Nancy Butcher's Snickers Candy Bar Cookie Pie took the top dessert prize at General Mills’ Neighborhood to Nation Recipe Contest. The dish continues to be a customer favorite at the Nutcracker ’50s Family Restaurant in Pataskala. “It’s delicious all by itself,” says Butcher. “You’ve got to remember, it’s a cookie inside a crust, so you can’t go wrong.”
