If you have a serious sweet tooth, this cookie pie is essentially the dessert to end all desserts. Created by Lindsay Hunt of Buzzfeed, the Candy Bar Cookie Pie is basically a cookie dough pie filled with candy. No fruit is involved in this recipe, seasonal or otherwise.
You will need amazingly delicious ingredients like graham cracker crust, Twix bars, M & Ms and mini chocolate peanut butter cups. You basically pour the candy (and feel free to improvise here with your own favorites) into a cookie dough and cook it. The candy pie is baked in the oven, making is a gooey, wonderful mess. For bonus points and taking the dish to a whole new level, serve with ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, sprinkles and anything else you can think of.
