S'mores pie

This is a yummy, gooey, chocolatey, and crunchy dessert that is sure to have people asking for seconds.  It has a graham crust, fudgy brownie filling and toasted marshmallow meringue topping.  Winning!

Makes 1- 9 inch pie plus a smaller 4 inch pie (haven't configured the recipe to exactly make one pie yet. oops)
Crust Ingredients
2 cups graham crumbs
3 Tablespoons sugar
a stick of melted butter

Filling ingredients
10 ounces dark chocolate
1 stick of butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
3/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons AP flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Meringue topping
3 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
7 ounces marshmallow fluff

Crust Instructions :
1) Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2) Mix all of the crust ingredients together (if it's still too dry, add another Tablespoon of melted butter)
3) Press the crust into a nonstick 9 inch pie pan and bake for 10 minutes or until it begins to brown.

Filling instructions:
1)Melt the butter and chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 15 second intervals, mixing between each 15 seconds.  This will gently melt the chocolate without urning it.
2) Mix in the sugar, then add the eggs, one at a time.
3) Fold in the flour and salt and mix until just combined
4) Pour into the pie pan with the baked crumbs and bake at 350 F for 50-60 minuted or until not jiggly in the middle.

For the Marshmallow topping:
1) Preheat the oven to 400 F.  Put the fluff in a medium bowl.
2) In another bowl, whip the egg whites with the salt until foamy, then add the sugar and whip to stiff peaks.
3) Add a little bit of the whipped whites and fold in gently, then add the rest of the whites in two additions.
4) Top the baked brownie with the marshmallow meringue  and then bake for 6-7 minutes or until the marshmallow meringue begins to brown.  You can make this a day ahead and just chill it overnight and remove from the freezer an hour before serving, or serve warm from the oven.  Enjoy!
