• Try adding a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce on top for extra indulgence.

FAQs

Can I make this pie completely without baking?

While the filling requires no baking, the crust does need to be baked briefly to set properly. For a fully no-bake version, you could try pressing the crust into the pan and chilling it until firm, but baking improves texture and flavor.

What can I substitute for Snickers bars if I have allergies?

You can use chopped allergies-friendly candy bars, other caramel and nut-filled chocolates, or simply omit them and add extra chopped peanuts or caramel bits for texture.
