Submitted by Sheryle on November 02, 2004 at 8:21 am

1 unbaked 9-inch piecrust
5 Snickers candy bars (2.07 ounces each)
1/2 cup sugar
4 small packages cream cheese, softened (3 ounce each)
2 eggs
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons heavy cream
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place the pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan and bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until very light golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees.

Meanwhile, cut the candy bars in half lengthwise, then into 1/4 inch pieces*. Place the candy bar pieces over the bottom of the partially baked crust.

In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cream cheese; beat until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the sour cream and peanut butter, beating until the mixture is smooth. Pour over the candy bar pieces.

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the center is set. Cool completely.

When the pie is cooled, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until very warm. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips. Stir until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. Spread over the top of the cooled pie.

Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours before serving. Store in the refrigerator.

*I prefer using chopped candy bars instead of the small pieces. I store the candy bars in the refrigerator until ready to use. Cut candy bars in half and place in the bowl of a food processor, pulse until crumbly.
