How to Make No-Bake Snickers Bar Pie

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the texture resembles damp sand. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides.

Use a measuring cup or the back of a spoon to pack it down. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Make the Snickers Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Gently fold in the whipped topping, then stir in the chopped Snickers bars, reserving a handful for garnish.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

Spread the Snickers filling evenly over the chilled crust. Sprinkle the reserved Snickers and chopped peanuts on top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Just before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
