Notes
Helpful Notes and Tips
- Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth, creamy filling.
- Gentle Folding: Fold the whipped topping in gently to retain the light, airy texture of the filling.
- Candy Bar Garnish: Add the chopped Butterfinger pieces just before serving to keep them crunchy. If you add them too early, they may soften in the filling.
