How to Make the BEST Caramel Snickers Candy Bar Pie

  • Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Caramel Snickers Candy Bar Pie: 9 inch graham cracker crust, dulce de leche, shopped Snickers candy bars, whipped topping i.e. Cool Whip, plain cream cheese, semi sweet chocolate chips, heavy cream and chopped salted peanuts.
  • Kitchen tools you’ll need: Hand mixer or stand mixer, large bowl, small microwave safe bowl, measuring cups and spoons, sharp knife and cutting board.
  • The filling of this pie gets it’s sweet caramel flavor from dulce de leche.  Dulce de leche is a luscious thick caramel that’s made as a result of caramelizing and reducing sweetened condensed milk. It’s available in most grocery stores in the Hispanic foods section in a small can that looks like sweetened condensed milk. You can also find it at World Market and specialty foods stores like Williams Sonoma.
  • You can use semi sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips for the chocolate ganache to drizzle on top.
  • You can use neufchatel cream cheese in place of full fat cream cheese and light whipped topping for cut calories.
  • Using a premade graham cracker crust is deliberate to keep this preparation for this pie simple. You can certainly make your own, if preferred.
  • To make a homemade Graham Cracker Crust: Combine 1 1/2 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup melted butter in a small bowl. Mix together then press firmly onto the bottom and sides of a 9 inch deep dish pie pan. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 8-10 minutes or just until set. Cool completely before filling.
  • Chopped candy bars make fantastic mix-ins for baked goods, too. Whether it’s Snickers Bar Blondies or Peanut Butter Snickers Cookies, they provide just the right amount of chewy texture.
  • Store Caramel Snickers Candy Bar Pie chilled in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can qalso freeze this pie for up to 2 months.
