Add the Topping: 1. Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the chocolate filling. 2. Scatter miniature marshmallows over nuts, covering the surface of the pie.
Broil the Pie: 1. Preheat oven's broiler. 2. Place pie under broiler for 1-2 minutes until marshmallows are toasted and golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
