This pie looks amazing – and is going to be the perfect way to use up all that leftover Halloween candy!
An Oreo crust would be good. A bought one of course so it is still easy. Cool whip has a frosting you can use to replace the cream cheese……..or add to the cream cheese, cool whip mix for a knock your socks off quick pie.

My husband added this recipe to my Facebook so I surprised him with this pie after dinner I have six kids, everyone loved it! Thank you so much, it was so quick and easy. I let my kids help me we added chocolate syrup drizzled on top.
Ok for years I have done almost the same thing just I don’t use cream cheese. I use cup of sugar in my mix. No gram crackers either. Try a Angel food cake, tear it into bit size pieces, mix all your mix candy bars crushed up a bowl or two cool whip add cup of sugar mix then in a large cake pan spread y k he torn up cake. Then pour your mix all over this. Make sure it’s all covered goods the mix.place in refrigerator for an hour and serve. My son’s has always been crazy over this so I hope to share it with others too
Sorry did not see Donna’s comment above mine. I wonder if a pudding mix would work?
What would be a good substitute for the cream cheese? I hate the texture and taste of it!
Try using a can of sweetened condensed milk. I’ve had luck with that 🙂
Maybe penut butter instead of cream cheese.
I couldn’t find the Butterfinger Pie recipe?
Is there another way to make it without cream cheese? Not a fan of it… sorry
The cream cheese provides the structure for the filling, as well as the richness. I’m not really sure what you would substitute in its place. If it makes a different, I don’t really notice the cream cheese flavor in the final product.
I sent a recipe. With out the cream cheese just check out my post thanks
I have made one before without the cream cheese and everyone at church raved about it.
If you leave out the cream cheese you have to keep it in the freezer like an ice cream pie.
Good to know! 🙂 Thanks!
