Every time I want to bring something playful and unforgettable to a party, I make my Butterfinger Caramel Crunch Mini Pies. These adorable treats are a crowd favorite—crisp shells filled with silky caramel and topped with a shower of crunchy Butterfinger bits. They’re as fun to assemble as they are to eat, and no one ever stops at just one! If you’re a fan of creamy caramel and chocolatey, peanut-buttery crunch, these mini pies belong at your next celebration.
When I’m in the mood for dessert but short on time, these are my secret weapon. They’re easy, portable, and perfect for holidays, bake sales, or cozy movie nights. Plus, their beautiful layers make everyone think you spent hours in the kitchen.
Why Butterfinger Caramel Crunch Mini Pies Are Always a Hit
These pies are pure joy in every bite. The sweetened condensed milk caramel is rich and velvety, sitting inside golden tart shells for an irresistible texture. What really sets these apart is the crushed Butterfinger topping—it adds a bite of chocolate, a hint of peanut butter, and crunchy sweetness that pairs perfectly with the gooey caramel. Every time I serve them, they’re gone within minutes and everyone asks for the recipe.
I especially love how easy they are to customize. You can swap the topping for other favorite candies or drizzle extra chocolate for a decadent look. The recipe is ideal for making ahead and assembling just before serving.

My love of bite-sized desserts goes back to baking with my family—rolling tart shells, melting caramel, and sneaking Butterfinger crumbs straight from the bag. As an adult, I’ve adapted those childhood favorites for busy schedules and parties. The combination of simple ingredients with a nostalgic, candy-inspired twist makes these mini pies the ultimate happy dessert.
