Peppermint Bark Fudge Pie

Earlier this week, I was lying in bed late at night thinking (slash stressing, slash panicking) about my holiday to-do-list. If you are like me, this time of year your mind runs on a continuous loop around teacher gifts, cookie trays, class parties, elves, family gifts, and school performances.  But just as I was lying in bed with visions of sugar plum fairies stomping in my head, I had a sweet memory just float right in.  I started thinking about what Christmas mornings used to be like when I was little.  What I wouldn’t give to have one more of those Christmas lunches with all of those family members that we’ve since lost.  Wait, wait, don’t let me get sappy, let’s move quickly to the chocolate pie stuff.

Okay, so one great memory of those Christmas mornings was that my grandmother always brought outrageously delicious pies to our house as part of our Christmas day lunch.  She brought lemon pies, pecan pies, and of course classic southern fudge pies.  That fudge pie you guys, was absolutely legendary.

So in the spirit of the Christmas season and my sweet Nana, I decided to bake fudge pie, but this time with a whimsical holiday twist.  We added one simple ingredient (hint, *kisses) to my Nana’s old recipe, and turned classic fudge pie into Peppermint Bark Fudge Mini Pies. OH MY, YOU MUST TRY THIS RECIPE!!

I think you will fall in love with these little pies because they are EASY, great for feeding a crowd, and absolutely delicious.  If you serve these babies up warm with peppermint ice cream, whipped cream, and a few sprinkles on top, like my Nana, your recipe will be one that your family will always remember around the holidays.

We hope you love this holiday recipe and send feedback and photos of your pies!  For more holiday dessert ideas, continue through the holiday section of the blog, and be sure to follow us @piecrustandpixiedust on Instagram.
