½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

For the layers:

1 cup powdered sugar
1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed (divided use)

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the crust:
In a medium bowl, combine crushed Golden Oreos and melted butter. Mix well and press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Refrigerate while preparing the next layer.

In another bowl, whisk together vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes). Gently fold in ½ cup crushed Butterfingers. Spread evenly over the cream cheese layer.

4️⃣ Top with remaining whipped topping:
Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer.

5️⃣ Garnish:
Sprinkle remaining crushed Butterfingers over the top. Add chocolate or caramel drizzle if desired.

6️⃣ Chill:
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.

7️⃣ Serve:
Slice into squares and serve chilled.
