Gather round your family and friends for this Cookies and Cream Butterfinger Easter Trifle recipe!
The birds are chirping. Daffodils are blooming. My car is coated in pollen. Which all mean one things. It’s SPRING! Anyone else doing the happy dance? Plus a little extra sneezing? Comes with the territory.
Since I’m fortunate enough to live in the South (what’s wrong with the rest of you?), we’re coming out from hibernation. It’s time for get-togethers with family and friends. Kick back and relax in the back yard. And get ready for some Easter Egg Hunting! It’s kind of a big deal in my house with three children under 6.
During my most recent shopping trip, I stumbled across the Easter Candy aisle. Just dangerous. Dangerous, I tell you.
I went a little nuts, and decided – why wait for Easter? It’s time to celebrate spring! So, I rang up my friends and family and had everyone over for a celebration of spring. Yup. True story.
Hello. Yumminess. My kids were over the moon to learn that their two favorite things: sweet treats and friends were part of the evening!
Now, I can’t ever pass up anything Butterfinger. I come by this obsession honestly. (Mom, it’s all your fault.) So, I thought it would be fun to dress up my regular Easter Trifle with this over-the-top Butterfinger Trifle dessert.
Layers of vanilla pudding and golden sandwich cookies, with white chocolate pudding and chocolate sandwich cookies, and of course – Butterfinger Nest Eggs. Super easy to make – but very impressive, don’t ya think?

That Butterfinger Easter Trifle look so good! I don’t blame your husband either. Thanks #client
Hah! Thanks! 🙂
Oh this is totally for me! I may have to make it for Easter!
Do you remove the filling in the sandwich cookies or crush the whole thing?
Just crush the whole thing. I’m too lazy to remove the filling! 😉
