Summer is just around the corner it feels like, and what says summer more than s’mores! Well you don’t have to build a campfire to enjoy this tasty twist on a classic summertime sweet treat. I made this melty gooey chocolately delicious pie with three simple ingredients:

• Ready made graham cracker crust
• Large marshmallows
• Chocolate chips

Um… can you say “Yum!” This one was definitely a kid favorite to taste test for me.

You can just make a regular s’mores pie, but I actually took this easy recipe idea a step further. We recently celebrated a co-worker’s upcoming nuptials with an office bridal shower. I wanted to make something a little special, so I gave my s’mores pie a little “heart”.

Before assembling my s’mores pie, I took a handful (10 to be exact) of marshmallows and dipped them into a bowl filled with water mixed with a couple drops of pink food dye. Then I let them dry completely before assembling into a heart design.

The rest of simply putting it all together.

Step 1: line the bottom of the graham cracker crust with chocolate chips

Step 2: add an outer rind of large marshmallows along the edge of your crust

Step 3: create a heart shape with your hand-dipped marshmallows in the center and then fill in the rest with marshmallows

Step 4: bake at 300 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until brown and melty

Start with this:

Bake in your oven and get this:

Now, I have to warn you. This is a gooey pie to eat. Be prepared to get a little messy!

But isn’t that what eating s’mores is all about? = )

Kick off the summer with this yummy chocolate marshmallow-melty treat!
