Candy Bar Fudge Pie

Candy Bar Fudge Pie – chocolate, caramel and peanut candy bar turned into a pie and topped with creamy whipped cream. Indulge in the most decadent and delicious pie you’ll ever make.

This candy bar fudge pie is a revelation.  Well, I might be taking that statement a bit too far but it was fantastic.  It started with a simple fudge pie recipe that I have loved for years.  It is essentially the chocolate fudge pie recipe from the movie, “The Help”.  I have made this pie for parties at my home and even for my birthday a few years ago when I was going through a no-cake phase (it only lasted two weeks).

I just adore this fudge pie.  The taste reminds me of a fudgy brownie, perfectly chewy and chocolatey, but with a flaky pie crust bottom.  It really is the perfect chocolate pie.

My thought was to see how I could make this pie even more fun.  Immediately candy bars floated around in my mind.  I am not a big eater of candy bars I must confess.  I have a dad for a dentist so I really never gravitated towards them but if there was one I would indulge in every now and again, it would be a Snickers.  First, it has peanuts and that is the only nut I am not allergic to, probably because it is technically a legume and not really a not.  Secondly, I love the peanuts with the gooey caramel and chocolate combo and thought I could add a bit of that flavor to my pie.

I started with my trusty and added a thin layer of caramel sauce with peanuts. Then, topped it with the fudge pie mixture and baked for 50 minutes.  Holy Moly, was this soooo delicious!!!!

With a garnish of fresh whipped cream and chopped candy bar, I was ready to devour this, and you will be too!

If you are fond of this pie, then I’m sure you’ll fall in love with some of my other pie recipes.
