Kitchen Equipment Needed

• 9×13-inch baking dish
• Mixing bowls
• Hand mixer or stand mixer
• Spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Plastic wrap

Ingredients

• For the Crust:
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• For the Cream Cheese Layer:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the Pudding Layer:
  • 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
• For the Topping:
  • 8 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip)
  • 4 Butterfinger candy bars, crushed

Directions

1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the next layer.
2. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Spread the mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
3. Prepare the Pudding Layer: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer.
4. Add the Topping: Spread the whipped topping over the pudding layer. Sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger candy bars evenly over the top.
5. Chill: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld.

Enjoy this delightful Butterfinger Lush, a perfect blend of creamy, crunchy, and chocolaty goodness that will satisfy any sweet tooth!
