- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat together peanut butter and softened cream cheese until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until well combined and creamy, about 1-2 minutes more.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Butterfinger pieces: Crush 3 Butterfinger bars (save one for topping) and fold them into the peanut butter mixture.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Add topping: Crush the remaining Butterfinger bar and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the pie.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
