• 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed

Instructions

1. Make the Crust (skip if using premade mini shells):

   • Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly coated.

   • Press firmly into the bottoms of 12 lined muffin tins (or mini pie pans). Chill for 10 minutes to set.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla together until smooth.

   • Gently fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy.

3. Assemble the Mini Pies:

   • Spoon a small layer of crushed Butterfingers into each crust.

   • Add a tablespoon of caramel sauce over the candy layer.

   • Fill with the peanut butter cheesecake mixture, smoothing the tops.

4. Finish & Chill:

   • Drizzle more caramel sauce on top, sprinkle with crushed Butterfingers, and (optional) add a swirl of whipped topping.

   • Chill for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to set.

5. Serve & Enjoy:

   • Before serving, add a final drizzle of caramel and chocolate syrup for a bakery-style look.

Tips & Variations

• Use mini Oreo crusts for a richer chocolate version.
