I made a S’More Pie.

It was pretty darn tasty if I do say so myself!

It was my Mom’s Birthday yesterday, but we celebrated her last weekend up in WI with family, food, drinks and this pie.

The chocolate is rich and sweet but the fluffy light marshmallow and salty sweet crust help balance it out perfectly. Just like a real campfire S’More.

For the past few years I have always brought a variety of cupcakes from different places in Chicago (Molly’s is my favorite, followed closely by Sweet Mandy B’s) up to Wisconsin for my Mom’s birthday. This year I  decided to mix things up a bit and make her a pie instead. I always get nervous when I make pies, cakes or desserts for people for their birthday’s. So much pressure to make something they will like! I think she liked it….although Mom’s are always supportive and even if she hated it I’m sure she would pretend to love it 😛

This pie is relatively easy and looks super fun! You could do any type of chocolate for the filling but the darker/less sweet the better! I think milk chocolate would be a little bit overwhelming.

For some reason I am always attracted to s’more recipes. (Not too surprising, s’mores are amazing and anything with chocolate, graham and marshmallow is delicious!)

Here is a list of the S’More recipes I have blogged about in the past:

S’Mores Bars

Gooey White S’more Cake Bars

Pretzel S’more Crunch Bars

S’More Blondies

S’Mores Cupcakes

If you don’t like this pie…well, you’re crazy. But there are plenty of other s’more recipes you could try too! Have a great weekend. Happy Friday, friends!!!!!!

How have I gone so long without posting a peanut butter recipe???

Peanut butter is my favorite food group. Anything with peanut butter is always my first choice.

Mikey doesn’t like peanut butter (he had a bad experience at camp…something with a talent show, an armpit and eating peanut butter) but he does like some peanut butter desserts/candy.

He loved these cookies.

These are the EASIEST  peanut butter cookies in the world. They only have 4 ingredients and they are amazing! Once I filled them with a homemade marshmallow fluff and let them sit in a container overnight they became so soft they practically melted in your mouth!

I used a combination of creamy and chunky peanut butter and I think they turned out great. I liked the little bit of crunch from the peanuts and the salty peanut butter was made sweet by the marshmallow filling.

I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as we did!
