Years ago I was served a SNICKERS® Pie in a restaurant in Kentucky when I lived there. The establishment did not want to share the recipe, so I went home and figured it out for myself. The original version of this ice cream based pie was served in a chocolate sandwich cookie crust, but I thought it overpowered the rest of the flavors, so I have opted to make mine with vanilla sandwich cookies. I hope you enjoy this as much as my family and friends have!

Assembly Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. With a food processor or blender, grind the cookies into fine crumbs. In a mixing bowl, toss the cookie crumbs with the melted butter. Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of a 9x13x2 baking pan or two pie pans. Bake the crust for 10 minutes (watch carefully to prevent scorching). Remove the pan(s) from the oven and cool the crust. While the crust is cooling, remove the ice cream from the freezer, open the carton and allow it to soften while the crust cools. When the crust is cool, spread half of the ice cream on the crust in the 9×13 pan, or half that amount in each of the pie pans. Place the pan(s) in the freezer. Chop 1/2 of the SNICKERS® Brand Bars coarsely with a sharp knife. Sprinkle the chopped candy over the ice cream layer. Heat the ice cream toppings in the microwave according to package directions, except reduce the time so that the topping is not boiling hot. You want the topping to be just soft enough to pour from the jar. If you get it too hot it will melt the ice cream too much. Pour half of each topping over the chopped candy layer. Place the pan(s) back in the freezer for a few minutes to allow the topping to set up. Spread the remaining ice cream over the toppings. If the ice cream gets too soft, you can put it back in the freezer between layers. Chop the remaining candy and sprinkle it over the ice cream. Pour remaining toppings over the ice cream. Sprinkle the peanuts evenly over the surface.
Freezing Directions:
Freeze several hours before attempting to serve. Or freeze for later by placing aluminum foil or plastic wrap on top, or placing the pan into a large freezer bag and removing excess air.
Serving Directions:
Before serving, allow the SNICKERS® Pie to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. Cut into squares or wedges, and serve.
