I hope that you are enjoying these 25 Days of Entertaining as much as I am! I am optimistic that you have found a recipe or 2 that has made your holiday entertaining a little easier. I’d love to hear from you in the comments below if you’ve had a chance to try any of the recipes that I’ve featured.
Y’all are going to love today’s recipe for Snickers Pie because it’s so easy and anyone that you share it with will want the recipe. It’s just that good!
The more we entertain the more I realize the importance of doing as much prep as I can ahead of time. I love to be in my kitchen but I don’t want to neglect our guests or miss out on conversation because I’m stuck in the kitchen all night.
In my opinion, dessert is one of the easiest pieces of a meal to prep ahead of time. I love desserts that can be made several hours or even a day in advance. When I saw this recipe for Snickers Pie, it was a perfect pie to make ahead of time. I mean, come on! It’s made out of melted Snickers. What’s not to love?
The beauty of this pie is that you can make it a day in advance so that it has time to set and is completely chilled. Snickers Pie is incredibly rich and pairs beautifully with a nice cup of coffee.
