Snickers Bar Pie

When asked what he wanted for his birthday cake, my husband quickly responded with Snickers Pie. Apparently he had this at our neighbor's Christmas Eve party and had been planning to request it for his birthday.

I did a quick Google search and then called my neighbor to confirm this was the same recipe that my husband had eaten. I must confess that this is not something I would have normally made. It is basically a mixture of peanut butter, confectioners sugar, Cool Whip and chopped up snickers bars poured into an Oreo cookie shell.

This may have been the first time in my life I've ever bought Cool Whip. The recipe was very easy to make. I let it sit in the fridge over night to cool. I wish that the filling had hardened some but I guess refrigerated Cool Whip stays pretty soft. Nevertheless, it cut easily.

The boys all LOVED the pie - including the birthday boy. I found it cloyingly sweet and didn't care for the too mushy texture. I feel the need to give it 4 stars as everyone but me seems to love this darn pie. In fact, the recipe makes enough for 2 pies so we have plenty for tomorrow as well. I don't need another piece.
