S'mores Pie

Sorry about the slightly late post. I was going to do it last night, but realized I left my recipes at work! This was a yummy recipe, very easy to make and very rich. You only need a small slice to fill you up so that means the pie goes far.

• 1 stick softened butter
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 7 oz container of marshmallow creme
• 8 whole (1.55 oz) Hershey's chocolate bars, unwrapped
• 1 cup small marshmallows
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9-inch pie pan with baking spray. In a large bowl beat butter and sugar together until combined, add egg and vanilla and stir them in. Stir in flour, graham cracker crumbs and baking powder. 

Tyler insisted the chocolate bars look
 pretty, even though they were going to be
covered by all the other stuff. 

Divide dough in half. Press half the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan. Evenly spread marshmallow creme over the crust. Separate chocolate squares and place on top of the marshmallow creme. Place marshmallows on top. 

Using remaining crust, pat sections of dough on top of and around all marshmallows (they will still show through). Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Bake 20 minutes until lightly browned. 

Remove pan from oven and set on wire cooling rack. Cool completely, at least 30 minutes, before cutting. 

NOTES: I had never worked with marshmallow creme before. Man that stuff is super sticky. I don't know that there is any easy way to spread it nicely on the crust so just do your best. I specified small marshmallows in the recipe because this is what I used and it worked well. I feel like the big ones would be too hard to spread around evenly on the crust. 

Also, I used mini chocolate chips because that's what we had handy. I think I liked them for the same reason I liked the small marshmallows: they fit better into all the crevices of the pie. Go ahead and use regular size ones, but I liked the minis. 

The size of the Hershey bar matters. I had random sizes around our house so I guessed and used the same amount of ounces recommended in the recipe. The bricks are different sizes! We made it work, but just be aware.
