Gluten Free Snickers Pie

Why You’ll Love Snickers Pie

My Snickers pie recipe turns the classic candy bar into a rich and peanut buttery dessert with layers of nutty, chocolatey goodness that make Snickers pie perfect for any occasion. And if you want even more easy pie options, check out my Gluten Free Pecan Pie and Crustless Pumpkin Pie recipes! Here’s why you’ll love this sumptuous treat:

• No baking is required. I love a no-bake dessert! (I even have a whole section on No Bake Desserts if you’re craving more.) This Snickers pie is an ideal summer treat that’s always welcome.
• Packed with layers of flavor. There’s no skimping on Snickers taste here! Chopped candy bars are swirled into the filling plus used as a garnish. And, you can even use this method with other candy if you want to switch things up!
• Keep it easy. Make a homemade crust or use a purchased crust – you do you! This Snickers pie recipe is so easy that anyone can make it, even beginner cooks.

Recipe Ingredients

Here’s a look at what you’ll need for this Snickers pie recipe, along with some ingredient notes and suggestions. Scroll to the recipe card at the end of this post for the full amounts.

• Gluten Free Oreo Cookie Crumbs: You’ll need one package of Oreos, or use 30 of my Gluten Free Oreo Cookies. For tips on how to make the easy Oreo pie crust, you can see my post on how to make a Gluten Free Oreo Crust.
• Butter: Melted, unsalted butter holds the crust together.

For the Filling

• Heavy Cream: Real heavy cream creates a rich base for the filling. And making your own whipped cream versus using a storebought whipped topping gives it a better flavor!
• Cream Cheese: Use full-fat block cream cheese rather than whipped cream cheese for the best results.
• Peanut Butter: Creamy or crunchy peanut butter is fine, depending on how smooth you like your filling.
• Caramel Sauce: My homemade Caramel Sauce or Dulce de Leche recipes work perfectly for this pie!
• Powdered Sugar: Make sure to sift the powdered sugar before adding it to the filling if you find yours is clumpy.
• Snickers Bars: You’ll need about 4 full-size Snickers bars. Fun Size Snickers also work.

For the Topping

• Chocolate Sauce: My Easy Chocolate Glaze is a nice choice here, or use your favorite chocolate sauce.
• Caramel Sauce: Use one of my options above or purchase a jar of caramel sauce.
• Peanuts: I love roasted, salted peanuts!
• Snickers Bars: Chop up another Snickers bar to sprinkle over the top of the pie.

Tips and Variation Ideas

• Crust options: If you don’t need to eat gluten-free, you can make the crust with regular Oreo cookies or you can buy a pre-made crust. Feel free to substitute with a graham cracker crust – my Gluten Free Graham Cracker Crust recipe is super easy to make.
• Try a different candy bar! Or substitute the Snickers with your favorite candy bar to customize your pie however you like.
• Easy topping idea: Use the rest of the container of heavy cream and whip it with a couple of tablespoons of powdered sugar and a splash of vanilla extract, then add a dollop of whipped cream to the top of each slice.
• More topping ideas: Get creative with the toppings and add chopped peanut butter cups or Heath bars, extra chopped peanuts or almonds, or an extra drizzle of Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce.

How to Make Snickers Pie (Step by Step)

Here’s a quick overview of how you’ll make this pie. Put together the crust first so it can set while you make the filling. I’ve included the more detailed instructions in the recipe card.

• Make the crust. Pulse the Oreos into crumbs in a food processor, then mix them with melted butter.
• Add the crust mixture to a pie plate. Press the buttery crumbs into a pie plate.

• Make the filing. Place the heavy cream, cream cheese, peanut butter, caramel sauce, and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Mix on high speed with a mixer until smooth and fluffy.
• Mix in the Snickers. Add the chopped Snickers and fold the candy into the filling.

• Assemble. Spoon the filling into the chilled chocolate crust and smooth the top. To finish, drizzle the pie with chocolate syrup and caramel sauce, sprinkle with peanuts, and add the remaining chopped Snickers.
