No-Bake Candy Bar Pie

Review by Rachael:

8oz. cream cheese, softened

½ cup powdered sugar

8 oz. container frozen whipped topping, thawed

4 butterfinger candy bars, crushed & divided

9 inch graham cracker crust

NOTE: YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE ANY TYPE OF CANDY BAR THAT YOU LIKE

Directions:

Cream together the cream cheese and powdered sugar

Fold in the whipped topping and half of the crushed candy bar.

Spoon mixture into the graham cracker crust

Sprinkle remaining crushed candy bar on top; refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

I had seen this recipe floating around Facebook and thought I would give it a try. As you can see by the recipe, it is really easy to prepare. The hardest part is waiting the 4 hours while it sets! 

I cut back and only used 3 candy bars, which was plenty. I would actually put a little more than ½ of the crushed candy bar in the pie mix and a little less as topping. This is a little rich for my taste, but it was good. A little goes a long way. Jason loved it so I’m sure we will be making it again….next time we will get crazy and try a different kind of candy! 

UV Candy Bar Vodka Recipes

Review by Lyndee:

UV Vodka released their new flavor recently and Melody and I were elated to see that it was “candy bar”.  Chocolate and caramel flavored vodka.  Naturally we rushed to the store to acquire a bottle and see what we could come up with.  We tried what they had suggested online and also some other variations.  Truth is, and I say this with a tear in my eye and a dry throat, we didn’t love it.  The caramel overpowers the chocolate.  We couldn’t find a mixer that was excellent with it besides the creamy ones.  And for anyone counting calories, that’s a dangerously slippery drinking slope. 

We tried it with:

Diet Pepsi

Diet Pepsi and milk

Diet Pepsi, milk and Kahlua

My homemade Irish cream

Diet Pepsi and my homemade Irish cream

Our favorites were mixing it with the Irish cream or milk, Kahlua and diet Pepsi.  For my tastes, it would probably be better used in shots rather than a full drink.  Or with ice cream.  That would be awesome. 

Fear not, we will continue to attempt other recipes that don’t include cream until that bottle is gone.  And as always, we will pass it along to you.
