Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 package brownie mix
Pie Crust
- 8 mini graham cracker crusts
Topping
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven according to the temperature indicated on the brownie mix package, usually around 350°F (175°C), to ensure it’s ready to bake the pies evenly.
- Prepare Brownie Batter: In a mixing bowl, follow the instructions on the brownie mix package to prepare the batter. This typically involves combining the mix with eggs, oil, and water and mixing until smooth.
- Fill Crusts: Spoon the brownie batter into each mini graham cracker crust, filling them but leaving some space at the top to allow the brownies to rise as they bake.
- Bake Brownies: Place the filled crusts on a baking sheet and bake them according to the package instructions, generally about 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie layer comes out clean.
- Add Toppings: Immediately after removing the pies from the oven, top each one with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips to create the classic s’mores topping.
- Melt Toppings: Return the pies to the oven for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, just until the marshmallows soften and begin to melt slightly, but do not fully brown or burn.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the mini s’mores pies from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving to let the layers set and avoid burning your mouth on hot marshmallows.
Notes
- Use a toothpick to check doneness of the brownies without disturbing the crust.
- If mini graham cracker crusts are unavailable, consider using a small tart shell or a hollowed-out muffin cup lined with graham cracker crumbs.
- These pies are best served the same day but can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
- Toasting marshmallows longer will give a more traditional browned look but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven and the exact size of the mini crusts.
