I hate when I have to go to a potluck and the people in charge tell me what to bring.  I completely understand why they do this -- who wants to end up eating only brownies for dinner? -- but  seriously!  I am a baker.  A baker, people!  So when Melanie had her class potluck at school and I got assigned fruit or vegetables...well, you can imagine my disappointment.  

I decided I need to be a bad, bad girl, ignore the powers that be, and bring pie instead.

Pie,  you ask?  The Fabulous Baker girl made a pie?  

I know what you're thinking.  I still really don't like fruit pie.  If I've said it once, I've said it a million times.  Fruit is fruit.  Chocolate is dessert.  Therefore, when I found this recipe on another blog for Smores Pie, I knew I had to try it.  It seemed like a perfect, authority-defying, addition to our potluck.

Here are some comments I received about this pie:

"I think I'm in love.  If I could, I would run off and marry it!"

"This pie means business!"  (Not sure what this means, but it sounded good.)

"This may just be my new favorite food."

Want to know a little secret?  All these comments came from my family.  

Because the pie never made it to the potluck.  

We took watermelon instead.  

So much for defying authority...

WARNING:  This pie is very, very rich.  A small piece will suffice...for most of you.  For some of you, you will go back for a second piece.  That happened at our house.  I'm not naming names, but, honey, you know who you are.

3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup salted butter (1 stick)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 7oz container of Marshmallow Creme6 Regular sized Hershey Bars, broken into pieces (I think I used about 7 1/2)

Preheat oven to 350°.  Spray a 9″ pie pan with baking spray.

Beat butter and sugar together until combined.  Add egg and vanilla.  On low add flour, graham cracker crumbs and baking powder.  Divide the dough in half.  Press half the dough in the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie pan.

Spread Marshmallow Creme on top of the crust.  Top that with the broken chocolate.

Lay the remaining half of dough on a sheet of waxed paper. Cover with another piece and roll out to a 9-inch circle.  Take off the top piece of waxed paper. Carefully flip the crust over on top of the pie.  Peel of paper.  Pinch top and bottom crust together to seal.

Bake for at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the crust is light brown and set.
