Ingredients

Units Scale

Crust

  • 20-ounce package chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed to fine crumbs (about 43 cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling and Topping

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip, at room temperature (fat free recommended)
  • Heaping 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or honey roasted peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • About 1 cup Snickers, diced small
  • About 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray and set aside. Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then stir in the cookie crumbs until combined. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, Cool Whip, peanut butter, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
  3. Add Sugar: Slowly add the confectioners’ sugar while mixing on low speed to prevent sugar from flying, then increase speed to medium-high and beat until smooth and fully incorporated, about 2 more minutes.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Spread the filling evenly over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the diced Snickers evenly over the filling, then drizzle the salted caramel sauce evenly over the top.
  5. Chill and Set: Cover the pie with clingwrap or foil to protect from freezer odors and place in the freezer for at least 3 hours or overnight to set properly.
  6. Serve: When ready to serve, allow the pie to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes for easy slicing. Carefully remove the springform ring and cut into slices.

Notes

  • Recipe can be made up to 1 week in advance.
  • Pie stores well covered in the freezer for about 2 months or in the refrigerator for about 10 days.
  • Using a springform pan is recommended for easy removal; a 9-inch square pan may also work.
  • Do not use a traditional pie plate as it is too shallow for this deep-dish pie.
  • Natural or homemade peanut butter is not recommended as it may separate.
  • The filling does not freeze solid; it remains creamy and easy to slice after chilling.
