S’mores Pop Tarts Recipe
First, make the pastry by combining flour and salt in a food processor. Next add in cubed, cold butter and pulse until small pebbles have formed. Slowly add in cold water until the dough is combined.
Roll the pastry dough into a ball, flatten it to a disc, and place it in a ziploc bag. Refrigerate the dough for at least an hour, but preferably overnight.
To make the s’mores pop tarts, cut the dough in half and place the second half back in the refrigerator. Roll out the pastry dough on a lightly floured surface until about 13 inches by 11 inches and 1/4 inch thick. Trim the sides so that they are even and straight. Then cut the dough into eight 5 by 3 inch rectangles.
Arrange four rectangles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and fill with two mini bars of chocolate (broken in half) and 6 mini marshmallows. Make sure to leave a 1/2-inch border around the outside. Place the second rectangle on top and use a fork to crimp the edges of the pop tart. Using a fork, poke a few holes on the top of each pop tart to allow steam to escape while baking.
Repeat with the second half of the pastry dough. Then place the baking sheets in the fridge and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Make an egg wash and brush each pop tart with the egg wash. Bake the pop tarts for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool before adding ganache.
To make the ganache, add the chocolate chips to a bowl. Then add the heavy cream to a measuring cup and heat for about 45 seconds (make sure to watch the cream and stop the microwave if it starts to bubble).
Pour the warm cream over the chocolate chips and allow to sit for 3 minutes. Then stir the cream and chocolate together until they become smooth. Frost the tops of the pop tarts with the ganache and sprinkle with marshmallow bits.
