Snicker's Pie

Ingredients:

1 pie crust

Filling:

5 Snickers plus one more for garnishing if desired
12 oz cream cheese, softened (not low fat)
1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
1/3 c sour cream
1/3 c creamy peanut butter

Topping:

3 T whipping cream
2/3 c milk chocolate chips

Directions:
Heat oven to 450*. Place pie crust in 9-inch glass pie plate. Weight bottom with weights, rice or beans to prevent shrinkage of crust. Bake 5-7 minutes or until very light golden brown. Cool. Reduce oven temperature to 325*

Cut candy bars in half lengthwise and then slice at 1/4" intervals. Place candy bar pieces over bottom of partially-baked crust. In small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in 1 egg at a time until well blended. Add sour cream and peanut butter, blending until mixture is smooth. Pour over candy bar pieces. Bake at 325* 30-40 minutes until mixture is set. Cool completely.

In a 1-quart saucepan, heat whipping cream until very warm. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate pieces until melted and smooth. Spread over top of pie. Refrigerate 2-3 hours before serving. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.

Comments:
This is essentially a peanut butter cheesecake with Snicker's bars in it. The original recipe calls for a refrigerated pie crust, but I've always had better luck making my own.

Additional Comments:
Sunni Blake - This was a great recipe, and I normally don't even like cheesecake. I ended up cutting my Snicker's bars into quarters, but next time I think I'll cut them into 1/8 segments to make it easier to slice/cut when serving.
