Enjoying s'mores means having all the supplies on hand when you are seated around the fire, but the Edwards S’mores Crème Pie aims to expand the times when you can enjoy the quintessential summer dessert flavor. The pie features a vanilla cookie crumble crust that has been filled with a layer of HERSHEY'S chocolate creme filling along with some cookie pieces. The treat is finished with toasted marshmallow meringue and a chocolate drizzle.
