Ingredients

• ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup (62g) all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 9-inch pie crust
• 1 7-ounce jar marshmallow fluff
• 1 cup (268g) peanut butter
• 17 caramels (100g), unwrapped
• 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk
• 1 cup (134g) peanuts
• 2 tablespoons hot fudge sauce

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Unroll the pie crust and line your pie plate with it.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and eggs until combined. Add the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring until smooth. Pour the batter over the pie crust evenly.
3. Step 3: Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the brownie layer to cool completely before adding toppings.
4. Step 4: In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff until well combined. Use a hand mixer for a smoother texture if desired. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
5. Step 5: Place the unwrapped caramels and milk in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for about 1½ minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted and smooth. Stir in the peanuts, then spread the caramel-peanut mixture over the peanut butter layer.
6. Step 6: Warm the hot fudge sauce in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Transfer to a zip-top bag, cut off a small tip, and drizzle the fudge over the pie to finish.

Tips & Variations

• Use creamy peanut butter for easier spreading and a smoother texture.
• Substitute roasted salted peanuts with chopped Snickers bars for extra candy pieces.
• If you prefer a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pie crust.
• Chill the pie for an hour before serving to let layers set and make slicing easier.

Storage

Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Bring to room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving for best flavor and texture. Leftover slices can be reheated briefly in the microwave if you like a warm dessert.

FAQs

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Yes, it’s best to prepare the pie a few hours ahead or even the day before to allow the layers to set properly, which makes slicing cleaner and service easier.

Can I use a homemade pie crust instead of store-bought?

Absolutely! A homemade pie crust works wonderfully and can add a buttery, flaky texture. Just ensure it fits a 9-inch pie plate and is pre-baked or baked with the brownie batter as directed.

Scale 1x2x3x

Brownie Layer

• ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup (62g) all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 9-inch pie crust

Peanut Butter Fluff Layer

• 1 7-ounce jar marshmallow fluff
• 1 cup (268g) peanut butter

Caramel Peanut Topping

• 17 caramels (100g), unwrapped
• 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk
• 1 cup (134g) peanuts

Decoration

• 2 tablespoons hot fudge sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll the 9-inch pie crust and carefully line your pie plate with it, pressing gently into the edges.
2. Make Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and combined. Add in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt; mix until fully incorporated. Pour this brownie batter evenly over the prepared pie crust.
3. Bake Brownie Layer: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Remove the pie and allow it to cool completely before adding the next layers to prevent melting.
4. Prepare Peanut Butter Fluff Layer: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. You can mix by hand or use a hand mixer for a smoother consistency. Once the brownie layer is completely cooled, spread this peanut butter fluff mixture evenly over the brownie layer.
5. Make Caramel Peanut Topping: Place the unwrapped caramels and milk in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 1½ minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the caramel is fully melted and smooth. Stir in the peanuts until evenly coated. Spread this caramel peanut mixture over the peanut butter fluff layer.
6. Finish with Hot Fudge Drizzle: Warm the jar of hot fudge sauce in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until it’s fluid enough to drizzle. Transfer the fudge to a Ziploc bag, cut off one corner, and drizzle the hot fudge sauce decoratively over the caramel and peanut topping.

Notes

• Make sure the brownie layer is completely cooled before adding the peanut butter fluff to prevent melting or mixing of layers.
• If you prefer, use creamy or chunky peanut butter based on your texture preference.
• For a nut-free version, substitute peanuts with chopped pretzels or toasted coconut flakes and omit peanut butter.
• You can prepare the pie crust from scratch or use store-bought for convenience.
• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to keep the pie fresh.
