- Crush Carefully: For the best texture, crush Butterfinger bars into varied sizes - some fine crumbs and some small chunks for extra crunch.
- Chill Thoroughly: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to set completely and develop the best flavor.

- Serving Suggestion: Let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for the most creamy texture.
