Ingredients

  • Refrigerated pie crust: Offers flaky results without fuss look for brands with butter for the richest flavor
  • Graham cracker crumbs: Add that signature s’mores crunch freshen up old crumbs in a hot pan for a minute to renew their toasty aroma
  • Marshmallow crème: Melts smooth and extra gooey double check the jar for freshness so it is not dried out
  • Mini marshmallows: Build puffy texture I always keep a bag in the pantry just for recipes like this
  • Chopped chocolate or chocolate chunks: Melt best with real chocolate use high-quality bars for a deeper flavor than chips
  • Egg wash: Ensures a shiny golden-brown crust always beat your egg thoroughly for even brushing
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling: Adds sparkle and crunch this is optional but so much fun

Instructions

Prepare the Crust Circles:
Use a sharp 3 inch round cutter to stamp out circles from each softened pie crust sheet get as many as you can scraps can be rerolled once
Crumb the Bottom Layer:
Stir together graham crumbs with sugar dip half of your dough circles first in butter then into the crumb mixture make sure both sides are well coated so the graham flavor comes through
Mix the Filling:
In a small bowl combine marshmallow crème mini marshmallows chopped chocolate and the remaining sugar fold together gently to keep the fluffiness do not overmix
Fill and Top the Pies:
Spoon a heaping tablespoon of filling in the center of every graham-crusted circle spread gently but do not go too close to the edge
Seal the Hand Pies:
Brush the other dough rounds with melted butter and crumb mix then lay on top of filled rounds use a fork to crimp edges all the way around sealing tightly so nothing leaks
Apply Egg Wash and Sugar:
Brush each pie top with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a golden crispy finish
Bake to Perfection:
Place pies on a parchment-lined sheet in an oven preheated to 450 degrees bake 10 to 15 minutes or until deeply golden rotating pan once for even browning
Finish with Toasted Marshmallow:
If you like extra marshmallow drizzle a little marshmallow crème on each baked pie then quickly toast with a kitchen torch or under the broiler for just a few seconds do not walk away
Cool and Serve:
Allow pies to cool on a rack for at least five minutes so the filling sets up slightly enjoy warm or pack for later

Chocolate is my top pick here I always use real dark chocolate which makes the marshmallow pop It was my daughter’s birthday when I first baked these and everyone circled the oven for second helpings

Storage and Leftover Tips

These pies keep up to three days in a sealed container at room temperature If you want to store them longer freeze after baking then warm in a low oven for a fresh out of the oven taste Avoid the fridge as that dries the pastry

Easy Ingredient Swaps

Out of mini marshmallows Grab large ones and cut into pieces If no graham crackers use plain digestive biscuits or vanilla cookies Toasted hazelnuts or peanut butter chips are delicious stirred into the filling for a twist

Perfect Ways to Serve This

Pile warm pies on a platter for summer gatherings Stack a few in a lunchbox for a special treat Dress up dessert plates with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side

Preparation Steps

Step 01

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 02

Roll both pie crust sheets out on a lightly floured surface. Using a 3-inch round cutter, stamp out 12 to 16 circles.

Combine graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a shallow dish. Brush half of the pie crust rounds with melted butter and press buttered sides into the crumb mixture. Place coated rounds crumb-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 04

In a mixing bowl, blend marshmallow crème, mini marshmallows, chopped chocolate, and remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until evenly combined.

Step 05

Spoon approximately 1 heaping tablespoon of filling onto the center of each coated pie round. Brush edges lightly with water if needed. Cover with remaining rounds, coated side up. Gently press around edges to seal, and crimp with a fork for a firm closure.

Step 06

Brush tops of assembled pies with whisked egg. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

Step 07

Place baking sheet in oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.

Step 08

For a toasted effect, top each hand pie with a dab of marshmallow crème while still warm and briefly toast using a kitchen torch or under the broiler.

Step 09

Allow hand pies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
