Hey girl, I am so glad you stopped by so we can talk about this easy grasshopper pie recipe.
Every Christmas growing up, my aunt would make grasshopper pie and I couldn’t get enough. Turns out that grasshopper pie was way easier to make than I thought.
Now that I am a mom, I want to share as many treats from the past as possible with my kids, including this easy grasshopper pie. For the record, 2 of my kids love it and the other 2 don’t like mint, so they pass on it.
Easy grasshopper pie isn’t just for Christmas, though. Since it is a cool and no-bake treat, this pie is dynamite during the summer too.
Fun fact, the grasshopper cocktail dates back to the 1920s.
If you love the mint and chocolate combo, then this easy grasshopper pie was made for you! Let’s get no-bake baking!
