This Snickers Pie takes all the incredible elements of a Snickers bar and turns it into this masterpiece! It starts with a moist brownie, then has a layer of nougat and is finally topped with peanuts and caramel. Can’t get any better than that!

Peanut Butter Snickers Pie Recipe

Pies like this one combine so many flavors that work so well together and I’m obsessed with them. It’s like the ultimate dessert mashup! This is a brownie pie with peanut butter Snickers flavors: nougat, caramel, and peanuts. This pie uses my favorite all butter pie crust, but you can get a store-bought version too if you’d like!

Don’t skip over this rich, indulgent and delicious pie during the holidays because when you do try it, you’ll regret not having it sooner!

Ingredients Needed

  • Pie Crust: Use my all butter pie crust or a refrigerated or frozen crust.
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Cocoa is how the brownies get their chocolate flavor. You can also use dark cocoa or Dutch Process.
  • Marshmallow Fluff and Peanut Butter: creates the nougat center reminiscent of a Snickers.
  • Caramel, Peanuts, and Hot Fudge – make that crunchy snickers-like topping.

How to make The Best Snickers Pie

  • Stir melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir in cocoa, flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Pour over crust in a 9-inch pie plate and bake on a cookie sheet at 350°F until baked through.
  • Stir together peanut butter and fluff in a large bowl.
  • Spread evenly over brownie layer.
  • Heat caramels and milk in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Once the caramel is all melted together, stir in the peanuts and spread over the fluff mixture.
  • Warm your jar of hot fudge sauce in the microwave and drizzle over pie.

Expert Tips

  • Let the brownie cool before completing the rest of the pie.
  • You know your brownie pie is done baking when a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Warm up the hot fudge so it’s a drizzle consistency.
  • Let the pie cool before slicing as well so it can hold its shape.

  1. My husband requested this pie for Valentine’s Day dessert after I saw it in a social media video. After eating it, he told me it was “10 out of 10, no notes.”

    I did make one change to the recipe as provided by using Marzetti caramel dip as it comes to mix with the peanuts instead of melting solid caramels with milk. I would imagine that the result is the same and if anything was different, my version may have had slightly thinner caramel consistency.

    If I make this again, I will bake the brownie layer a bit longer or par cook the crust for a few minutes before adding the brownie mix as the pie crust and brownie layer were not fully cooked after the 25 minutes indicated as a base cooking time.

  2. Does the pie crust for the snickers pie need to be baked before the rest of the ingredients are added? Sorry. I love to bake but haven’t used a pie crust in so long

    1. Fill the pie with brownie batter and bake as directed on the package – I think different ones have different instructions about thawing vs frozen baking, so be sure to check the pie crust package.

    1. Yes – but use one made for a 9×9 pan size (usually they come in pouches instead of a box). If using a 9×13 pan box, don’t use all of the batter.

    2. Not sure if you shop @Aldi, but they have a really good brownie mix and it is so inexpensive. I buy them all the time and put Hershy bar pieces all across the batter before I bake it. So good. For a 9×13 pan, I use 3 full bars and just space them on top.
