This Reese’s Peanut Butter Marshmallow Cookie Pie is over the top delicious. Plus 3 questions that have changed my marriage and family.
Can you believe it’s almost Valentines Day? Time is suddenly flying by so fast and I am desperately trying to prepare little Valentines with our little one to give out in class. I’m not a crafty mom nor do I feel the pressure to have an over the top Valentine, but she loves crafts so we are doing a little something. Cade and I have always felt like we would rather work hard all year on being better about showing and sharing our love than making a huge deal and adding lots of pressure on one another for Valentines Day. We love making a special meal with the family and having an over the top dessert instead of spending gobs of money. Which is where this Reese’s Peanut Butter Marshmallow Cookie Pie comes in.
“Have mercy!” Quick, who said that on an old TGIF show? But really, this cookie pie is so amazingly delicious and rich. You could even add a scoop of ice cream like the millionaire skookie if you wanted to, but this was so good we didn’t want to add anything. And we do often just use Pillsbury cookie dough for time. We’ve been working really hard on how we communicate and show love lately and while making things together to devour together definitely helps us all relax and feel a little love it’s not the only way to do it.
Whenever Cade gets home from work I’ve found myself in the habit of asking, “How was your day?” to which he replies, “good, how was yours” or “pretty good, how about you?”, or there’s always, “meh, kinda long.” Well, that was a lame-o exchange. Haha, why do we even ask each other just to say the same ol’ thing? I started to feel like it was a little silly, and then I noticed it that my daughter and I do it after school too! Where’s the love? Where’s the real conversation and sharing?!
So, I decided to try an experiment. And then I forgot. Because that’s what happens to mom’s sometimes. We get a really good idea, generally in the shower because that’s where the best thinking happens, and then we get out and forget it.
So 2 weeks later I finally remembered and put it into action. Within 1 week we were having the best week ever and this experiment has totally changed our marriage and family.

Those questions provide opportunities to connect and communicate and aren’t all humans looking to connect in some way? Plus if you include a peanut butter cookie, half baked, topped with chocolate chips, Reese’s peanut butter cups, marshmallows and more peanut butter cookie dough and then bake it and drizzle with fudge I’m pretty sure you’ll find your spouse more than happy to snuggle a little more and the kids will be more willing to be kind. Try it.

Reese’s Marshmallow Cookies
Oh how we love cookies. These peanut butter cookies are soft and fluffy but they’ve also got marshmallows and Reese’s all over in them!
I felt most loved today when I locked eyes with this beautiful pie. Never before did I believe in fairytale loves until I saw this. Then, the birds and deer and raccoons all gathered outside of my window and started singing and flowers danced and… maybe I shouldn’t blog when I am starving since clearly I’m hallucinating. But OMG THIS PIE. My kinda love language.
Carrian, my friend, are the most genius wife and mother ever. I love this so much (both the family advice and the pie…holy melty!!!). Thank you for such a great and loving reminder. 😀
oh my goodness, I seriously could put you in my pocket and keep you forever and that’s not only because you’re tiny. You are the sweetest ever. The end.
Love your questions, so thoughtful and I can really see where it would make a difference in your family’s day! Totally love the idea of a cookie pie too!
thanks Gaby!
This pie look sooo delicous. You are such a good wife and mom!
I loved it, but totally could never make it through one slice. Definitely invite friends over so you don’t go crazy and eat the whole thing. haha
Haha..John Stamos on Full House!
That cookie pie looks CRAZY good. Happy Vday 🙂
lol! Best show ever. I looooved it as a kid.
Love this dessert and these questions. Seriously. What a great idea!
Thanks my friend! We need to play soon!
Love this post Carrian, very eye-opening. It’s so easy to just come home, and go on auto pilot without REALLY talking. And I REALLY love this pie, so many yummy things all packed into one pretty package!
thanks Nicole! I definitely didn’t hold back on the sugar. haha
I feel loved from you sharing this outrageously good looking pie with us today 🙂 Dessert is the key to my heart.
lol! Pie is definitely a love language. 😉
Great questions and a great pie. Lots of love there.
Thanks Erin!
I love those 3 marriage questions! I can see where it might be weird to ask them at first, but we definitely get stuck in the same “how was your day” question rut!
About this cookie pie. I read the title and before I even clicked, my eyeballs popped out of my face. I seriously can’t handle the delicious here. pinned!
oh gosh, my aunt used to tease me she was popping her eyeballs out when she would take her contacts out. I was so little and it freaked me out! Totally made me lol when I saw your comment.
