Recipe: Georgia’s No Bake Snickers Bar Pie

Ingredients:

Crust

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 whole crackers)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup salted butter, melted

Snickers Filling

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup crunchy peanut butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
• 6 full-sized Snickers Bars, chopped (reserve some for topping)
• Chopped peanuts (for topping, optional)
• Caramel sauce (for topping, optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until it resembles damp sand. You can also use a pre-made graham cracker crust for convenience. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure to cover the bottom and sides evenly. Use a flat-bottomed measuring cup or glass to really press the crumbs down, ensuring a firm crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
2. Snickers Filling:
   In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, crunchy peanut butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and well combined. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then, fold in the chopped Snickers bars, making sure to reserve a few pieces for the top.
3. Assemble the Pie:
   Spread the Snickers filling evenly into the chilled graham cracker crust. Top with the reserved Snickers pieces and sprinkle with chopped peanuts, if desired. Cover the pie and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or until the filling is set.
4. Garnish and Serve:
   Just before serving, drizzle the top of the pie with caramel sauce for that extra indulgence. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
