This sweet and creamy salad has a delightful balance of flavors. The tangy sour cream and smooth cream cheese provide a rich base, while the sweetness from the grapes and powdered sugar adds a fruity touch. The crushed Butterfingers bring a delicious crunch, with their chocolatey peanut butter flavor adding a unique twist. The optional nuts add an extra layer of texture, but the salad is perfectly enjoyable without them.
Prepare Grapes: Wash and dry the grapes thoroughly and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Make the Creamy Dressing: In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Fold in Whipped Topping: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the grapes and gently fold them to coat the grapes evenly.
Combine with Grapes: Crush the Butterfinger candy bars and sprinkle them, along with the chopped pecans, on top of the salad. Gently fold a few times to incorporate.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve: Serve chilled as a dessert or a sweet side dish!
