Snickers Pie

• 3 (2.07-oz.) Snickers candy bars
• 1 baked pretzel crust (recipe follows)
• 1 1/2 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, softened 
• 1/2 C. sugar 
• 1/3 C. sour cream 
• 1/3 C. creamy peanut butter
• 2 large eggs 
• 2/3 C. semisweet chocolate morsels
• 2 Tbsp. whipping cream
• 1/4 C. coarsely chopped, lightly salted peanuts

• Preheat oven to 325°. Cut candy bars into 1/4-inch pieces; arrange over bottom of crust.
• Beat cream cheese and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended. Add sour cream and peanut butter, beating at low speed until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until yellow disappears after each addition. Spoon cream cheese mixture over candy on crust.
• Bake at 325° for 35 to 40 minutes or until set. Remove to a wire rack, and let cool 1 hour or until completely cool. Cover and chill 2 hours.
• Microwave chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl on HIGH for 30 seconds or until melted and smooth, stirring at 15-second intervals. Drizzle over top of cooled pie, and sprinkle evenly with peanuts.

For the crust:

2 C. finely crushed pretzel sticks

1/4 C. firmly packed light brown sugar

• 3/4 C. melted butter

• Stir together all ingredients; firmly press crumb mixture on bottom, up sides, and onto lip of a lightly greased 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack, and cool crust 1 hour or until completely cool before filling.
