Frequently Asked Questions

Which Other Crumbs Can I Use for the Crust?

You could use any other subtly flavored cookies of your choice - digestive biscuits, Nilla wafers, or even Oreos if you want some extra chocolatey flavor.
If you don’t want to use any biscuits at all, you could use almond flour or powdered walnuts instead.

Can I Try the Recipe With Dark Chocolate?

You definitely can. Make sure you use good quality chocolate bars for this recipe since they are the star ingredient in the truest sense. Chop up the chocolate bars roughly and then use them. This will help the chocolate melt faster and will keep it from burning.

How Do I Store the Milk Chocolate Candy Bar Pie?

Your milk chocolate candy bar pie needs to be stored just like any other no-bake pie. Cover the leftovers or transfer them to an airtight container before you refrigerate them. These can last for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, or for 2 months in the freezer.

What Else Can I Add?

This creamy and rich pie has just the right balance of flavors and textures, but if you want a bit more, here’s what you can do. Pour half of the pie filling on the crust, allow it to rest in the refrigerator for a few minutes, get it out and sprinkle a layer of chopped nuts or biscuit crumbs on it before you pour the other half of the layer on top.
If you’re not too keen about using biscuit crumbs or nuts, you could also add an additional, thinner layer of Nutella or Lotus Biscoff spread and have it as the middle layer.

What Other Toppings Can I Try?

Since this milk chocolate candy bar pie is a classic and has some versatile flavors, you can experiment with the toppings of your choice. You can stick to the basics like whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce, or try out some chopped nuts if you don’t mind a bit of texture.
Chocolate shavings can also take your pie to the next level, and if you want some extra gooey deliciousness, top the pie with some marshmallow fluff and a sprinkle of cocoa powder.

Tips to Make the Milk Chocolate Candy Bar Pie

Think you’re all ready to give the recipe a try? Keep these little tips and tricks in mind before you do to make sure you nail it.

If you’re confused about which chocolate candy bar to use for this recipe, go with Hershey’s milk chocolate- it has the perfect balance of sweetness and chocolate flavor. Depending on your personal preference, you can choose the candy bar with almonds or without.
While overnight refrigeration is ideal for this pie, you can still stick to the minimum of 4-6 hours if you’re whipping this up in a hurry. To speed up the firming process, you can also pop the pie in the freezer for an hour or so and then back into the refrigerator.
The filling for this pie calls for sour cream and cream cheese as two additional ingredients, but if you don’t have them and still want to try this recipe, you can just use whipped topping instead. Remember that you’ll need to reduce the amount of sugar you’re adding in this case, or else your pie will turn overly sweet.
Cutting a no-bake pie can be a tricky job. To make it easier, you can run the knife under hot water and wipe it clean before using it to cut the slices. Remmeber to wipe the pie with a clean cloth after every single cut too.
