Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
