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