No-Bake Deep-Dish Peanut Butter Snickers Pie with Salted Caramel

Crust

-ounce package chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed to fine crumbs (I used chocolate-filled Trader Joe’s version of Oreos – 43 cookies in the package; classic Oreos or another chocolate sandwich cookie may be used)

unsalted butter, melted (3/4 of 1 stick)

Filling and Topping

cream cheese, softened (I used Trader Joe’s spreadable light cream cheese; reduced fat or full-fat cream cheese may be used)

Cool Whip, at room temperature (I used Fat Free Cool Whip; reduced fat or full-fat whipped topping may be used)

heaping 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or honey roasted peanut butter (use Jif, Skippy or similar; do not use natural or homemade because it can separate)

vanilla extract

confectioners’ sugar

about 1 cup Snickers, diced small (I used Peanut Butter Squared Snickers; or use your favorite candy)

about 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce, for drizzling (I used Trader Joe’s; use your favorite brand or make Homemade Caramel Sauce)
