This candy-loaded cookie pie is perfect for using up any leftover candy you have from Christmas or Valentine’s Day. It’s a cabinet-cleaner, for sure. And it’s not even really a pie, but a giant cookie that you slice. Chocolate chip cookies are my weakness, so this had to get gifted ASAP.

I used a bunch of Valentine’s Day-themed candy since it’s that time of the year — the time I secretly love for the aesthetic alone. I get a kick out of the pink explosion in the store aisles. I don’t care that it’s cliche. I dig it. Plus, I heart conversation hearts:

These also offered me the opportunity for a #nofaxgiven joke on my Instagram, too.

I used a regular pie pan, but feel free to use a cast iron skillet and serve it warm right in the skillet itself. or maybe in small personal-size skillets? Later on, this pie was served re-warmed with some vanilla ice cream and all was well in the world.

If I’m honest, I only had a tiny taste of this cookie pie since I’m keeping my sugar intake low, but I sure did want to eat more. And all the people on whom I pawned it off enjoyed it. It’s a giftable pie. If you want to keep the sugar low, you can always sub in sugar free candy and sugar substitute in the batter. I often use this brown sugar blend. But this recipe harnesses the power of real sugar and real candy for special occasions. Nom.
