What is Smores Pie?
Enjoy the familiar flavors of the classic summertime dessert in pie form. You will want to sink your teeth into the deliciously easy s’mores pie that features a buttery graham cracker crust, creamy chocolate filling, and a fluffy marshmallow topping.
What You Need to Make this Recipe
- Graham Crackers: Prepare a graham cracker crust from scratch by processing the crackers into crumbs and baking them with melted butter; this is a great way to use those end-of-summer crackers in the back of your pantry. Cut the prep time in half by purchasing a store-bought graham cracker crust.
- Chocolate: Use whatever chocolate you prefer; we make it with Hershey’s because it’s a classic, but we’ve also tried Reese’s and chocolate chips with great results.
- Marshmallows: Use what you have in your pantry, but I love how the Smores Pie comes out using the large marshmallows made for s’mores.
How to Make Easy Smores Pie
The full recipe with measurements is in the recipe card below.
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 325°F (162°C). Then, grind the graham crackers in a food processor until fine, and add the melted butter; stir to combine.
Step 2: Press the mixture into a prepared pie plate using the back of a measuring cup or spoon and bake for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Allow the crust to cool, and line Hersey’s bars onto the pie crust in 1-2 layers, depending on how chocolatey you want it to be.
Step 4: Layer the marshmallows over the chocolate. Arrange the oven rack to the lower or middle position.
Place the pie in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the marshmallows are puffed and golden brown.
Drizzle with melted chocolate and top with graham crackers to serve.
Expert Tips
- Arrange the oven rack to the lower or middle position to prevent the marshmallows from scorching.
- You may be tempted to broil the pie to speed up the cooking process but don’t. It will catch fire. Unfortunately, I know this from experience. I make the mistakes over here, so you don’t have to.
