• 1–1/2 cups Mini Marshmallows
• 1/2 cup Milk Chocolate Chips

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F to ensure it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the pie.
2. Prepare Graham Dough Topping: In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar, softened butter, and egg using an electric mixer until the mixture is well blended. Next, stir in the flour, graham cracker crumbs, and baking powder thoroughly to form a sticky cookie dough-like topping. Set aside for later.

5. Repeat Layering: Add the remaining mini marshmallows over the chocolate pieces, then spoon the rest of the marshmallow creme on top.

7. Sprinkle Chocolate Chips: Scatter the 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips on top of the graham dough topping for extra chocolatey goodness.
8. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned and set.
9. Cool Before Serving: Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool for about 20 minutes to set the filling before slicing and serving.

Notes

• Gluten Free Crumb Crust Substitute: Use Cheerios Oat Crunch Honey Oat flavor (dark gold box) or Barbara’s Puffins Cereal as a gluten free alternative. Blend 1-1/2 cups until fine, mix with 5 tablespoons melted butter, press into pie plate, bake 5 minutes at 350°F, and cool before using.
• Gluten Free Flour Mix: Use a gluten free flour mix made from Bob’s Red Mill products in a one-to-one substitution. Detailed recipe available at PortlandiaPielady.com.
• Microwave Marshmallow Creme: Heating marshmallow creme for a few seconds makes it easier to spread evenly.
• Storage: Store any leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days, as marshmallow fillings can soften over time.
