How to Make Mini S’mores Pies

These easy homemade Mini S’mores Pies come together in just a few simple steps. They’re beginner-friendly, fun to assemble, and perfect when you want a quick dessert that still feels special.

1. Prepare the Brownie Batter

Start by preparing your brownie batter according to the package directions, or use your favorite homemade brownie batter recipe if you prefer.

You want the batter fully mixed and ready to go before filling the crusts. Since brownie batters can vary a little by brand, follow the instructions on your box for the best texture and bake time.

2. Fill the Graham Cracker Crusts

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Place the mini graham cracker crusts on a baking sheet. This makes them much easier to transfer in and out of the oven and helps catch any drips if a little batter bubbles over.

Spoon brownie batter into each crust, filling them most of the way but not all the way to the top. The brownie batter will rise slightly as it bakes, so leaving a little room helps prevent overflow.

3. Bake the Brownie Pies

Bake the filled crusts at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes.

The pies should look mostly set around the edges, with the centers just baked through. Since oven temperatures and brownie mixes can vary, start checking near the lower end of the bake time. You want the brownie filling cooked but still soft and fudgy.

4. Add the S’mores Topping

Remove the pies from the oven and immediately top each one with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips.

Return the pies to the oven and bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the marshmallows begin to puff and soften. They may turn lightly golden on top depending on your oven, which adds even more of that classic toasted s’mores look.

5. Cool Before Serving

Let the pies cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. This gives the brownie filling time to settle slightly and makes them easier to handle.

They’re delicious while still a little warm, when the chocolate is melty and the marshmallows are soft and gooey.

Tips for Success

• Don’t overfill the crusts. Leave a little space at the top so the brownie batter has room to rise.
• Use a baking sheet underneath. It makes transferring the pies easier and catches any spills.
• Watch closely during the final bake. Marshmallows can go from perfectly puffy to too dark pretty quickly.
• Slightly underbake for fudgier centers. If you love gooey brownie texture, pull them when the centers are just set.
• Let them cool a bit before serving. This helps the brownie layer firm up while still staying soft and rich.
• Use your favorite brownie mix flavor. Fudgy brownie mix works especially well here.

Equipment Needed

You don’t need anything fancy to make these Mini S’mores Pies, which is part of what makes them so fun and easy.

• Mixing bowl – For preparing the brownie batter.
• Whisk or spoon – To mix the brownie batter.
• Baking sheet – To hold the mini pie crusts while baking.
• Measuring cup – Helpful for portioning marshmallows and chocolate chips if needed.
• Oven mitts and spatula – For safely handling the hot baking sheet.

Recipe Variations

One of the best things about these mini s’mores brownie pies is how easy they are to customize.

1. Use Homemade Brownie Batter

If you have a favorite homemade brownie recipe, you can absolutely use it instead of boxed mix for a more from-scratch dessert.

2. Add Peanut Butter

Sprinkle a few peanut butter chips into the pies or drizzle the finished pies with melted peanut butter for a fun flavor twist.

3. Make Them Extra Chocolatey

Use a mix of semisweet, dark chocolate, or milk chocolate chips depending on your preference, or tuck a few extra chocolate chunks into the brownie batter.

4. Add a Toasted Marshmallow Finish

If you want more color on top, switch the oven to broil for just a few seconds at the end—but watch very closely so the marshmallows don’t burn.

5. Try a Cookies-and-Cream Version

Swap some of the chocolate chips for chopped chocolate sandwich cookies or crushed cookies-and-cream candy for a fun twist.

Serving Suggestions

These easy Mini S’mores Pies are already a show-stealing dessert on their own, but here are a few fun ways to serve them.

• Serve warm for the best gooey marshmallow and melty chocolate texture.
• Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
• Drizzle with chocolate sauce if you want to dress them up for a party.
• Serve on a dessert platter with brownies, cookies, and bars for a fun party spread.
• Top with extra crushed graham crackers for added crunch and a bakery-style finish.
• Pack them for summer gatherings or potlucks where hand-held desserts are especially convenient.

FAQs

Can I make Mini S’mores Pies ahead of time?

Yes. You can bake them a few hours ahead of time and let them cool completely. For the best gooey texture, warm them slightly before serving.

What kind of brownie mix works best?

Any standard brownie mix works, but a fudgy brownie mix gives the richest, softest center and works especially well with the marshmallow topping.

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?

Yes, but it’s best to cut them into smaller pieces so they melt more evenly and fit nicely on top of the mini pies.

How should I store leftovers?

Store leftover pies in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or in the refrigerator for a few days. If chilled, you can warm them slightly before serving for a softer texture.

Can I freeze them?

Yes, although the marshmallow texture may change a bit after thawing. If freezing, wrap them well and thaw before reheating gently.

Can I make these without store-bought mini crusts?

You can. If you’d rather make your own graham cracker crust, press a graham cracker crumb mixture into muffin tins or mini tart pans and partially bake before adding the brownie batter.
