Ingredients

  • 14.1 oz package refrigerated pie dough
  • 2 bars chocolate, chopped into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers, keep half for topping
  • 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
  • Water (for sealing edges)
  • Chocolate syrup, for dipping
  • Marshmallow cream, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the pie dough and cut it into 4-inch squares or circles.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix the chopped chocolate, miniature marshmallows, and 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers.
  3. Step 3: Place a spoonful of the filling mixture onto the center of each dough piece.
  4. Step 4: Brush the edges of the dough with water, then fold over to create a pocket. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
  5. Step 5: Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle the remaining crushed graham crackers on top.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  7. Step 7: Let the hand pies cool slightly before serving. Offer chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream on the side for dipping.

Tips & Variations

  • Use dark or milk chocolate bars depending on your preference for sweetness.
  • For a more authentic s’mores flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract to the filling.
  • If you prefer, substitute the miniature marshmallows with marshmallow fluff inside the pies.
  • To make these gluten-free, use a pie dough made from gluten-free flour blends.

Storage

Store any leftover hand pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them longer, refrigerate for up to 4 days and reheat in a warm oven for 5-7 minutes to restore flakiness. These pies are best enjoyed fresh for the gooey texture.

How to Serve

A white plate holds six round, golden-brown hand pies stacked in a slightly overlapping way, each with crimped edges and sprinkled with light brown crumbs on top, giving a textured look; scattered around the pies on the plate are small crumbs and two small pieces of dark chocolate adding contrast to the warm tones, all set against a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Dough

  • 14.1 oz package refrigerated pie dough

Filling

  • 2 bars chocolate, chopped into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers (half reserved for topping)
  • Water (for sealing edges)

Topping and Dipping

  • 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
  • Chocolate syrup, for dipping
  • Marshmallow cream, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the pie dough: Roll out the refrigerated pie dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cutter or a cup, cut the dough into circles about 4-5 inches in diameter.
  3. Assemble the filling: Place a small handful of chopped chocolate, miniature marshmallows, and some crushed graham crackers in the center of each dough circle, making sure not to overfill.
  4. Seal the hand pies: Lightly brush the edges of the dough circles with water. Fold each circle in half to create a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal completely.
  5. Add topping: Brush the tops of the hand pies with melted salted butter and sprinkle the reserved crushed graham crackers on top to add a crunchy texture.
  6. Bake the hand pies: Place the prepared hand pies on the lined baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the hand pies to cool slightly after baking. Serve with chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream for dipping to add an extra dimension of indulgence.

Notes

  • For neater sealing, chill the hand pies for 10 minutes before baking.
  • You can substitute dark or milk chocolate bars based on your preference.
  • To make cleanup easier, line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Ensure the filling is not too hot when biting to avoid burns from melted chocolate and marshmallows.
  • These hand pies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated in a low oven for crispness.
