Candy Bar Brownie Pie – this easy brownie pie recipe uses my favorite brownie recipe and is FULL of candy! Clean out your pantry and use all the candy to make this pie!
It’s my favorite day of the year…PI DAY!!! I look forward to this day all year long. Round food and pie all day long in honor of 3/14. (For those of you who don’t know, that’s March 14 which is 3/14 which is 3.14 which is the Math Nerd Holiday…Pi Day!)
If you know anything about me at all, you know that I’m a major math nerd. I taught high school algebra and geometry for a few years before I had Jordan. I majored in math in college and doing proofs was my relaxation sport of choice. (I’m not kidding in the slightest.)
You know in Hidden Figures when they mentioned “Non-Euclidean Geometry”? I knew what that was. In fact, it was my favorite college class. <–MAJOR NERD ALERT
Anyway, Jordan just rolls her eyes at me but she secretly loves that I love Pi Day because that means she gets pie. I even ask if I can bring it in for her class because, duh. PI DAY = EAT PIE IN SCHOOL.
Every year I go back and forth over what pie recipe to share. I have over 50 pie recipes on this blog, did you know that? Apple pie, berry pie, lemon pie, no bake pies, cream pies…I’ve got them all. But, hands down, one of my absolute favorites? Brownie Pie. I love brownie pie so hard, probably because brownies and pie often tie for my favorite dessert. Marry the two and oh boy, watch out. Dorothy’s coming at you with a fork.
There’s something about when a brownie bakes with a crust; the center of the brownie stays all gooey. There are no crusty edges (because I love gooey centers most) and the chocolate is evened out with the flavor of the buttery crust. While I was brainstorming pies for today I was also thinking about what to make my mom for her birthday. My mom LOVES chocolate. (Chocoholic is a family affliction.) I immediately thought of doing a twist on my brownie pie…but what kind of twist?
That’s when I remembered my Candy Bar Pie that always goes crazy whenever I share it. That one is basically a big blondie with candy in it, baked in a pie crust. It just so happens that the weekend before I made this pie I’d cleaned out my pantry and needed to use up some candy…so Candy Bar Brownie Pie was born.
