Prepare Filling
In a mixing bowl, I beat 8 oz softened cream cheese, ½ cup peanut butter, and ¾ cup powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes, for this No-Bake Snickers Pie.
Fold in Mix-Ins
I gently fold in 8 oz Cool Whip and 2½ chopped Snickers bars, reserving ½ bar for topping, until evenly combined.
Assemble Pie
I spread the mixture evenly into the 9-inch pre-made crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Add Toppings
I drizzle ¼ cup caramel sauce and ¼ cup chocolate sauce over the pie. I sprinkle the remaining ½ chopped Snickers bar and ¼ cup chopped peanuts (if using) on top.

I chill the No-Bake Snickers Pie in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours until firm. I serve cold, with extra caramel or chocolate drizzle if desired.
