Millionaire Pie-- There Are A Million Reasons To Love It!

Millionaire Pie-- There Are A Million Reasons To Love It!

For starters, not only is it delicious, but it is so quick and easy to make!

I came across this recipe I a recipe swap that I participated in last year. It was one of those recipes that intrigued me at first sight-- I knew it would be one of the recipes that I would either totally love or totally hate. Well, I finally made it and the verdict is in.... LOVE it! It is awesome, all of the flavors go together wonderfully and it has so many different textures, it really is a treat! Another great thing about this recipe is that it makes 2 pies, so you can make one to bring somewhere or to give someone and you can make another for yourself :)

Easy Peasy S'mores Pie

 

My kids love s'mores, but it is not always easy to drop everything and go outside and start a fire to make them. Plus, it always seems like it is raining when they want to make them! A few days ago, in attempt to keep my kids busy during a storm, we tried something new-- S'mores Pie. I had the kids prepare a box of brownie mix, following the instructions on the box. Instead of pouring the mixture in a pan, we poured it into a store bought graham cracker crust. We then baked it according to the brownie box, following the time for an 8x8 pan. When the time was up, we covered the brownie with mini marshmallows and put it back in the oven for a few more minutes, until the marshmallows were nice and golden brown.

My kids approved this "inside" version of s'mores and we will definitely be making this again!
