You know those desserts that disappear before you even set them down? That’s exactly what happens with these Mini S’mores Pies—every. single. time. I first made them for my niece’s birthday party, thinking they’d just be a cute little snack. Nope. The kids (and let’s be real, the adults too) swarmed the tray like seagulls on fries. Now they’re my secret weapon for potlucks, movie nights, or when I need a quick win in the kitchen.

Here’s the magic: you take that classic campfire s’mores flavor—gooey marshmallows, melty chocolate, crispy graham cracker—but bake it into adorable individual pies with a fudgy brownie base. The best part? They come together in about 30 minutes with mostly pantry staples. No campfire required, though you might want to light some candles just for the vibe.

Perfect for Any Occasion

Ingredients for Mini S’mores Pies

Okay, here’s the beautiful part – you probably have most of this stuff in your pantry already! Just grab:

1 package (18 oz) brownie mix – Use your favorite brand (I’m partial to the fudge-style ones)
8 store-bought mini graham cracker crusts – They usually come in packs of 6, so grab two if you want extras
1 cup mini marshmallows – The tiny ones melt perfectly
¾ cup chocolate chips – Semi-sweet is my go-to, but milk chocolate works too!

That’s it! No fuss, no fancy ingredients – just pure s’mores magic waiting to happen.

How to Make Mini S’mores Pies

Alright, let’s get these little bites of joy in the oven! The process couldn’t be simpler, but I’ll walk you through each step to make sure they turn out perfect every time.

Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Batter

First things first – preheat your oven to whatever temperature your brownie mix package says (usually 350°F). While that’s heating up, mix up your brownie batter following the package directions. Here’s my secret: add just a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients – it makes the chocolate flavor sing!

Line up your mini graham cracker crusts on a baking sheet (trust me, this makes life easier)
Fill each crust about ¾ full with brownie batter – they need room to rise!
Sprinkle those chocolate chips evenly over each pie – don’t be shy!
Bake according to your brownie mix’s time (usually 15-20 minutes) until the centers are just set

Step 4: Adding the Marshmallows

Now for the magic moment! Pull those beauties out of the oven and immediately top with mini marshmallows. Pop them back in for just 1-2 minutes – I mean it, set a timer! You want them lightly golden, not charcoal briquettes. Watch them like a hawk – they go from perfect to burnt in seconds.

Let them cool for at least 10 minutes (if you can resist) before digging in. The marshmallows will firm up slightly but stay gloriously gooey inside. Warning: You may need to make a double batch – these disappear fast!

Tips for Perfect Mini S’mores Pies

Want pro-level results every time? Here are my hard-won secrets:

Let them cool completely if you want clean slices – I know it’s tough to wait, but that 10-minute rest makes all the difference
Use a kitchen torch for evenly toasted marshmallows without risking burnt edges from the oven
Press marshmallows lightly into the warm brownie so they stick when you take that first heavenly bite
Line your baking sheet with parchment – sometimes that marshmallow topping gets a little enthusiastic!

Variations to Try

Oh, the fun you can have with these Mini S’mores Pies! Here are my favorite twists:

Swap chocolate chips for peanut butter chips – it’s like a Reese’s cup had a baby with a s’more!
Use flavored marshmallows – the strawberry ones turn these into little pink clouds of happiness
Crush up some peppermint patties instead of chocolate chips for a holiday version – just wow

Honestly? The only limit is your imagination (and maybe your pantry). Go wild!

Serving and Storing Mini S’mores Pies

Here’s the truth – these little pies are best served warm, when the chocolate is still oozy and the marshmallows are at peak goo-factor. If you’ve got leftovers (ha!), pop them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. A quick 10-second zap in the microwave brings back that fresh-from-the-oven magic!

FAQs About Mini S’mores Pies

Got questions? I’ve got answers! Here are the ones I get asked most about these little treats:

Can I use homemade graham cracker crust? Absolutely! I love the store-bought ones for convenience, but homemade is just as delicious. Just pre-bake your crust for 8 minutes before adding the brownie batter to keep it crisp.

Can these be frozen? You bet! Freeze them before adding marshmallows. When you’re ready, thaw at room temp, add marshmallows, and pop under the broiler for 30 seconds.

How do I make them gluten-free? Simple! Use gluten-free brownie mix and either gluten-free graham crackers for your crust or buy GF mini crusts (they do exist!). Same amazing taste, no gluten worries.
