Crust
- 1–1/2 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (Melted)
Filling
- 1 (8 Ounce) Block Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 (3.4 Ounce) Box Cheesecake Instant Pudding Mix
- 1–1/2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 8 Ounces Frozen Whipped Topping (softened, divided)
- 1 Cup Snickers Bars (chopped, plus extra for decorating)
- Prepare the Crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and cheesecake instant pudding mix, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold half of the softened frozen whipped topping into the cream mixture gently, then add this to the peanut butter mixture, folding to combine thoroughly.
- Add Snickers Bars: Gently fold in the chopped Snickers bars into the filling mixture, reserving some pieces for garnish.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Top with the remaining softened whipped topping, smoothing it over the surface. Decorate with the reserved chopped Snickers pieces.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to firm up and the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve: Slice and serve chilled, enjoying this decadent no-bake treat perfect for peanut butter and candy lovers.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese and frozen whipped topping are softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- If you prefer a firmer crust, press the crumbs firmly and chill longer before adding filling.
- The pie can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture, if desired.
- For a nut-free version, omit Snickers bars and substitute with allergy-friendly candy pieces.
