Place jars on a baking sheet and bake for 6 minutes. Cool completely before filling. Make the filling: 4.Beat cream cheese until smooth, add sugars and beat again. Mix in peanut butter and vanilla until incorporated. 5.In a separate bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Add 1 cup of the whipped cream to the peanut butter mixture, mix briefly at low speed. Then use a rubber spatula to fold the mixture together completely. Refrigerate remaining whipped cream. Assemble the pies: 6.Sprinkle a little of the chopped butterfinger candy bar onto each crust. Divide filling among jars and sprinkle with remaining candy bar. Chill jars for at least 2 hours or overnight. Top with a dollop of whipped cream before serving.

Steps:

• Make the preferred pie crust recipe.
• Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Using the ring from the jar lid, cut 8 circles from the dough, the circles will be the tops of your pies. Line each 1/2-pint glass, oven-safe jar with the remaining dough. Working with the dough as little as possible, make sure that the dough is pressed tightly against the entire surface area of the jar with the exception of 1/2-inch at the top.
• Once each jar is lined with pie dough, fill with 1/2 cup preferred pie filling.
• Top each pie with the pie dough circles or create a lattice pattern or crumb topping to go on top. Make sure you vent the top of the crust by creating a slit so that steam can escape. Using your fingers, or a fork, press the 2 pieces of dough together.
• Brush each pie crust with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Seal each jar with metal lid and place in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.
• If baking pies fresh, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If baking pies that have been frozen, bring them to room temperature before placing in the oven
