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

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate, pressing gently to fit.
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, mixing thoroughly. Pour the batter over the pie crust.
3. Step 3: Bake the pie for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the pie to cool completely before adding the next layers.
4. Step 4: In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff until smooth. Use a hand mixer if desired for easier blending. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
5. Step 5: Place the unwrapped caramels and milk into a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat for about 1½ minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Stir in the peanuts, then spread this caramel mixture evenly over the peanut butter layer.
6. Step 6: Warm the hot fudge sauce in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds. Transfer it to a zip-top bag, snip off a small corner, and drizzle the fudge artistically over the pie as a finishing touch.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, toast the peanuts lightly before adding to the caramel layer.
• You can substitute the pie crust with a homemade brownie crust for an even richer base.
• If you prefer, swap marshmallow fluff for homemade marshmallow cream or whipped cream for a lighter topping.
• Use salted peanuts to enhance the sweet and salty flavor balance.

Storage

Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To serve, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften slightly. For best texture, avoid freezing as the marshmallow layer may become chewy.

Brownie Base

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

Caramel Peanut Topping

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

Finishing Touch

• 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 press it evenly into a pie plate, making sure the edges are well fitted.
2. Make brownie batter: In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined. Gradually mix in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until the batter is smooth. Pour this mixture over the prepared pie crust, spreading evenly.
3. Bake brownie layer: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let it cool completely to room temperature before adding the toppings.
4. Prepare peanut butter fluff layer: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon, mix until the combination is creamy and smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
5. Make caramel peanut topping: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramels and milk. Microwave for about 1½ minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until fully melted and smooth. Stir in the peanuts, then carefully spread this warm mixture over the peanut butter fluff layer.
6. Drizzle hot fudge sauce: Warm the hot fudge sauce in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until pourable. Transfer the fudge to a Ziploc bag and snip off a small corner to create a piping tip. Drizzle the hot fudge generously over the caramel peanut topping for a finishing touch.

Notes

• Ensure the brownie layer is completely cooled before adding the peanut butter fluff to prevent melting and mixing of layers.
• You can substitute peanuts with chopped pecans or walnuts for a different nutty flavor.
• Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture; natural peanut butter may alter the consistency slightly.
• For easier caramel melting, chop caramels into smaller pieces before microwaving.
• Store the pie refrigerated and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
