I opted for an easy, simple pie this week as we were in the midst of birthdays, spring break and traveling. This was a yummy, easy pie with only one minor mishap. It's a S'mores Pie, so think of a campfire s'more and that's what it is. Graham cracker crust, chocolate pudding filling and then broiled marshmallows on top. Sounds easy and yummy and it was but you have to be VERY careful while broiling the marshmallows on top. For ease, I just used instant chocolate pudding but it would probably be even yummier with homemade chocolate filling. The pie is refrigerated for a few hours and then just before serving, you put the marshmallows on top and broil for a couple of minutes letting the marshmallows brown. Watch the pie very closely and make sure the rack is not too high as the marshmallows puff up. I was not watching ours close enough and as it puffed up, it hit the broiling heating element and caught on fire...our pie was literally on fire. Thanks to quick thinking of Uncle Nate and P, the pie was rescued, an oven fire was averted and we still ate the pie...after scraping off all the charred marshmallows and adding a few new ones. Not as pretty as I had hoped, but still yummy and it had that real campfire taste! Kids and adults all thought it was pretty yummy and there were no leftovers!
