S'mores Pop Tarts Recipe
- 9 (4-3/4-by-2-1/2-inch) whole graham crackers (1 sleeve)
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 2 sticks (8 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup milk (not nonfat)
- Flour, for rolling the dough
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- About 1 cup marshmallow creme, such as Kraft Jet-Puffed
- 6 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped
- Place the graham crackers in a resealable plastic bag, press out the air, and seal, leaving about 1 inch unsealed.
- Using a rolling pin, roll over the crackers until they are fine, uniform crumbs (you should have about 1 1/4 cups).
- Whisk the flour, graham cracker crumbs, and salt in a large bowl until combined.
- Add the butter and toss with your fingers until well coated in the flour mixture.
- Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until reduced to pea-size pieces.
- Whisk the egg yolks and milk in a small bowl until combined.
- Add the egg-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-by-5-inch) rectangles.
- Wrap each tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 hours.
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- Lightly dust a 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.
- Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, trim the dough to a 10-1/2-by-9-inch rectangle.
- Cut that into 6 equal rectangles (each about 3 1/2 inches wide by 4 1/2 inches tall).
- Using a flat spatula, transfer the rectangles to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator.
- Whisk the egg and water in a small bowl until evenly combined; set aside.
- Roll out the second dough portion to the same dimensions as the first, trim, and cut into 6 rectangles.
- Remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and brush a thin coating of the egg wash over 3 of the dough rectangles.
- Spread 2 rounded tablespoons of marshmallow creme onto each of these rectangles, leaving a 3/4-inch border.
- Place 3 nonchilled rectangles over the marshmallow creme, press on the edges to adhere, and push down gently on the filling to slightly flatten.
- Using a fork dipped in flour, crimp the edges of the tarts.
- Repeat with the remaining dough rectangles and creme.
- Cut two 2-inch slits to form an X in the center of each tart.
- Place in the refrigerator until the dough has stiffened slightly, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- When the dough is ready, bake until golden brown and the marshmallow creme has puffed, about 20 to 23 minutes (the marshmallow creme will deflate as it cools).
- Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
- While the tarts are cooling, bring a small saucepan filled with about 1 inch of water to a simmer over high heat; once simmering, turn off the heat.
- Place the chocolate in a dry, heatproof bowl large enough to sit over the water without touching it.
- Set the bowl over the saucepan and stir until the chocolate is completely melted, about 5 minutes.
- Set the wire rack with the tarts on it over a baking sheet.
- Using a spoon, drizzle each tart with melted chocolate.
- Eat right away, or let the chocolate set before serving.
