S'mores Pie |Cooking With Amanda

Confession time. I've never been super in love with chocolate. I know, I know - you're thinking how crazy I must be. Like how can I possibly be someone who blogs about pies and sweets and doesn't love chocolate. Well in my defense, I have met others like myself. There aren't many of us, but we are out there lurking among the regular chocolate lovers of the world, ordering lemon desserts and avoiding M&M's like the plague.

Surprisingly enough, every now and then I will get a craving for a piece of dark chocolate. I guess all that chocolate-hating has made me a little bitter. Haha, see what I did there? Ok, maybe a little too much.

Alright next confession, I've only been camping once and it was terrible. I won't go into too many details but it involved over 100 degree temperatures and a really, really long drive.

Ok where am I going with all this? Despite being an alien chocolate-hater and being slightly scared of ever going camping again, I really, really like s'mores! What! Even though camping freaks me out, when I think of the possibility of making s'mores around a camp fire, I get a weird nostalgic feeling about how fun camping could be… maybe. Just maybe.

But s'mores man, life changing! Ooey, gooey marshmallows smeared on graham crackers with a little of chocolate, I'm in!

While it may be camping season everywhere else in the US, it is way too hot right now in Texas. So I had to figure out another way to get my dreams of ooey, gooey marshmallows! Enter s'mores pie. Great things about this pie include that you can choose the sweetness of your chocolate and no campfire is needed to achieve marshmallow dreams! Rejoice!

I used a combination of milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate, but you can go all milk chocolate or mix in some dark, totally up to you! Now go make this pie and get a taste of the campfire without all the hassle!
