This easy-to-make pie requires no baking (except for the crust) and is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. Let’s gather the ingredients you’ll need to create this delicious treat.

Ingredients

• 1-½ Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs: Forms the base of the pie crust.
• ¼ Cup Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness to the crust.
• 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Melted: Binds the graham cracker crumbs together.
• 8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened: Provides a creamy texture to the filling.
• 1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter: Adds a rich peanut butter flavor.
• ½ Cup Powdered Sugar: Sweetens the filling.
• 1 (3.4oz) Box Cheesecake Instant Pudding Mix: Enhances the cheesecake flavor.
• 1-½ Cups Heavy Whipping Cream: Adds lightness and volume to the filling.
• 8 ounces Frozen Whipped Topping, softened, divided: Adds a light, airy texture to the pie.
• 1 Cup Chopped Snickers Bar Candy + Extra to decorate: Provides the signature Snickers flavor and texture.

Instructions

Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2:

In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well using a spoon until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 3:

Press the mixture into a 9" round pie dish. Use your fingers or the back of a flat measuring cup to press it evenly and firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the dish.

Step 4:

Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.

Step 5:

In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until creamy and well combined.

Step 6:

Add the cheesecake instant pudding mix and continue mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 7:

With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 8:

Add 4 ounces (half) of the softened whipped topping and fold it in using a spatula.

Step 9:

Fold in 1 cup of chopped Snickers Bar candy.

Step 10:

Spoon the mixture into the cooled pie crust and smooth it out using an offset spatula.

Step 11:

Cover the pie with cling wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours to allow it to set.

Step 12:

Remove the plastic wrap and decorate the pie with the remaining whipped topping and extra chopped Snickers Bars before serving.

Serving and Storage Tips

• Serve the No Bake Snickers Pie chilled for the best flavor and texture.
• For a decorative touch, drizzle some melted chocolate or caramel sauce over the top before adding the chopped Snickers Bars.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Helpful Notes

• Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to ensure a smooth filling.
• You can substitute the graham cracker crust with an Oreo cookie crust for a different flavor profile.
• If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer for the filling.

Tips from well-known chefs

• Chef Ina Garten suggests using high-quality peanut butter for the best flavor.
• Chef Alton Brown recommends chilling the pie overnight for a firmer texture.
• Chef Nigella Lawson advises adding a pinch of sea salt to the filling for a subtle contrast to the sweetness.
