Peanut Butter Snickers Cheesecake Pie

By srumbel

Since I just stated recently that I prefer no bake cheesecakes, I’m sure that it comes as no surprise that this cheesecake is also no bake. A light, fluffy peanut butter cheesecake acts as the filling to the pie. Chopped Snickers are stirred in and sprinkled on top. To give the cheesecake a bit more of the Snickers flavor, caramel sauce is drizzled over the top of the crust before the filling is added. You could easily swap out chocolate graham crackers for the regular ones to make it even more like a Snickers, but my husband isn’t a fan of chocolate (How is that possible?!), so I went with the honey graham crackers. Either way this cheesecake won’t last long. Quick whip it up in the afternoon and enjoy a decadent dessert for dinner! Your taste buds will thank you.
