This Peanut Butter Pie recipe uses Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Candy Bars for the crust. The candy bars are like peanut butter Tagalong Girl Scout Cookies.

Peanut Butter Silk Pie RecipeIt’s no secret that I love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. I’ve posted several desserts that use peanut butter and chocolate.  My favorite Girl Scout Cookies are the Tagalongs which are, of course, peanut butter and chocolate. So, I was excited to learn that Nestle Crunch has special Girl Scout candy bars available for a limited time and one of the flavors is peanut butter creme!

Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Candy BarsWhen I buy Girl Scout cookies, I buy the peanut butter, mint and caramel coconut cookies because those are my family’s favorites. While shopping at Walmart, I discovered all three of our favorites are now available in a candy bar form! I purchased all three flavors of Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Bars: Peanut Butter Creme, Thin Mints and Caramel Coconut. Yes, I did the hard work and sampled the candy bars. They are all delicious with the perfectly sweet combination of crunchy and creamy! My kids love the candy bars too. They are so good that, I had to use the peanut butter creme bars to make a dessert and decided on Peanut Butter Silk Pie. The Peanut Butter Pie is a wonderful summer recipe since it is a no bake dessert and you don’t have to turn the oven on to make it!

Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Peanut Butter CremeTo make the crust, chop up all but 4 of the peanut butter creme Nestle Crunch Girls Scout Candy Bars from two boxes of bars, about 20 bars total. Press the mixture into a 9 inch springform pan and press some of the mixture up the sides a bit. Since there is peanut butter and chocolate in the bars, they hold the crumbs together and you don’t need to add anything to them to make the crust. Then, place the pan in the freezer to harden while making the filling.

Beat one packaged of softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, Jif Whips (whipped peanut butter and chocolate) and vanilla and beat until smooth.

Fill Springform PanFold in a large container of whipped topping. Remove the crust from the freezer and fill the springform pan with the chocolate and peanut butter mousse. Spread it out in an even layer in the pan and place it in the freezer to harden. I left it in the freezer overnight.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Silk PieThis Peanut Butter Pie is probably the most delicious dessert I’ve ever made. It is super rich so you can only eat a little at a time. I was able to share with my family and friends and there is still more in my fridge! The peanut butter creme Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Candy Bars are delicious to eat alone and they take this pie to the next level! I know I am going to be making this again so I am going to have to stock up on more boxes of Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Candy Bars since they are only available for a limited time. I’m leaving soon on a road trip with my kids and my friend and her kids. These Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Candy Bars will be coming with us. The fun sized bars are a great snack and since there are three flavors, they are sure to please everyone.

  1. This recipe looks wonderful! I would love to try and make it. But I can’t have gluten, and I think those candy bars have gluten in them. Is there any gluten free option I can use for the crust instead of the girl scout candy bars? Thank in advance for any advice you can provide.

    Reply

    • Thanks Julie! I would suggest that you use your favorite brand of ready-made gluten free peanut butter cookies. You will need to add some peanut butter or butter to make the cookie crumbles stick together and form a crust since the Nestle Crunch Girl Scout candy bars are dipped in chocolate and have layers of peanut butter cream.

  6. Can anyone translate this recipe into Canadian? I need substitutions for some of the ingredients. What is peanut butter and chocolate jiff whips? We don’t have those girl guide cookies either, what’s in them?

    • Jiff Whips is a combination of chocolate and peanut butter whipped together: http://www.jif.com/products/whipped-peanut-butter-and-chocolate
      Nestle Girl Scout Crunch Peanut Butter Crème – Cookie wafers layered with smooth peanut butter crème, topped with airy crispies and a creamy, chocolatey coating
      I would suggest mixing together whipped chocolate frosting and peanut butter for the Jiff Whips. For the cookies, substitute any chocolate and peanut butter wafer cookies or candy bars. Happy Baking!

    • Hi Stacey,
      I would suggest using another candy bar or snack bar that has wafers, peanut butter and chocolate. Otherwise, you could use make a cookie crust using peanut butter sandwich cookies. Thanks for stopping by!

    • You could make it in a 9×13 pan or two 9 inch pie or cake pans. You wouldn’t be able to take it out of the pan to put on a cake stand but that wouldn’t matter one bit! Thanks for stopping by and best of luck, Cathy!
