No-Bake Snickers Bar Pie Ingredients
You will need:
- 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 3.4 ounces cheesecake instant pudding mix
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces cool whip, thawed and divided
- 9 full-size Snickers candy bars
Substitutions and Additions
CRUST: An Oreo crust or a chocolate graham cracker crust would also be a good choice in this no-bake Snickers pie.
TOPPING: You could also add caramel sauce drizzle over the top. We added some chopped peanuts along with the Snickers pieces as well.
How to Make This No-Bake Snickers Bar Pie Recipe
PRO TIP: This is a great recipe to make ahead of time so that it has plenty of time to chill in the fridge before serving.
STEP ONE: In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until fully combined.
PRO TIP: Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t end up with lumps in the cream cheese mixture.
STEP TWO: Beat in the cheesecake pudding mix.
STEP THREE: Slowly pour in heavy cream while continuing to beat with the hand mixer.
STEP FOUR: Fold ½ of the cool whip into the peanut butter mixture until fluffy and combined.
STEP FIVE: Chop 6 of the Snickers bars into bite-size pieces and fold into the peanut butter mixture.
PRO TIP: Be very gentle when you are folding in the Snickers as you don’t want to break up the pieces of the chocolate bar.
STEP SIX: Transfer the pie filling into the graham cracker crust and smooth the top into a mound.
STEP SEVEN: Use the remaining cool whip to pipe decorations on the top of the pie and decorate with the remaining candy bars as desired.
STEP EIGHT: Sprinkle with chopped peanuts, graham cracker crumbs, a drizzle of caramel, or mini chocolate chips.
STEP NINE: Chill for at least 3 hours before cutting and serving.
PRO TIP: Do not skip the chilling time as you need time for all the flavors to mingle and the filling to set before you enjoy this dreamy pie.
