Butterfinger Lush


Need another creamy, rich, amazing dessert to enjoy this summer? Tuck this one away - or try it today! No cooking involved, just a few layered ingredients, refrigerate, and voila. This dessert is layer after layer of yumm. Oreo cookie crust, peanut butter, cream cheese, whipped cream, Butterfingers, chocolate pudding, more whipped cream, more Butterfingers... worth every single sinful calorie. And so rich, you only need a few bites to satisfy your sweet tooth.


There are so many variations of "lush" desserts out there (I have my eyes on a strawberry shortcake version next), I will definitely be trying a few more variations out before the warm weather starts fading into fall and it's time to pull out the pumpkin!

This dish would be perfect for your next potluck.
