S’mores Hand Pies Graham Chocolate (Printable Format)

Pie crust, chocolate, and marshmallow combine for a nostalgic hand-held dessert with gooey centers.

# Needed Ingredients:

→ Dough and Crust

01 - 1 box refrigerated pie crust (2 sheets), brought to room temperature
02 - 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
03 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
05 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Filling

06 - 1/2 cup marshmallow crème
07 - 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
08 - 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or in chunks

→ Assembly

09 - 1 large egg, whisked (for egg wash)
10 - Coarse sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Roll both pie crust sheets out on a lightly floured surface. Using a 3-inch round cutter, stamp out 12 to 16 circles.
03 - 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.
04 - In a mixing bowl, blend marshmallow crème, mini marshmallows, chopped chocolate, and remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until evenly combined.
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.
06 - Brush tops of assembled pies with whisked egg. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
07 - Place baking sheet in oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
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.
09 - Allow hand pies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - Ensure pie crusts are at room temperature to prevent cracking when rolling and shaping.
