Peanut Butter Snickers Cheesecake Brownie Pie: layers of fudgy brownie, peanut butter cheesecake, and whipped topping makes this gooey pie the best dessert.
The past few weeks I have been learning the value to saying no. I usually just can't say no when I am asked to do different projects.
You need 10 matching headbands for a wedding party this coming weekend. Sure I will get right on that. 200 cupcakes for a party you are having. Sure, why not.
Ok, ok, those might be slightly embellished examples, but you get the point right? I don't like to turn down requests for things that I know I can do.
So far in the last 2 weeks, I have said no to 3 large graduation cake orders and a hand picked blog project. It was hard to say no because I know that I can do them.
I knew that I would be so stressed out trying to finish everything while decorating a wedding cake, packing for our family vacation, and making a batch of these No Bake Monster Cookie Dough Bites for the trip.
It really was in my best interest and my family's best interest to not take on that many extra projects.
There were a couple things that I thought long and hard about trying to fit in. I mean when someone hand picks you for a special blog job/project, you want to say yes immediately.
After weighing everything, I knew that I just couldn't put the time and effort into it. The email I got back from my campaign manager saying how impressed she was that I would say no to something like this, reaffirmed to me that saying no to someone or something is ok to do.
Just a little life lesson that I had this weekend that I thought I would share.
Something I couldn't say no to this week though was this pie!!!! Oh, my goodness!
Talk about decadent and delicious! A thick fudge-y pie topped with peanut butter cheesecake that has candy bar chunks in it and a layer of Cool Whip on top of it had my name all over it.
Well, one slice anyway. Remember the lesson in saying no? It really needs to apply to dessert too. I ate way too many of these Ultimate Reese's Cheesecake Brownies the other day too.
It's time to start saying no to the goodness that keeps happening in my kitchen. Well, after one or two bites that is! All in the name of recipe research, right?
Tips for making a Peanut Butter Snickers Cheesecake Brownie Pie:
Set out the pie crust 15 minutes ahead of time, so it will unroll easily.
Unroll the pie crust into a 9 inch pie plate and crimp the edges.
Mix together the brownie mix, oil, water, and egg. Do not follow the box directions. The batter should be very thick and sticky. Spread it in the bottom of the pie crust and bake.
Beat together the cream cheese, peanut butter, and sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat again.
Cut an entire bag of Peanut Butter Snickers bites into quarters and stir them into the cheesecake batter. Spread the mixture on top of the baked brownie and bake it again.
Once the pie has completely chilled top with Cool Whip or homemade whipped topping if that is what you prefer.
Chocolate sprinkles, chocolate curls, or more candy bars are a fun way to dress up the top of the pie.

Taking cake orders sounds like a nightmare to me. Cookies? Brownies? Sure. But cakes?! That sounds SO stressful.
Anyway, this looks awesome! And I've never seen such a clean slice. Nice knife skills. 😉
Jocelyn Brubaker
I would much rather make cupcakes or brownies any day! Thanks...I have learned that a very hot, dry knife works wonders for clean cuts 🙂
Nancy @ gottagetbaked
Holy shizznits, this is the most ridiculously over the top thing I've seen in a long time and I totally mean that in the best possible way! I want this in my belly right now. It's a work of art!
Loretta | A Finn In The Kitchen
Beautiful! And I've never heard of peanut butter Snickers. It might be time to do some investigating...
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thank you!! You definitely need to check them out, they are SO good! 😉

This obviously looks amazing, and most likely tastes amazing too. I want to make it for a party, but I have a friend who can't have peanut butter. When looking at the recipe, it'd be easy to substitute regular twix for the PB twix. However, I'd be worried for the cheesecake part to take out the peanut butter without a substitution. Do you have a suggestion?
Jocelyn Brubaker
They are actually Snickers in the recipe, but yes, any candy bar would work. You can actually leave out the peanut butter and it won't affect the pie at all. Let me know how you like it!
Erin @ Making Memories
Thanks Jocelyn. Well, I made it and it definitely doesn't look as perfect as yours does but MAN OH MAN. This is over the top amazing!!! I'll definitely try to make it again so it's prettier but heck, we don't care. We devoured it!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Yay!! I'm SO glad you liked it!!!
Ashley @ Kitchen Meets Girl
Good for you for saying NO. I need to learn to do that more! And holy moly, but does this pie look amazing! I could eat the entire thing right now!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thanks!! Yes, it's quite hard to keep from devouring it all on the spot! 😉
Erin @ Making Memories
I'm standing in the kitchen with all the ingredients to make this in front of me and I am so excited. I can't wait!
Can I ask, how did you get such a clean cut? Did you refrigerate/freeze the pie? Mine always look so messy.
Jocelyn Brubaker
I am so excited to hear you are going to make this pie!!! It is so decadent and delicious! I always run a knife under very hot water and then dry it off before cutting any dessert. After I get the slice out, I also use the clean, hot knife to run it over the sides for a clean looking picture perfect piece 🙂
debbi

The title of this recipe is made of WIN!
Sometimes you have to say no to things. It is hard to do but you will always have other opportunities in the future. Stressing yourself out because you have too many things going on isn't good! 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thanks Julie!! I'm definitely learning this as I go! 😉
Wendy
Learning to say no is usually one of those life lessons that it takes a life time to master! So, I am honestly impressed with your ability. In my life I have mostly mastered procrastination and the periodic late late night projects. 🙂 Its just that everything seems to happen at the same time. If life would spread itself out, it would be a lot more convenient! 🙂 As soon as I finish the 6 trays of cookies I promised a friend, I am baking this pie!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thank you so much Wendy!!I have definitely mastered procrastination and late night projects too!! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one 😉 Yay, I'm glad you're going to make this! You won't be disappointed! 🙂
