Snicker Bar Pie
1 9" pastry shell, baked, cool
2 eggs
1 unflavored gelatin envelope
1/4 cup Water, cold
6 1-1/2oz Snickers Bars, cut into pieces
1/4 c peanut butter, chunky
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, unsifted
1 tsp cocoa
3 Tbsp evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 c heavy cream, whipped
Peanuts, salted, chopped

Separate the eggs. Sprinkle the gelatin over cold water in a small saucepan and let stand until softened, about 4 minutes; dissolve over very low heat, stirring. Melt candy bars in top of double boiler over simmering water; add peanut butter and blend with a wooden spoon until smooth; cool. Beat cream cheese with 2 egg yolks thoroughly; gradually add powdered sugar, beating well. Blend in cocoa, evaporated milk, vanilla, candy bar mix and then the dissolved gelatin; mix all well. Chill until partially thickened, stirring one or two times. Stifly beat the room temp egg whites with the salt; fold into chilled mix, then fold in the whipped heavy cream; turn into cooled pastry shell and chill until firm. Decorate with chopped peanuts and additional whipped cream if desired.
