Ingredients
  

  • 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.
  • 1 cup Butterfinger candy bars chopped: These chocolate-covered peanut butter candies not only add a crunchy topping but their flavor is key to the pies' signature taste.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring the perfect baking temperature for your mini pies.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. Finish with Butterfinger: Sprinkle 1 cup of chopped Butterfinger candy bars generously over the whipped cream to finish off your mini pies.
  8. 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.
