No-Bake Snickers Bar Pie is a quick, no-oven dessert that combines chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel flavors with crunchy Snickers pieces folded into a creamy filling. It’s an easy crowd-pleaser whenever you crave something rich and chocolatey.

No-Bake Snickers Bar Pie Ingredients

You will need:

  • 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup chunky peanut butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 3.4 ounces cheesecake instant pudding mix
  • 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed and divided
  • 9 full-size Snickers candy bars

Substitutions and Additions

Crust: If you prefer, use an Oreo crust or a chocolate graham cracker crust for a richer chocolate base.

Topping: Finish the pie with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts for extra texture. You can also add mini chocolate chips or graham cracker crumbs for variety.

How to Make This No-Bake Snickers Bar Pie

Pro tip: Make this pie ahead of time so it has plenty of chill time to set and develop flavor.

Step One: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, chunky peanut butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and fully combined. Room-temperature cream cheese mixes more easily and prevents lumps.

Step Two: Add the cheesecake instant pudding mix and beat until incorporated.

Step Three: With the mixer running, slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream and continue beating until the mixture is light and slightly thickened.

Step Four: Gently fold half of the thawed Cool Whip into the peanut butter mixture until fluffy and evenly combined.

Step Five: Chop six of the Snickers bars into bite-size pieces and carefully fold them into the filling. Fold gently to keep the candy pieces intact.

Step Six: Spoon the filling into the 9-inch graham cracker crust, smoothing the top into a mound.

Step Seven: Use the remaining Cool Whip to pipe or spread decorative topping on the pie. Arrange the remaining chopped Snickers bars on top as desired.

Step Eight: Sprinkle chopped peanuts, graham cracker crumbs, mini chocolate chips, or drizzle with caramel for a finishing touch.

Step Nine: Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before slicing and serving. Chilling helps the filling set and the flavors meld.

How to Serve

Serve slices of this pie that truly evoke a Snickers bar—creamy peanut butter filling, chocolate and caramel notes, and crunchy candy bits. For an extra indulgence, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or an extra drizzle of caramel on each plate.

Storage

In the fridge: Store the covered pie in the refrigerator. It’s best enjoyed within 1–2 days for optimal texture and flavor.

In the freezer: Freezing is not recommended because the creamy filling can change texture and become watery when thawed.

This no-bake Snickers Bar Pie is an easy, impressive dessert for gatherings or a special treat at home. With minimal effort and no oven required, it delivers the classic combo of chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel in every bite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze Snickers pie?

This pie does not freeze well; the creamy filling can lose its texture during thawing.

Can I use an Oreo crust?

Yes. An Oreo cookie crust or a chocolate graham cracker crust works nicely instead of a traditional graham crust.

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Absolutely. Making it the night before gives the filling time to set and the flavors time to meld.
