Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup (62g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 9-inch pie crust
  • 1 7-ounce jar marshmallow fluff
  • 1 cup (268g) peanut butter
  • 17 (100g) caramels, unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk
  • 1 cup (134g) peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons hot fudge sauce

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll your pie crust and place it evenly in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until combined. Add cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring until smooth. Pour this batter evenly over the prepared pie crust.
  3. Step 3: Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the brownie layer to cool completely before adding the toppings.
  4. Step 4: In a separate large bowl, mix the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff together until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
  5. Step 5: Place the unwrapped caramels and milk in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 1 ½ minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the caramel is melted. Stir in the peanuts, then spread this caramel-nut topping over the peanut butter layer.
  6. Step 6: Warm the hot fudge sauce in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a Ziploc bag, snip off a small corner, and drizzle the fudge over the top of the pie.

Tips & Variations

  • Use a hand mixer to blend the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff smoothly for a lighter texture.
  • Substitute roasted salted peanuts with chopped Snickers bars for an extra chocolaty crunch.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the peanuts and use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.

Storage

Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture. You can also freeze the pie (without fudge drizzle) for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the fridge and add fudge sauce before serving.

FAQs

Can I use a homemade pie crust instead of store-bought?

Absolutely. A homemade pie crust works perfectly and adds a fresh touch. Just make sure it’s prebaked slightly if needed to avoid a soggy bottom.

What can I use instead of marshmallow fluff?

If you can’t find marshmallow fluff, melted marshmallows or a homemade marshmallow creme substitute will work well in this recipe.

Scale

Pie Crust and Brownie Layer

  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup (62g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 9-inch pie crust

Topping

  • 1 7-ounce jar marshmallow fluff
  • 1 cup (268g) peanut butter
  • 17 caramels (100g), unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk
  • 1 cup (134g) peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons hot fudge sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pie Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll your 9-inch pie crust and line your pie plate with it, ensuring the crust is evenly spread and ready for the brownie batter.
  2. Make Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined. Then, add the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a smooth brownie batter forms. Pour this batter evenly over the pie crust in the pie plate.
  3. Bake Brownie Base: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the brownie pie to cool completely before adding toppings.
  4. Prepare Peanut Butter Fluff Topping: In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff until smooth and evenly combined. You can use a hand mixer for easier blending. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
  5. Melt Caramel and Add Peanuts: Place the unwrapped caramels and milk in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat for about 1½ minutes, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent burning. Once melted and smooth, stir in the peanuts thoroughly. Spread this caramel-peanut mixture over the peanut butter fluff layer on the pie.
  6. Drizzle Hot Fudge Sauce: Warm the hot fudge sauce in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds until pourable. Transfer it into a ziploc bag and cut off a small tip from one corner. Drizzle the warm hot fudge sauce artistically over the top of the pie, completing the decadent look and flavor.

Notes

  • Allow the brownie base to cool completely before adding the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff layer to prevent melting and mixing.
  • When melting caramels, stir frequently to avoid scorching.
  • You can substitute roasted unsalted peanuts with chopped Snickers bars for an extra caramel and nougat punch.
  • For easier slicing, refrigerate the pie for at least an hour before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
