Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups (162 g) oreo cookies
- 0.25 cup (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 0.75 cup (88.5 g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup (62.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 jar (7 oz / 198 g) marshmallow fluff
- 1 cup (258 g) creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dry roasted salted peanuts, roughly chopped
- 0.25–0.5 cup caramel sauce, homemade or store-bought
- 2–4 tbsps chocolate or hot fudge sauce, homemade or store-bought
Instructions
- Crust Creation: Pulverize Oreo cookies and merge with melted butter, pressing the crumbly mixture firmly across the entire pie dish to form a robust foundation.
- Brownie Base Construction: Whisk wet ingredients until smooth, then gently fold in dry components to craft a silky chocolate batter with rich, deep essence.
- Initial Baking Process: Transfer the chocolate batter into the cookie crust, maintaining an even layer, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for approximately 25-30 minutes until a slightly puffy texture emerges with a delicate, set center.
- Cooling and Stabilization: Allow the brownie layer to cool completely, creating a stable platform for subsequent layers and preventing moisture integration.
- Creamy Filling Composition: Thoroughly blend marshmallow fluff and peanut butter into a smooth, decadent spread that harmonizes with the chocolate base.
- Layer Assembly and Garnishing: Distribute the marshmallow-peanut butter mixture evenly across the cooled brownie, then sprinkle chopped peanuts for textural complexity and drizzle caramel and chocolate sauces in artistic patterns.
- Final Preparation: Refrigerate briefly to set layers and intensify flavor melding, then slice and serve this luxurious Snickers-inspired dessert.
Notes
- Crust Consistency: Press Oreo crumbs firmly and evenly to prevent crumbling and ensure a sturdy base that holds the pie’s rich layers together.
- Baking Precision: Watch the brownie layer closely during baking to achieve a fudgy center without overcooking, which can lead to a dry, crumbly texture.
- Cooling Technique: Allow the brownie base to cool completely before adding subsequent layers to prevent moisture separation and maintain distinct flavor profiles.
- Drizzle Artistry: Apply chocolate and caramel sauces with a light hand, creating elegant swirls that enhance both visual appeal and flavor complexity.
