Butterfinger Grape Salad: The Sweet & Crunchy Sensation Your Next Party Needs!
Looking for a dessert that’s both refreshing and indulgent? Say hello to Butterfinger Grape Salad! This isn’t your average fruit salad. We’ve taken juicy, sweet grapes and tossed them in a luscious, creamy dressing, then loaded it with the irresistible crunch and peanut-buttery goodness of Butterfinger candy bars. This sweet grape dessert is incredibly easy to make, making it the perfect easy potluck fruit salad to bring to your next gathering. Get ready for rave reviews – this grape salad with cream cheese and candy is a guaranteed hit!
I recently made Butterfinger Grape Salad to serve at a baby shower and it was a total hit. And best yet, it’s super easy to make!! Start by crushing the Butterfingers into very small pieces. Add the brown sugar and mix together. With an electric mixer beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in approximately one third of the Butterfinger/brown sugar mixture and stir to combine. Add grapes that have been plucked from their stems and rinsed.
In a 9×13 or similarly sized dish add a thin layer of the Butterfinger/brown sugar mixture. Fill the dish with the grapes and top with remaining Butterfinger/brown sugar mix. You can eat this right away, but it’s best if it is made a day ahead and chills in the fridge over night. It gets even better when grapes and the cream cheese mixture get nice and cold and the flavors have time to develop.
Be prepared to be asked for this recipe every time you serve it! It’s the bomb….just sayin 😉
