!!!
Anyone who seriously exercises, or at least looks the part, deserves a piece of the pie. Think of the pie-making as exercise itself if necessary. New to your blog and am loving it. I’m off to put this one on Pinterest.
Pie looks amazing – think it could be done with a different candy – say snickers??
I’ve seen this all over pinterest!! OMG!! I die!
i’m gonna try to make this for my grandparents. they should love it.
Well I wear Spanx under my workout clothes. Then I can eat more pie. Why, you ask? Who cares! I don’t work out anyway but Spanx makes me look like I do. I love Spanx.
This pie looks delicious and very rich. I think I might try it with Butterfinger Crisps’, they don’t get stuck in your teeth like regular Butterfingers.
Wow. I think I can feel my ass getting bigger just LOOKING at that pie. Plan on making it anyways, but I will definitely pick up workout clothes to wear when I make it. Awesome tip…
Ohhh, this is good! I’m a newbie to your blog – not sure how I came across you. Facebook, Pinterest, etc.??? But you make me laugh AND you post pictures of sweet goodness. I think I’m here to stay. :)
This looks scrumptious. We are having a girls night on Saturday and I thought I knew what I was bringing. Now I want to make this….
This pie looks amazing. Perfect combination of food.
And..I totally agree with the wearing work out clothes theory. :)
absolutely deliciously gorgeous! I could really go for some of this right now…
This is the most ridiculously delicious thing I’ve seen in a long time!!!!!
PS. I am the other kind of woman too. Zebra cakes FTW.
Looks yummmmmy!
Oh! this pie looks SO GOOD! This is going to the top of my “make while hubby is away list” (I’m not being selfish he is allergic to peanuts!) But I have to admit that I am totally grossed out by people in exercise clothes at stores. If they are wearing the clothes then there is the possibility that they are all sweaty and smelly form having been to the gym… and then they /touch things/ or worse, TRY THINGS ON!!!! Eeeeeeeewwwww!!!!!!!
I am a firm believer in the “wear work out clothes so people will think you’re sporty” school of thought.
I am also a believer in Butterfinger pie. Win WIn.
Might be making this on Sunday when we have people over – looks amazing! I pinned this already this morning when I saw it, but had to actually come read the recipe too :)
Exercise is for suckers. Pie is for happy people. And this pie is for completely brilliant extremely happy people and I can’t wait to try it.
You are spot on about your “workout tip.” My friend and I used to joke that some girls on campus wore gym clothes to class just because they were as comfortable as pajamas but more socially acceptable haha. This pie definitely looks like something I would enjoy making (AND EATING!!!!)
I 100% support both this pie, and this theory. I used to be embarrassed to wear sweats while I ran errands, but now, I just try and look even more exhausted than normal and people generally assume I just left a spin class or something. Add a baseball cap and people will think you just straight came from a triathalon.
That looks soooo good! I can’t wait until Lent is over and all of the sweet things we gave up are allowed in the house again. This may be the first thing I make!
I am SO like you! I’m not a work out girl either, or a sporty kind-of girl. But I so love to throw out on that work out clothes. And that pie, wow! Loving it :)
I can’t even get over this.
This is definitely on my to-do list for the weekend!
You are so funny:)
This pie looks amazing (such clear, fantastic photos)! Butterfinger is my favorite candy bar!
I’m really wanting this for breakfast. Like right now. Like right this VERY INSTANT.
Pinned and on my must-make list. My boys are going to FLIP! And I’ll *need* my workout clothes after eating it!
This looks A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I definitely have to try this ASAP.
P.S. – You are so funny! Thanks for helping me start my day off on the right track!
You SERIOUSLY crack me up! I laugh outloud every time I read one of your posts. My cubicle neighbors must think I’m nuts! :) And I love the pie too.
I love your writing. You brightened my day. Thank you!!!
You always bring a smile to me! Now you will also bring a smile to my hubby’s face too. I know that you don’t know him, but I refer to him as The Peanut Butter Man. He thinks that just about every dessert should have peanut butter in it. He also loves Butterfinger bars. When I make this (soon) … he will think that he is in heaven!!! Thank you.
I don’t even know if they sell Butterfingers in Canada, I’ve never looked. I’m going to now though as this pie I know will taste as gorgeous as it looks!
This looks amazing and thanks for the laughs – I always have a visual when I read your posts…;)
wow…. you had me at *pie*… or *Butterfinger*… or *no bake*… heck, you hooked me with the photo before I even knew what was IN the pie~!
Just found your blog and already have a love-hate relationship with you because that pie is downright evil with calories.
I should care, but I don’t. oh we could soooooo be friends :)
Glad to have stumbled across your blog… and that wicked pie~!
Oh my goodness. I just found you through Pinterest. And I am so thankful! I love the recipes of course but I love the stories even more. The one about your husband’s weapon growing on his face…I literally laughed out loud. That is so me and my husband. I am now going to be a regular follower! Thanks for adding a little smile to my day and inches to my waist.
Looks widly delicious!

OMG!! I think I have met my younger twin!! Love your Zimbabwe comment! Love the sounds of this recipe… can’t wait to try it. Signed up for your email today too!
I found a “Butterfinger Pie” recipe on another website that was just CoolWhip, cream cheese & butterfingers. I knew there had to be a better one. Glad I kept looking! This recipe is wonderful! The extra ingredients make a world of difference. I just whipped this up for our Thanksgiving dessert today. I know my family will love it. I prefer sparkly flats too! Thanks!
This looks amazing. I love your posts and all your pics on facebook. I live in Spain and I’ve never heard of cool whip or butterfinger candy bars. Is there anything I could replace these with? Thanks xx
Ok. Where do the butterfingers go and with the crust do you add butter? No recipe for crust.Looks good though.
