Halloween trick-or-treating events are about to be in full swing!  And along with trick-or-treating events comes ... candy overload.

Yes, until we had our sweet 7-year-old Little Miss H. join our family 2 years ago, I truly had no understanding of just how much candy overload comes along with having a kid.  With Halloween trick-or-treating and fall festival events, followed by Christmas parties, Valentine's candy exchanges, and then Easter egg hunts and bunny visits, there seems to be a never-ending stream of candy flowing through our life.

What's a girl to do with all that candy?

Well, aside from gobbling it up straight-up or {admittedly} making some of it disappear in the garbage can, whipping up this creamy, chocolatey Candy Bar Cheesecake Pie is a great option.

Based on the Twix Cheesecake Pie recipe I shared a couple years back, the beauty of this pie is you can use about any combination of candy bars you'd like in the filling.

Want all Milky Way?  Sure.  Are Snickers more your thing?  Go for it.  Want to use a mixture of all those scrumptious candy bars in your youngins' trick-or-treat bag?  That's the most yummy combination of all!

In the pictured version, I used a combination of Snickers, Milky Way, 3 Muskateers, and Twix inside the pie.

Then I used the same combo plus some plain M&Ms on the top.  We found out through trial-and-error that M&Ms inside the pie stay intact and add a crunchy element to the pie's texture ... which is fine, but we prefer our pie's cheesecake filling to stay creamy.  So we sprinkle just a few M&Ms on top for fun.  Because they give the cheesecake pie such a pretty little pop of color.
