Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 package brownie mix
- Ingredients required on brownie mix package (usually eggs, oil, and water)
Pie Assembly
- 8 mini graham cracker crusts
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven according to the temperature specified in the brownie mix instructions, typically around 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare Brownie Batter: In a mixing bowl, prepare the brownie batter by following the package directions, usually involving combining the mix with eggs, oil, and water until smooth.
- Fill Crusts: Spoon the prepared brownie batter into each mini graham cracker crust, filling them but leaving some space to allow the batter to rise during baking.
- Bake Brownies: Place the filled crusts on a baking sheet and bake as directed on the brownie mix box, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, generally about 15-20 minutes.
- Add Toppings: Immediately after baking, sprinkle each mini pie evenly with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips.
- Melt Toppings: Return the pies to the oven for 1-2 minutes at the same temperature until the marshmallows are slightly melted and the chocolate chips begin to soften.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly to set before serving, ensuring the topping is warm but stable.
Notes
- If mini graham cracker crusts are unavailable, you can use regular graham cracker crusts cut into smaller sections or make your own mini crusts using crushed graham crackers and butter.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips as desired.
- Watch the pies carefully during the final melting step to prevent marshmallows from burning.
- These mini pies are best served warm for gooey marshmallow texture but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; marshmallows tend to harden after cooling.
