Ingredients

For the Crust

1 cup crushed Ritz Crackers Provides a buttery, crunchy base; substitute with crushed digestive biscuits for a similar texture.
1 cup graham cracker crumbs Adds sweetness and a subtle flavor; can be replaced with vanilla wafers if desired.
3 pieces Butterfinger Candy Bars Offers a sweet, crunchy element; option to use other chocolate bars like Snickers for a twist.
1 stick Butter Binds the crust and adds richness; use margarine as a dairy-free alternative.

For the Filling

1 quart Vanilla Ice Cream Creates a creamy, dreamy filling; for a lighter option, substitute with low-fat or dairy-free ice cream.
2 packs Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix Thickens the filling and adds vanilla flavor; can use chocolate pudding mix for a different taste.
2 cups Milk Mixes with pudding for a creamy texture; use almond milk or another milk alternative for a dairy-free option.

For the Topping

1 container Whipped Topping Provides lightness and a creamy finish; substitute with homemade whipped cream or coconut cream for a healthier alternative.
1 piece Extra Butterfinger (optional) Adds for garnish and extra crunch; consider using crushed Oreos or sprinkles for a fun twist.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Heavenly Layered Butterfinger Dessert

In a mixing bowl, combine crushed Ritz crackers, graham cracker crumbs, and crushed Butterfinger bars. Pour in melted butter and mix until well incorporated. Reserve 1 cup for topping, then press the remaining mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan.
Blend softened vanilla ice cream with instant vanilla pudding mix and milk in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy. Pour over the crust and spread evenly.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours until firm yet creamy.
Spread whipped topping over the filling. Sprinkle reserved crust mixture on top and optionally add crushed Butterfinger bars.
Return to the fridge for an additional 30 minutes to set the topping.
