S’mores PopTart Recipe

A made from scratch S'mores PopTart makes a great treat for breakfast, but we really love these as a little after school treat! The pastry is filled with graham cracker crumbs and stuffed with Hershey's chocolate and plenty of marshmallow fluff. A must make!

Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 9 whole graham crackers
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold butter cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup whole milk

To assemble the tarts:

  • Flour for rolling the dough
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon water

For the filling:

  • 1 cup marshmallow cream approximately
  • 2 Hershey's chocolate bars

For the topping:

Instructions

For the dough:

  • Place the graham crackers in a resealable plastic bag and smash them with a rolling pin until you have fine crumbs. Alternately, blitz them in a food processor.
  • Whisk the flour, graham cracker crumbs, and salt in a large bowl until combined. Add the butter and, using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until you have pea-sized pieces.
  • Whisk the egg yolks and milk in a small bowl until combined. Add the egg and milk mixture to the flour mixture and mix with your hands until a dough forms (it will be a little sticky).
  • Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and shape into 2 6 x 5-inch rectangles. Wrap each tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 hours.

To assemble the tarts:

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll 1 dough portion out into a rough 12-by-10-inch rectangle, rotating the dough and reflouring the surface and rolling pin often to prevent the dough from sticking.
  • Trim the dough to a 10-1/2 by 9 inch rectangle with a pizza cutter or sharp knife and cut into 6 rectangles. Transfer each piece of dough to the prepared pan with a spatula, leaving about 2 inches of space between each. Place in the refrigerator.
  • Roll out the second dough portion to the same dimensions as the first, trim, and cut into 6 rectangles.
  • Whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl to form an egg wash.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and brush a thin coating of the egg wash over the dough rectangles.
  • Break the chocolate bars into 6 small pieces and place a piece in the center of each of the chilled dough rectangles. Drop about 2 tablespoons of marshmallow cream over the chocolate.
  • Top with the un-chilled dough rectangles and press down slightly to seal the edges. Use a fork to crimp the edges. Cut a small X in the top of each poptart to vent.
  • Return to the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Bake until golden brown and the marshmallow cream has puffed up, about 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. The marshmallow cream will deflate as it cools.
  • To make the topping, melt the chocolate chips in short bursts in the microwave, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth and melted.
  • Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag. Drizzle the chocolate lightly over the poptarts.
  • Eat immediately or let the chocolate set before serving.

Notes

Marshmallow Fluff: We use marshmallow cream or fluff in this recipe. I haven't tested it with regular marshmallows. 
Chocolate Topping: We do love the extra drizzle of chocolate over the top, but it does make for a messier experience and, if you plan to reheat these later, things get very melty. I would recommend only drizzling the chocolate over any poptarts that you plan to eat immediately unless you're happy to enjoy them cold later.
Storing: These will last a couple days at room temp or in the fridge for 4-5 days.
Reheating: I wouldn't recommend popping these in the toaster, as you might end up with quite a mess. We reheat these in a 250 degree oven for about 5 minutes, just long enough to warm things up and get them gooey again.
