Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package mini graham cracker pie crusts
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by gathering all ingredients and equipment, including mini graham cracker pie crusts, mixing bowls, and measuring cups.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well-blended, creating a consistent peanut butter filling.
- Gently fold whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture, ensuring a light and creamy texture without deflating the whipped cream.
- Carefully spoon the peanut butter mixture into each mini graham cracker pie crust, filling them approximately 2/3 full and creating an even surface.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly across the top of each mini pie, distributing them generously to ensure chocolate in every bite.
- Add mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate chips, covering the surface of each mini pie with a layer of fluffy marshmallows.
- Preheat your oven broiler to high and place the mini pies on a baking sheet.
- Carefully place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to ensure marshmallows turn golden brown and slightly toasted without burning.
- Remove from broiler and let cool for 5-10 minutes at room temperature to allow the pies to set.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for a firmer texture. Best enjoyed within 24 hours of preparation.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the peanut butter filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the pies.
- Even Distribution: When filling the mini graham cracker crusts, use a cookie scoop for consistent portions, ensuring each pie has the same delicious flavor.
- Watch the Broiler: Keep a close eye on the marshmallows while they’re under the broiler; they can go from perfectly toasted to burnt in just a few seconds!
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add crushed graham crackers, drizzle with chocolate sauce, or even sprinkle with sea salt for a gourmet touch.
- Serving Suggestions: These mini pies can be served warm for a gooey experience or chilled for a firmer texture, making them versatile for any occasion.
