How to Make Candy Bar Freezer Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press three-fourths of the crumb mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 inch baking dish.
  4. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the pudding layer.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  6. Gently fold in the softened butter pecan ice cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Spread the ice cream mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
  8. Spoon the thawed whipped topping evenly over the ice cream layer.
  9. Combine the remaining crumb mixture with the chopped Butterfinger candy bar.
  10. Sprinkle the candy bar crumb topping evenly over the whipped topping layer.
  11. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
  12. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set completely.
