Ingredients
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
