1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs: The base for our delicious crust, graham cracker crumbs provide a sweet and slightly nutty flavor along with a wonderful crunch.
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted: This ingredient is essential for binding the crust together and contributing to its rich, buttery flavors.
½ cup granulated sugar: Added to the crust mixture, sugar complements the graham crackers’ sweetness and balances the other flavors in the pies.
1 cup caramel sauce: The star of the filling, caramel sauce brings a rich, sweet taste and gooey texture that perfectly complements the other components.
1 cup heavy cream, whipped: Whipped cream adds lightness and a cloud-like texture to the pie, enhancing its overall richness.

Instructions

Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring the perfect baking temperature for your mini pies.
Make the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and ½ cup granulated sugar. Stir the mixture until fully combined and crumbly.
Press into pans: Distribute the crumb mixture evenly into mini pie pans, pressing firmly into the bottom and up the sides to form your crusts.
Bake the crusts: Place the mini pie pans in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown. This process enhances the flavors and gives your pies that perfect texture. After baking, allow them to cool completely.
Add caramel: Once cooled, drizzle 1 cup of caramel sauce into each mini pie crust, ensuring an even distribution to maximize that delicious caramel flavor.
Top with whipped cream: Add 1 cup of whipped heavy cream on top of each caramel layer. Use a piping bag for a fancy look or simply spoon it on!
Finish with Butterfinger: Sprinkle 1 cup of chopped Butterfinger candy bars generously over the whipped cream to finish off your mini pies.
Chill or serve: For the best flavor and texture, chill your mini pies in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Alternatively, they can be enjoyed immediately for a softer texture.
