    S’mores Hand Pies (Campfire Vibes, Zero Tent Required)

    S’mores are great. S’mores you can eat on your couch? Even better.

    These hand pies pack all the campfire classics—chocolate, marshmallow, graham cracker crumbs—into a flaky, golden crust. Baked, not fried. Messy in the best way. Eat them warm with a glass of milk.

    Ingredients

    Makes 8 hand pies.

    • 2 refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)
    • ½ cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
    • 8 large marshmallows (or 1 cup mini marshmallows)
    • ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs (plus more for topping)
    • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
    • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for sparkle)

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Step 1: Preheat Oven

    1. Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Step 2: Cut the Dough

    1. Unroll pie crusts. Use a 4-inch round cutter (or a wide mug) to cut 8 circles from each crust (16 total).

    Step 3: Fill the Pies

    1. Place 8 circles on the baking sheet. Sprinkle each with graham cracker crumbs.
    2. Top with chocolate chips and 1 large marshmallow (or mini marshmallows).

    Step 4: Seal and Crimp

    1. Place another dough circle on top. Press edges with a fork to seal. Cut small slits on top for steam.

    Step 5: Egg Wash and Bake

    1. Brush tops with beaten egg. Sprinkle with coarse sugar and extra graham crumbs.
    2. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and marshmallow is oozing.

    Step 6: Cool Slightly and Devour

    1. Let cool 5 minutes (the filling is lava-hot). Serve warm.

    Room temp: Keeps 2 days in an airtight container. Reheat in oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to re-crisp.

    Freezer (unbaked): Freeze assembled pies on a tray, then bag. Bake from frozen at 375°F for 20-22 minutes.

    Freezer (baked): Freeze up to 2 months. Reheat at 350°F for 8-10 minutes.

    Microwave warning: Just don’t. Soggy crust = sad s’mores.
