Butterfinger Caramel Crunch Mini Pies


  • 1 package (14 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade dough if preferred)
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 3–4 Butterfinger candy bars, crushed (about 1 cup)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips (for extra richness)

For Garnish (Optional):

  • Whipped cream
  • Extra crushed Butterfinger pieces
  • Drizzle of melted chocolate

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with cupcake liners for easy removal.

2. Prepare the Pie Crusts

  1. Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts and use a round cookie cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out circles slightly larger than the muffin tin wells.
  2. Gently press each circle into the wells of the muffin tin, shaping them into mini pie shells. Trim any excess dough if needed.

3. Add the Fillings

  1. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of caramel sauce into each mini pie shell.
  2. Sprinkle crushed Butterfinger pieces evenly over the caramel.
  3. Optional: Add a few chocolate chips on top for an extra layer of decadence.

4. Bake

  1. Bake the mini pies for 10–12 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  2. Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

5. Garnish and Serve

  1. Once cooled, garnish with whipped cream, extra crushed Butterfinger pieces, or a drizzle of melted chocolate if desired.
  2. Serve at room temperature or chilled, depending on your preference.

Tips for Success

  • Use Homemade Caramel Sauce: If you’re feeling adventurous, make your own caramel sauce for an even richer flavor.
  • Crush the Butterfingers Finely: For better distribution in the pies, crush the candy bars into small, even pieces.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the pies ahead of time and bake just before serving for fresh, warm treats.
  • Freeze for Later: Store unbaked mini pies in the freezer, then bake directly from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes to the baking time.
