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.
FAQs

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
You just add the brownie batter to the raw crust and it will bake while the brownie does.
Could I make this without the pie crust? My husband is not a fan. Thank you!
Yes make as directed just skip the crust. It might bake faster so check it sooner.
This Snickers Peanut Butter Pie looked SOOoooo good I almost ate my computer!!!!!
If I use a frozen, store bought crust, do I need to thaw it before I get started? Thanks so much!!
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.
Could I use a graham cracker crust instead? Or do you think it wouldn’t work well?
Yes that should work just fine
Do you chill or let set room temp before serving?
I prefer it room temperature so the caramel doesn’t get too hard.
May I ask are these roasted salted pnuts? Or just roasted ?
I just use normal party peanuts but you can use any kind you like!
Could you use a boxed brownie mix instead of making it from scratch?
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.
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.
I love ALDIs brownies!!
