Gather These Simple Ingredients
Before we get started, let’s make sure you have everything on hand:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 150g)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (85g)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (25g)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (160g)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (115g)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (100g)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (10ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (3g)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (1g)
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips (130g, semi-sweet and/or milk chocolate)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chunks (85g)
- 20-25 large marshmallows (about 180g, cut in half)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (50g)
- Extra chocolate chips or shavings (optional, for topping)
Let’s Make It Together
Now, let’s bring this irresistible pie to life with these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or line it with parchment paper for easy release.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Firmly press this mixture into the bottom and sides of your pie dish. Bake for 7-8 minutes until just golden and set, then let it cool.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chocolate chunks, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
- Spread the cookie dough evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set. Let it cool for about 10 minutes.
- Arrange the halved large marshmallows (cut side down) and mini marshmallows over the top to cover completely.
- Broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to ensure the marshmallows toast to a perfect golden brown. Rotate as needed for even browning!
- If desired, sprinkle extra chocolate chips or shavings on top to finish. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve slightly warm for that gooey texture you crave.
Delicious Variations to Try
- Chocolate Mint Sensation: Add a few drops of peppermint extract to the cookie dough for an indulgent mint twist.
- Nutty Bliss: Stir in 1/2 cup of crushed nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, for a delightful crunch.
- Fruity Flavors: Mix in chopped strawberries or banana slices for a zesty fruit addition that complements the marshmallows beautifully.
- Dark Chocolate Dream: Swap out semi-sweet chips for dark chocolate chunks for a richer, more luxurious flavor.
