Ingredients
Crust
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 whole crackers)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup salted butter, melted
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)
Toppings
- Chopped peanuts (optional)
- Caramel sauce (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup melted salted butter. Mix until the texture resembles damp sand. Alternatively, you can use a pre-made crust if desired.
- Form the Crust: Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie pan, pushing it up the sides evenly. Use your fingers or the bottom of a flat measuring cup or glass to pack the crumbs firmly together to create a solid base.
- Chill the Crust: Place the pie pan with the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, ½ cup crunchy peanut butter, and 1 cup powdered sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until smooth and well combined.
- Fold in Whipped Topping and Snickers: Gently fold in 8 ounces of thawed whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture, followed by the chopped Snickers bars, reserving some pieces for garnish.
- Assemble the Pie: Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust. Garnish the top with the reserved Snickers pieces and chopped peanuts if desired.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 3 hours to allow it to firm up properly.
- Serve: Before serving, drizzle caramel sauce over the top for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- You can substitute the graham cracker crust with a pre-made crust for convenience.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to prevent lumps in the filling.
- Chilling the pie for at least 3 hours is crucial for the filling to set and hold shape when sliced.
- For extra texture, add more chopped peanuts on top alongside the Snickers pieces.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
