Ever stared at a pile of leftover candy bars and thought, What on earth am I gonna do with these? Last month, a friend handed me her so-called secret SNICKERS PIE RECIPE after I whined about my sweet tooth and lack of motivation to turn on the oven. If you’re like me and your baking skills are, well, questionable but your dessert standards are sky-high, this pie has your name all over it. Seriously. It’s fast, it’s straightforward, and if you can crush cookies and stir stuff, you’ve got this in the bag.
Why You’re Going To Love This Recipe
Let’s just be honest for a second. Cooking in the summer? Not happening at my house. That’s why this no-bake dessert is a total lifesaver. There’s no finicky layering, no skipping six steps ahead… just some mixing, whisking, and a bunch of chocolate. The best part? The whole thing tastes like you picked it up from a fancy five-star restaurant. No joke. People will ask for the “recipe” and expect some kind of elaborate story. (You can claim you slaved if you like. I won’t tell.)
And the flavor… wow. The SNICKERS bars give it that perfect mix of salty, sweet, and a little nutty crunch. It’s rich, creamy, and not too heavy somehow. Plus, you barely need to do any prep. Lazy dessert lovers unite!
This is one of those pies you bring to a party and folks ask, ‘What bakery did you get this from?’ I always smile and say, ‘Oh, it’s just my legendary No-Bake Snickers Pie.’ They never believe how simple it is! — Tammy R.
Ingredients Needed
You don’t need to raid the whole grocery store for this SNICKERS PIE RECIPE. Here’s all you’ll need:
- 1 ready-made chocolate cookie crust (those pre-made ones are lifesavers)
- 6 full-size SNICKERS bars, chopped into pieces (some for the filling, some for the top)
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (the regular kind)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tub (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed (Cool Whip works like a charm)
- Caramel sauce and hot fudge sauce for drizzling (optional but wow, it’s good)
That’s it. No need for a ton of bowls or fancy mixer attachments.
How To Make No Bake Snickers Pie
Honestly, this SNICKERS PIE RECIPE is about as easy as it gets. First, grab your biggest bowl and toss in that cream cheese and peanut butter. Beat them together until smooth. Next, stir in the powdered sugar. It’s gonna look a little thick. That’s perfect.
Fold in the whipped topping nice and gently. It’ll get fluffy and dreamy. Now, here’s where the magic happens—add those chopped SNICKERS bars (save a bit for the top if you want it to look fancy). Mix it all together, then dump the filling into your chocolate crust. Smooth it out, toss on the reserved candy bits, and drizzle caramel and fudge if you’re in the mood to go “extra.”
Now comes the hardest part—chill it in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Seriously, don’t skip this step or it’ll be a mess to slice. Trust me, I learned the hard way. Slice it up and watch everyone fight over the last piece!
How Long Is It Good For?
Alright, so you made this SNICKERS PIE RECIPE… but can it survive a few days? Absolutely. Cover it (plastic wrap does the trick, or tuck it in one of those pie-keeper things), and keep it in the fridge. It’ll stay tasty for up to four days. Honestly, it’s best the next day after those flavors meld a little. Just don’t let it sit out at room temp for too long or it goes weirdly gooey.
If you make it ahead for a party, you’ll love how the crust stays crunchy and the filling stays set. Just remember: cold fridge, happy pie.
Can You Freeze It?
Strange as it sounds, you can freeze this pie, and it works out great. Just wrap it up real tight with foil and toss it in an airtight bag or container. It’ll be good for up to a month, maybe a tad longer if your freezer’s serious business. Thaw it in the fridge overnight—or just eat it a little bit frozen for a sort of ice-box treat.
Be careful, though. Sometimes the SNICKERS chunks get extra chewy once frozen and thawed. I personally kinda enjoy the chew, but if you’ve got sensitive teeth you might wanna let it rest at room temp for a sec before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- Top with extra whipped cream for a cloud-like bite.
- Add a pinch of sea salt over the caramel for a fancy touch.
- Serve with strong coffee or vanilla ice cream.
- Take it to a potluck and watch it disappear—no leftovers, pinky swear.
