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!
This looks delicious! Thank you for sharing this recipe
Thank you Katie!
This pie is pure melty goodness! I love those three questions. I think they are applicable is several occasions. Even though I’m not married, I can’t wait to use them to make my most important relationships stronger.
Laura, that’s exactly how I feel. Even if you’re not married I think the point is to be more observant in how we are communicating and watching out for each other and our burdens. How smart to use it in every day life. I totally am trying to as well
I absolutely love those questions (and, the pie is nothing to scoff at either). This is my first time here and I was sent to you through a post I read over at ShanaNorris.net. I’m so glad I clicked over to this. This is so wonderful that I’m totally stealing your questions for use in my own home.
At the dinner table, my family takes turns asking each other about our least favorite part of the day and our favorite part of the day. The kids really respond well to it. I just might add “When did you feel loved today?” to that part of the family discussion.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m definitely following your site now!
Thanks Renee! We still do the least and best part of the day a few days of the week. It’s kinda of nice to hear what was awesome that day.
First of this pie… oh my. Secondly, I love the idea of asking 3 questions every day. With the baby coming next month I don’t want to loose sight of my husband and his needs/what’s going on with him. I’m going to start doing this today! Thank you! 🙂
Hooray for baby though!!!!!! If you’re already aware of watching out for your relationship I think that’s half the battle
Love your 3 questions! Thanks for providing the inspiration and for sharing this gooey peanut buttery treat!
Thanks Ashley!
I love you. And your ideas. And your pie. That’s all. XO, R
Oh my goodness! You are the stinking best. mwah!

First, that pie looks AMAZING! I think I’ll make it for Valentine’s dessert!
Second, the best ideas DO happen in the shower!
And third, I LOVE those questions! I am will be implementing them ASAP!

You know, you are just supremely awesome!! During dinner we ask, “What was your highlight today?” It been great for us, but I felt like we needed more, something to create a greater connection. Especially, right when the boys get home from school. Thanks for sharing. This will help us from morning til night.
