Ok, I need to be honest about my occasional need for the desire to eat something that has absolutely no nutritional value, but tastes insanely good. And sugary, Frozen Butterfinger Pie falls into that category. I mean, really, who doesn’t love Butterfingers!?!?! And whoever decided to put it into a pie is a flippin’ genius. However, if I want to stay on track with my Weight Watchers Points Range, I needed to seek out a lower calorie version of this popular, yet simple dessert recipe. Thanks to Aimee’s Adventures, I found this delicious Butterfinger Pie Recipe! I altered her version a bit to make it a little bit more Weight Watchers friendly, but it still tastes fabulous. Though this isn’t an official one of Weight Watchers Dessert Recipes, I think it’s a great dessert idea for anyone who is watching their Points but has a SERIOUS sweet tooth (and Butterfinger craving)!

Butterfinger Pie Recipe

Ingredients:
- 4 low fat graham cracker sheets
- 1 tub Fat Free Cool Whip, 8 oz
- 1 Butterfinger Candy Bar (2 oz), crushed
- 1/4 cup Hershey’s Light Chocolate Syrup
- 1/4 cup Smucker’s Sugar Free Caramel Topping

Directions:
Very lightly spray an 8 x8” glass dish or pan with butter flavored non-fat cooking spray. Line the bottom with the graham cracker sheets into the bottom. Mix together the whipped topping with half of the crushed Butterfinger. Spread the cool whip mixture over the graham crackers. Drizzle both the chocolate syrup and caramel syrup on top of the whipped topping. Sprinkle the remaining half of the Butterfinger on top. Freeze for at least 4 hours. Cut into 8 equally sized pieces.

Weight Watchers Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie Recipe

Ingredients:
1/2 cup(s) reduced-fat peanut butter*
4 oz light cream cheese
4 oz fat-free cream cheese
12 oz fat-free sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 cup(s) lite whipped topping, thawed if frozen
5 tbsp mini chocolate chips, divided
1 tbsp Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup
6 oz reduced fat pie crust

*You can save even more Points in this recipe by substituting the peanut butter with “Better’n Peanut Butter“, which you can find at Trader Joe’s or other health food stores. The taste is still very good, but it does a little different that the reduced fat peanut butter. Though, this substitution will save you 2 Weight Watchers Points per serving!

Directions:
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together peanut butter and both types of cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in milk and lemon juice; fold in whipped topping and 4 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips. Spoon peanut butter mixture into prepared pie crust; sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips over top. Drizzle with chocolate syrup. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours. Slice into 10 pieces and serve. Now drift off into creamy, chocolatey, peanut buttery goodness!

Serving size = 1 slice (1/10 of pie)
One serving = 7 Weight Watchers Points (*5 Weight Watchers Points if using the peanut butter substitution mentioned above).
