Ingredients

Scale
  • Cookie Crust:
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • Pie Filling:
  • 1 package (5.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 1 carton (12 ounces) whipped topping, divided
  • 4 Butterfingers candy bars (2.1 ounces each), chopped, divided
  • Caramel Sundae Sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, salt, and baking soda; gradually stir into creamed mixture. Fold in pecans.
  2. Press dough into a greased 9-in. pie plate. Prick with a fork.
  3. Bake until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack while preparing filling.
  4. For filling, whisk instant chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until it thickens, about 2 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  5. Fold in half the whipped topping and half the chopped Butterfingers. Spread into crust. Top with remaining whipped topping; sprinkle with remaining chopped Butterfingers.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. Drizzle with caramel sundae sauce before serving.
