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 peanut butter nougat and is 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!
Peanut Butter Snickers Pie is a brownie pie with peanut butter nougat, caramel, peanuts and tons of chocolate flavor. You will absolutely love it!
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.
Variations
- You can use any kind of pie crust you want: homemade or store bought.
- To make a no bake pie use a graham cracker crust, Oreo crust, or peanut butter cookie crust.
- Make it semi-homemade with a small pouch of brownie mix (the kind written for a 9×9-inch pan).
- For extra decoration, top these with chopped snickers bars.
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.
Storage
Snickers pie does not need to be refrigerated, but loosely cover it and store on the counter for up to a few days. Wrap the pie well with plastic wrap and you can freeze it (or leftover slices) for a few months.

Did you use a regular or deep dish pie crust?
Regular pie crust (9-inch pie plate)
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.
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.
