Snickers pie!
Hot Mess Nutella Snickers Pie!!! A creamy Nutella filling loaded with crushed peanuts and mini chocolate chips and topped with peanuts, whipped cream and bits of Snickers! This no bake pie is dessert heaven! From the cookbook, No-Bake Treats by Julianne Bayer.
I’m home! To say I had a full week last week is an understatement. I’m not superstitious but I do believe when bad things happen, they happen in 3’s. Last week before I left for NYC, my husband Paul was driving home late and a deer came out of no where and hit the car. Paul stopped immediately and got out of the car and the deer got up and ran off. Thank you God it was ok. I’m praying the deer wasn’t hurt too badly. Makes me so sad. I’ve never even seen deers anywhere close to our house before.
Then, the first day I was in NYC. . I spilled coffee all over my laptop. I always have to have coffee in the morning and I didn’t want to venture out in NYC at 6am to get coffee, so I ordered room service. The coffee comes in a carafe/pitcher/coffee pot type thing and I was going for my 3rd cup. . a little came out and so I – not thinking- tilted the entire thing over and of course, all the coffee came spilling out. All over my beloved laptop.
I freaked. I immediately flipped the thing over and tried to get as much of the coffee as possible with a towel. Then, I left it open and face down for about 30 to 45 minutes and then tried to turn it on. It came on for like a second and then started flashing and then the screen went dead. And so did my heart.
I keep an insane amount of information on my desktop. . I do back up stuff periodically to our icloud and server but don’t remember the last time I did that. Long story short, I found a place in NYC that was able to get all the data and stuff off my hard drive! So, the day was saved. Or, so I thought.
That same day, while I was in an uber heading over to the Apple place to fix my laptop, I get a call from my kids’ elementary school. Madeline was hit by a swing during recess and knocked unconscious for 15 seconds.
WHAT?!
It was crazy you guys. You never want to get a call like that, especially when you are hundreds of miles away from your child and can’t get home fast enough. I call my mother to pick up Madeline, I call my husband to go home and take Madeline to the ER. First, it was she was hit in the head, then they think it was the back of her neck. No one really knows what happened. And no adult saw any of this happen. They got the story from a kid or kids watching. I’m going in this morning to say thank you to the staff and assistant principal who helped Madeline and my mother and was so kind and caring. Madeline is absolutely fine and was more shaken up by the whole ordeal. I am so thankful that she is ok.
And according to my counting skills, that’s three things. No more bad things can happen to me or my family!
And because I love you guys, my readers, I’m here today with 3 great things for YOU! First up, this Snickers pie.
This Snickers pie is so crazy delicious. . as a kid, Snickers were actually one of my favorite candy bars so this pie tastes extra delicious for me. This will cure any chocolate cravings and you Nutella lovers will flip over this! It does take some time to make and because it’s no-bake, you need to refrigerate it for 4 to 6 hours, or overnight.
But it’s worth it you guys. It’s so worth it. Just look at this Snickers pie.

Hot Mess Nutella Snickers Pie
Ingredients
FOR THE CRUST:
- 1, 14 oz package Oreos
- 1 stick 8 tbsp butter
FOR THE FILLING:
- 1 package 8 oz, cream cheese softened
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup salted peanuts chopped
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
FOR THE TOPPING:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 peanuts
- 1/4 cup salted caramel
- 2/3 Snickers chopped
Instructions
FOR THE CRUST:
- Prepare a 9 inch springform pan by lightly greasing the edges of the pan with cooking spray, then wiping gently with a paper towel.
- Grind the cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or blender. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the butter for 45 to 60 seconds until the butter is melted. In a separate medium-size bowl, pour the melted butter into the cookie crumbs and stir until there are no dry crumbs left. Pour the crumbs into the pan and press firmly into the bottom and up the sides to create a thick crust.
FOR THE FILLING:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese at low speed for 30 seconds with the whisk attachment to eliminate any lumps. Increase the speed to medium and slowly start adding the heavy whipping cream, about 1/4 cup at a time. The idea is to slowly add the heavy whipping cream so that the cream cheese will not be lumpy. It should resemble a liquid consistency. Once all of the heavy cream has been added, increase the speed to high until the mixture becomes bubbly. Slowly add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Turn off the mixer and spoon the Nutella into the mixing bowl. Beat the Nutella into the whipped cream slowly at first, and once it starts to mix increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 30 seconds or until stiff peaks form again.
- Fold the chopped peanuts and mini chocolate chips into the batter with a spatula, and pour the filling into the prepared crust. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.*
FOR THE TOPPING:
- Prepare the whipped cream by placing the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to chill. Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl and use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until the cream get bubbly. Slowly add the powdered sugar and continue beating on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Remove the sides of the springform pan. Sprinkle the top of the pie with peanuts and drizzle on some of the caramel. Pipe the whipped cream in a large circular motion, creating 10 or so peaks of whipped cream near the edge of the pie. Chop the snickers bars into smaller pieces, placing a small piece of each whipped cream peak, and then pile the remaining snickers in the middle of the pie. Drizzle with the remaining caramel. I suggest freezing this for 20-30 minutes before slicing. This will help ensure a cleaner slice. Also, I suggest using a clean, sharp knife to cut.

First of all, welcome home! Despite the scary occurrences, I’m glad that you’ve been having wonderful weeks overall – hope all stays well now! And here’s my giveaway comment = I want to win this cookbook because I’m trying to continue improving my baking skills – this cookbook would greatly enable me to do so.
Thank you so much, Liz!!!
Ugh sounds like you had quite a week, Alice! I’m so glad your daughter is ok! And I breathed a sigh of relief for you when your laptop was recovered. I’ve had mine crash before and it’s the WORST! So glad you made this pie for Monday. It looks SO good, especially because it has lots of Nutella!
Wow! What a week you had! Let’s just hope that it’s all good from here, right? You must have been so scared when you heard about your daughter! Glad she is doing well!!
This pie looks unbelievably good, though, Alice. Love the name ‘hot mess’….super cute and I bet it tastes amazing. Cheers to a wonderful, stress free, calm week 🙂
OMG Alice! What a week! I believe in the same superstition, so things should be looking up! This Nutella snickers pie looks incredible!
Oh my goodness! What a crazy week, Alice! But thank God everything all kind of turned out okay in the end… the deer got up and your husband was ok, you got the data off your laptop, and M was shaken but okay! All three of those things could have turned out a lot worse, and when bad things happen it’s easy to overlook the positive. Anyways, this pie is amaze-balls (and I love the name of it)! This looks fabulous and so does Julianne‘s new cookbook! Cheers, Alice – to a MUCH better week!! <3
oh my! nutella + snickers? I want!! looks delicious! Looks like you had a crazy week Alice, yeah sometimes it’s just not our day! I am glad everything is okay now, take care.
Oh my word Alice — that is so scray! I’m so glad she’s okay! I can just imagine what you were feeling 🙁 I’m so glad that things are looking up and this pie looks AMAZING! Love Julianne’s book!

That is so terrifying as a parent to get that call! I’m so glad she’s okay.
I’d love to win this cookbook because I love cooking and baking but doing those things makes my house a furnace 😑
I don’t think this looks like a mess at all – it looks amazing. Any kind of dessert with Nutella AND Snickers in is good with me.
I’m so happy Madeline is alright! So scary when you can’t get to your child, I would’ve been having a nutty!! Awkward segue….. no bake desserts are so fun! And always make people go WOW! 🙂
What a crazy series of events! Sending luck your way. I would love to win this book. I love nutella and snickers, but.no bake treats are right up my alley lately being pregnant and not wanting to do as much intense baking, but still craving allllll the sweets!
I’d like to win because I love to bake but recently moved to San Diego where it’s 10x hotter if I have my oven on so therefore I fore go baking… 😩
Yikes you had quiet a week. My weekend consisted of a blow out on our car leaving us having to walk 5 miles to the next town to see if we can use a phone for one of our family members to help us our phones happened to die on us we were out of town getting lady minute wedding items. Our day was the worst glad all is okay with your daughter. My comments for the give away would be—> I’m getting married November the 5th I love baking and trying new things this would be awesome to have for me to bake something different for my husband to be and in laws! Especially since my schedule is always busy I can make pop in the freezer and go. Thank you.
Oh my gosh I agree, I believe in the threes too. Yikes! So sorry dear but you are in the clear now. Glad Paul, M, Deer and laptop harddrive were all okay. This pie though? I will eat all of it to feel better if it was my week lol 🙂
I love to bake and am home on maternity leave with a 6 week old.. Between trying to get him to nap and eat and take care of myself I have been trying to get in the kitchen some more but time is never on my side! This cookbook would help immensely with not having to bake the sweet treats I crave!! Glad I stumbled across your blog as I will be checking back for more great recipes!

I would love to win it for my daughter. She recently moved away and has started to cook on her own..not great with the oven just yet so this would be perfect! P.s. So sorry to hear about your bad luck..especially your daughter. Never a good thing when a chld goes unconscious. Thankfully she is okay.☺
Oh my gosh, I don’t even know where to start. I’m so glad Madeline is ok! I can’t believe you had to deal with that while you were out of town, how terrifying. But the pie looks like a perfect way to soothe the soul.
Thanks so much, Jen!! yeah, I was a wreck when I got the phone call. . but thankful my mother and husband were there with her shortly after she got hit.
I have a serious sweet tooth and love a variety of desserts. I like the idea of no bake treats, especially during the summer months when its too hot to run the oven!
The pie recipe looks divine.
So glad I found you on IG and now your blog. I print out pretty much all your recipes. Your recipes are a great balance between healthy and real. I have hungry teens drop by our house for snacks all the time. Being able to make no bake treats to have available would be great!

Can’t wait to give this a try, Alice – it looks like a hot mess of deliciousness!
