Ingredients

• 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 20 crushed Oreos)
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup caramel sauce
• 4 Snickers bars, chopped
• Extra caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)

Directions

1. Start by mixing the chocolate cookie crumbs with the melted butter until it’s well combined. Press this mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and chill it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold this whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until well incorporated.
4. Now, spread half of this creamy filling into the chilled cookie crust. Drizzle a generous amount of caramel sauce over it before adding the remaining filling. Smooth out the top for a nice finish.
5. Sprinkle the chopped Snickers bars over the top, then chill the pie for at least 2 hours or, even better, overnight so the flavors meld beautifully.
6. Just before serving, feel free to drizzle with extra caramel sauce for that added touch of sweetness!

How to Serve Snickers Pie

Serve Snickers Pie chilled, straight from the refrigerator. You can cut it into slices and serve it on dessert plates. Drizzle extra caramel sauce on top before serving for an added touch of sweetness and a beautiful presentation.

Tips to Make Snickers Pie
