Skip the boxed pop tarts

Is it just me or do Pop Tarts feel nostalgic? Or maybe even like a guilty pleasure? If there wasn’t a S’mores Pop Tart in your 5th grade lunch box, then you were probably getting in the cafeteria snack line to buy one. 

But let’s skip the store bought ones and try these Homemade S’mores Pop Tarts instead. They’re way fresher than the kind you’ll get out of the box and have way more of the good stuff, the filling. 

Fluffy marshmallow cream, paired with fudgey, gooey chocolate smothered between a a flakey crust made from pie dough. You’re not going to believe how ridiculously delicious these Homemade S’mores Pop Tarts are and just how fun they are to make too!

Ingredients for homemade s'mores pop tarts

Pie Crusts - Pre-made pie dough will serve as the outer crust of our pop tart. If you've got a favorite homemade pie crust recipe, you can use that too.

Milk - I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk. You can use whole milk or heavy cream for a more decadent, indulgent flavor! This will be mixed with the chocolate to make our fudge filling.

Chocolate Chips - Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate for best results. This recipe is plenty sweet so the less sugary chocolate is a nice balance.

Butter - Butter will thicken the fudge layer.

Cocoa Powder - I used Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa Powder for a rich, chocolatey taste.

Marshmallow Fluff - Used as filling and as frosting. Marshmallow fluff is silky sweetness that you're going to love.

Graham Cracker - A little crushed graham cracker can be added to the fluff on top of your Pop Tart to check all of the boxes for including s'mores components.

Egg Wash - This is brushed on top of the pie dough to achieve a golden crust.

Kitchen equipment & tools needed

To make these Homemade S'mores Pop Tarts you will need a saucepan, knife, cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, whisk, rubber spatula, mixing bowl, baking sheet, parchment paper, spoon, and piping backs (optional).

How to make homemade s'mores pop tarts

This recipe has quite a few steps, but fear not! They're all fairly easy and any home baker can tackle it. These Homemade S'mores Pop Tarts are WORTH IT!

1. First, remove the pie crusts from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature. 

make fudge

1. Then, heat a sauce pot to medium heat and add almond milk and butter. Wait for it to bubble around the edges of the pan. 
2. Add in the chocolate chips and whisk until chocolate is completely dissolved. Add in cocoa powder and keep whisking. Once combined, remove the chocolate ganache from the heat and pour into a glass bowl. 
3. Put the chocolate ganache bowl into the freezer and allow it to harden for 20-30 minutes. 

prep crust

1. Next, preheat the oven to 400°F. 
2. Roll out the pre-made pie crust onto a cutting board and use a plastic knife to remove the sides of each circle to make a rectangle. Then, cut each pie crust rectangle into four equal rectangles (see reference photos below for guidance).
3. You should have 16 rectangles in total to make pairs from. 8 pairs to make 8 Pop Tarts.
4. Use a fork to poke each pie crust square 4-5 times. This is ventilation for baking. 
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the chocolate ganache from the freezer. It should now be a thicker texture.

fill s'mores pop tarts

1. On all 16 of the pie crust rectangles, you’ll alternate streaks of chocolate ganache filling and marshmallow fluff. Leave about ½” around the perimeter of each crust to ‘close’ the Pop Tart. 
2. Each pie crust rectangle receives 3 lines: chocolate, marshmallow, chocolate and then the paired pie crust rectangle receives marshmallow, chocolate, marshmallow. I used a rubber spatula to dollop the filling in the squares. A piping bag would also work well. Note: marshmallow filling is sticky. Spray spatula with cooking spray prior to using if necessary. 
3. After adding the s’mores filling to the pie crusts, sandwich them together like a Pop Tart with the filling on the inside. Use your fingers to push the perimeter of the crusts together.
4. Press the edges of the Pop Tart together using the back of a fork to ensure closure and to add the ridged detailing that store bought Pop Tarts have.

bake

1. Use a baking brush to spread egg white wash on each Pop Tart. This will help caramelize the outside.
2. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the pie crust is golden. Remove from the oven. 
3. If desired, line a frosting piping bag with crisco and spray grease. (why? because marshmallows are STICKY) Add ½ of the marshmallow fluff into the greased piping bag.
4. Pipe lines of marshmallow fluff back and forth on the top of each Pop Tart. Optionally add a dusting of crushed graham cracker on top of the fluff.
5. Turn the oven to broil and add the marshmallow fluff ‘frosted’ S’mores Pop Tarts back into the oven for 1-2 minutes. THEY WILL BURN QUICKLY SO WATCH CLOSELY. 
6. Remove from the oven and enjoy!
