Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
3. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, salt, and melted butter.
4. Mix until evenly moistened.
5. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate.
6. Bake for 8 minutes.
7. Remove and let cool slightly.

Step 2: Make the Brownie Batter

1. In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together.
2. Stir until smooth and glossy.
3. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Add Wet Ingredients

1. Whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar.
2. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
3. Stir in vanilla extract.

Add Dry Ingredients

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
2. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture.
3. Stir just until combined.
4. Fold in chocolate chips.

The batter will be thick and rich.

Step 3: Fill the Pie

1. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared crust.
2. Spread evenly with a spatula.

Step 4: Bake

1. Bake for 35–40 minutes.
2. The center should be slightly soft but set around the edges.
3. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs.

Avoid overbaking for the fudgiest texture.

Step 5: Add the S’mores Topping

1. Remove the pie from the oven.
2. Sprinkle the marshmallows evenly over the top.
3. Scatter the milk chocolate pieces between the marshmallows.
4. Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers.

Step 6: Toast the Marshmallows

Oven Method

1. Return the pie to the oven for 3–5 minutes.
2. Bake until the marshmallows are puffed and lightly golden.

Broiler Method

1. Place under the broiler for 1–2 minutes.
2. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

Step 7: Cool

1. Allow the pie to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
2. This helps the brownie layer set properly.

Step 8: Optional Chocolate Drizzle

1. Heat the cream until warm.
2. Pour over the chocolate chips.
3. Stir until smooth.
4. Drizzle over the cooled pie.

Expert Tips

Use Quality Chocolate

High-quality chocolate makes a noticeable difference in flavor.

Don’t Overbake

A slightly underbaked center creates the perfect fudgy brownie texture.

Chill for Cleaner Slices

Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving if you prefer neat slices.

Toast Carefully

Marshmallows can go from golden to burnt very quickly under the broiler.
