This Cookie Pie is a huge blondie in a crust with so many kinds of candy baked in! It is the best way to use up leftover candy that you have laying around the house. Whatever you’ve got, I promise it will go great in this recipe!
Candy Bar Pie
I like to say that this is the best in-between recipe for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Whether you trick or treat, or didn’t get enough trick or treaters–we will always have extra candy. And it is so perfect that a pie holiday comes shortly after!
This pie is not a typical pie, but the center is a cookie (or blondie) that is just as delicious as any other pie recipe. The candy adds another layer of greatness that is needed for this blondie pie. Use Peanut Butter Cups, M&Ms, Snickers, or really anything else of your choosing and you got yourself a candy bar pie!
Ingredients Needed
- Pie Crust: From a pack of two or homemade pie crust.
- Brown Sugar: Always remember to pack your brown sugar! This makes a gooey soft blondie.
- Unsalted Butter: You can substitute salted; just omit added salt.
- Candy Bars: Any combination of candy to suit your needs! I used M&Ms and a bunch of mini candy bars I had – but you can use peanut butter cups or Kit Kats or anything!
How to make Blondie Pie
- Cream brown sugar and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or you can use a hand mixer). Add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. Add baking powder, salt, and flour and mix.
- If you are using a stand mixer, add your candy bars to the bowl and mix on medium-high to chop of the candy. (The strength of the mixer is enough to break up soft pieces of candy, like Reese’s or Rolos.) If you’re using a hand mixer, coarsely chop the candy, the mix it into the dough.
- Press into prepared pan (dough is sticky, spray your hands with cooking spray to avoid it sticking to your hands). Press some remaining candy on the top for decoration. Press the sides of the crust that are showing with the tines of a fork a few times.
- Bake for about 24-30 minutes, until the crust is browned and the top of the pie is golden. It may still be a little jiggly in the center. Cool completely before cutting. Serve by itself or with whipped cream or ice cream.
Expert Tips
- Tent the top with foil if you notice it browning too fast.
- Give the pie time to cool before slicing so it can hold its shape!
- Add extra candy, whipped cream, or ice cream on top!

This looks amazing!! My aunt makes a candy bar pizza and uses leftover Halloween candy. This pie is making me crave it though so I might make it earlier this year!
Hehe, you are too funny Dorothy! I think you definitively deserve a second fridge! Sometimes I feel like we need one too! I have food stuffed in random places all around our little apartment! This candy bar pie is genius. I need to try your blondie recipe – it is sooo goooey and perfect!
Good Lord this looks amazing. I had to chuckle at your #firstworldproblems. At our house in Ohio we had a fridge in the house, and outside we had a small fridge (for drinks and popsicles, LOL) and a deep freezer. At our new house we only have a small fridge..no deep freezer. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE> Mainly because my kids whine that I never buy frozen pizza or popsicles. Ain’t nobody got room for that!!
This looks amazing! Blondies in a pie form with candy is definitely going to be this seasons hot new trend, surely after this recipe. Pinned and loving the fork! 😀 x
