No-Bake Snickers Pie

No-bake Snickers pie quickly became my ultimate dessert indulgence after a summer barbecue when I needed something decadent, cool, and easy to prepare so I mixed up a fluffy cream cheese filling, layered it into a chocolatey cookie crust, and topped it with chunks of Snickers bars and a drizzle of caramel sauce and after that first creamy, chocolatey, peanut packed bite I knew it was a showstopper. Now I make it anytime I want to surprise friends or just treat myself to something rich and fun without turning on the oven.

What I love most is how the sweet, creamy filling pairs with the crunchy crust and gooey caramel while the chopped Snickers pieces add a mix of peanuts, nougat, and chocolate in every bite so each forkful feels like a mini celebration. It’s the perfect dessert to make ahead and wow everyone with minimal effort.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
• Chocolate cookie crumbs – Form the delicious, crunchy base.
• Butter – Binds the crust together.
• Cream cheese – Adds tangy creaminess to the filling.
• Powdered sugar – Sweetens the creamy base perfectly.
• Whipped topping – Makes the filling extra light and fluffy.
• Snickers bars – Add caramel, nougat, peanuts, and chocolate layers.
• Caramel sauce – For that irresistible sweet drizzle.
• Extra whipped cream – To top it off and make it extra pretty.

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls – To prepare the crust and the creamy filling.
• Electric mixer – Helps make the filling smooth and airy.
• Spatula – For folding and spreading without deflating.
• 9-inch tart pan or pie dish – To shape your no-bake masterpiece.
• Knife – For chopping Snickers bars.
• Spoon – To drizzle caramel perfectly.

Instructions

Step 1

I start by mixing chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter together until they resemble wet sand.

Step 2

I press this mixture firmly into a 9-inch tart pan or pie dish and pop it in the fridge to set while I prepare the filling.

Step 3

In a large bowl, I beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy.

Step 4

I gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and airy.

Step 5

I spread this creamy filling evenly over the chilled crust.

Step 6

I top the pie with chopped Snickers bars, pressing them lightly into the filling.

Step 7

I drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top and add extra whipped cream if desired.

Step 8

I chill the pie for at least 4 hours or until fully set before slicing and serving.

Tips

If you want even more texture, I suggest adding crushed peanuts on top along with the Snickers pieces. You can also swap in different candy bars for a fun twist or drizzle melted chocolate for an extra rich finish!

Ways to Serve

I love serving no-bake Snickers pie as a chilled dessert on hot days, at potlucks, or as a fun birthday treat. It’s perfect paired with a big glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.
