Each month, a few blogging buddies and I join forces and have a little pie party on our blogs called The Great, Big Pie Bakeoff. Everyone is welcome to participate- we keep the details for each month’s theme on our little pie website. Join us in November if you wish to bake up a pie!
This month’s theme is “Scary Halloween Pies.” Thinking ahead… I wanted to bake a pie that would utilize leftover Halloween candy (or at least one that would involve snatching some candy bars from your kids’ treat bags- shhhh!). I chose Butterfinger Pie (and added some Chocolate Spiders to make it spooky).
These Halloween-themed Oreos are a must-buy during the fall holiday season for their festive color and cute imprinted designs on the cookie. I used these for the crust.
Fun-size butterfinger bars are perfect for this recipe (you’ll need to snag 23 of them from your kids’ trick or treat bags), or just use 15 ounces of butterfingers (I measured mine out with this cool scale.
Picture process:
Oreo Crust -
Chocolate Layer -
Peanut Butter Layer -
Whipped Cream/Butterfingers Layer
Time to make the spiders! I followed Zoe’s tutorial here. The body is made from a piped-on cooled chocolate ganache, and the legs are made from melted chocolate “7’s” that are popped in the freezer until firm. 
The legs are stuck into the sides of the spider to make complete spider bodies.
Spooky, huh?
This pie is as decadent as it looks. Go to the gym, get a long workout in, have a small piece of pie and a big glass of milk, and then go back to the gym. No kidding!
It’s worth the splurge though. Tell your kids to ask nicely for extra butterfingers at those houses that happen to be handing them out (and then tuck them away so you can make this pie).
This recipe can be found HERE.

I think you should totally be an evil temptress for Halloween. Just tempt everyone with this pie, and it will be absolutely believable.

Butterfingers are my husband’s favorite candy… He would absolutely love this. The little spiders are cute, too!

Wowww. I enjoy Butterfingers from time to time but I fear I would have to move into the gym to eat this. Though, for some reason, I don’t care!!
[Reply]

Oh I love this! I saw when you tweeted Zoey’s spiders, too cool! I would love to join your pie event, but i still have trouble with making crust properly. Maybe once I master that
[Reply]
Such cute spiders on your lovely pie! Are they eating your butterfinger topping? Me first!
[Reply]
A sinfully delicious pie complete with adorable little spiders – what more do we need? Too cute!
[Reply]
Ever get butterfingers stuck in your mouth or teeth? I think the perfect way to fix that is by making this pie. It’s all the flavor, yet none of that toothpicking afterwards
Happy Halloween, and have fun taking the sweets your kids don’t want
