Smores Brownie Pie Recipe

You know those days when your sweet tooth is basically screaming, “FEED ME SOMETHING EPIC”? Yeah… this Smores Brownie Pie is the answer. It’s gooey, chocolatey, marshmallowy chaos—in the best way possible. And the best part? You don’t need a campfire, survival skills, or even much patience. Just a pan, an oven, and the willingness to eat something dangerously delicious.

Why This Recipe is Awesome

You ever try a recipe and think, “Wow, this is about to be a hot mess”? Same. But this one? It’s practically foolproof. Seriously, it’s so easy that even if your kitchen track record is… questionable (no judgment), you’ll still walk away looking like a dessert genius.

Plus:

• It’s a s’mores + brownie + pie mashup. Like, what more do you want?
• It’s perfect for parties, movie nights, or when you’re pretending to share but absolutely won’t.
• It makes your kitchen smell like pure happiness.

Basically, it’s the dessert equivalent of a warm hug—if hugs were made of chocolate and marshmallows.

Ingredients You’ll Need

(Grab these before your sweet tooth starts protesting.)

• 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (store-bought because we respect your time)
• 1 box brownie mix (your favorite brand or whatever was on sale)
• Eggs, oil, and water (for the brownie mix—read the box, my friend)
• 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows (the tiny ones that melt into beautiful goo)
• ½ cup chocolate chips (because more chocolate is always the right choice)
• 2 graham crackers, crushed (for sprinkling on top and pretending this counts as “texture”)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Don’t skip this. Your pie deserves a warm welcome.
2. Prepare your brownie batter according to the box instructions. Feel free to add an extra handful of chocolate chips—YOLO.
3. Pour the brownie batter into your graham cracker crust. Try not to eat it raw… or do. I’m not your mom.
4. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still slightly fudgy. Don’t worry—it’ll finish cooking later.
5. Remove from the oven and immediately top with mini marshmallows and crushed graham crackers. Don’t overthink the “design”—chaos is part of the vibe.
6. Return to the oven for 5–8 minutes, just until the marshmallows turn golden and toasty. (Yes, you can broil it, but keep watch unless you enjoy kitchen fires.)
7. Cool for at least 10–15 minutes, or don’t if you enjoy lava-level goo. Slice carefully… or just grab a fork and commit to the moment.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Skipping the preheat. Don’t be that person. Your brownie pie will bake unevenly and judge you silently.
• Overbaking the brownie layer. You want fudge, not chocolate drywall.
• Walking away while broiling the marshmallows. Unless you want to summon the fire department as your sous-chef.
• Using jumbo marshmallows. They melt like sad snowmen and turn your pie into a sticky swamp.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• No graham cracker crust? Use a chocolate cookie crust. It’s not traditional, but neither are you.
• No brownie mix? Homemade brownie batter works, but that’s extra effort. Respect if you go for it.
• Add-ins: Toss in nuts, caramel bits, or peanut butter cups. Go wild—this recipe doesn’t believe in rules.
• Gluten-free? Use a GF crust and mix. Boom—problem solved.

IMO, this dessert works with almost anything except raisins. Don’t do that to yourself.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

Totally. Just don’t add the marshmallows until you’re ready to reheat and toast them. No one likes stale marshmallows.

Do I have to use a boxed brownie mix?

You don’t have to, but why complicate your life? Boxed mixes are delicious and convenient.

Can I use big marshmallows instead of mini ones?

Technically yes… but they’ll melt faster than your willpower on a diet. Stick with minis.

How do I store leftovers?

Leftovers? Cute. But if it happens, store covered at room temp for 1–2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Can I freeze it?

Yep! Freeze without marshmallows, then add and toast when serving. Keeps the texture on point.

What if my crust cracks?

Welcome to the club. It still tastes amazing. The goo will glue everything back together anyway.

Can I use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate?

Absolutely. Go fancy. Make the pie feel expensive.
