Ingredients

  • 1 prepared graham cracker crust store-bought or home-made
  • cup milk
  • 16 large marshmallows or 2 cups small 140 grams
  • 6 Hershey Milk Chocolate Bars with Almonds somewhere around 9 oz
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Optional Topping

  • 2 cups freshly whipped sweetened cream or whipped topping

Instructions

  • In a double boiler or a bowl set over a pot of water, combine the milk and marshmallows. Heat, stirring occasionally to mash marshmallows, until marshmallows are partially melted. Add Hershey Bars and stir often until everything is melted. Remove from heat and let cool completely (about an hour)
  • In a bowl (preferably metal), whip the cream until fluffy. Stir in the vanilla. Fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture then put all in the pie shell.
  • Chill for 4 hours or even better, overnight. If you are using a smallish store-bought graham cracker crust, it may not all fit.

Notes

Quick Notes
*Homemade Graham Crust: Mix together 1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, 6 tablespoons melted butter. Press into a greased 9 inch glass pie plate and bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Cool. If you'd like to add freshly sweetened whipped cream, whip 1 cup of cream until soft peaks form, then add 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar and whip just until peaks are stiff. Stir or beat in the vanilla. Pipe around edges or spread over the top.
