A brownie lovers dream come true; Ultimate Brownie Pie has a soft delicate crust, filled with a delicious fudgy, brownie dotted with three kinds of chips.
Happy Pie Day everyone! I wanted to get in on the fun and celebrate this “food holiday” since I too love pie. I thought for a few days about what kind of pie I wanted to share with you all today and well to be honest… I have been craving brownies.  So I thought there’s my answer, Ultimate Brownie Pie.
You know I love a good brownie and what better way to celebrate 3/14 than with a slice of brownie pie? At first I debated whether or not to do a crust, but in the end I decided it just isn’t pie without crust. So I opted for a super decadent candy bar crust. Think graham cracker crust, but with Peanut Butter Twix candy bars instead. This pie is truly a brownie lovers dream come true; a soft delicate crust, filled with a delicious fudgy, brownie dotted with three kinds of chips. I love that you can customize the chips and/or add nuts to create the pie of your dreams, we don’t all have to like the same things. I hope you’ll enjoy it a-la-mode, topped with fresh whipped cream or all alone; happy baking!
