ULTIMATE CANDY BAR PIE — With nougat and creamy chocolate layers, and a candy bar crust and topping, this pie really is the ultimate dessert!
When my teenage son saw this Ultimate Candy Bar Pie in one of my cooking magazines, he immediately volunteered to make it himself. We were not disappointed!
There are so many amazing things about this pie, but let’s just start with the crust. It’s made of Butterfinger candy bars! How brilliant is that?
That’s topped off with a layer of candy bar style nougat, made of marshmallow cream and peanut butter.
Then there’s a rich chocolate layer, topped off with a mound of homemade whipped cream. And lots of crushed candy bars to finish everything off.
This pie really was the “ultimate” dessert. I mean, how could you possibly go wrong with all of those delicious layers?
And my son was pretty proud of his creation, to say the least.
As you might expect, this pie is pretty rich. So while you’ll be tempted to take a giant slice, I recommend starting small.
But it keeps for several days in the refrigerator, so you’ll have a chance at another slice.
In fact, you can make this pie up to three days in advance and keep it in the refrigerator until serving. We topped our finished pie with chopped Butterfinger, Snickers, and Kit Kat bars, but feel free to use your favorites.
This pie is one of those showstopper desserts that will impress everyone, but it’s really not that hard to put together. You don’t even need an oven.
If my teenage son can pull it off, so can you! Trust me, you’ll be glad you did, and everyone who gets a slice of this pie will thank you too!
