Peanut Butter S'Mores Turnovers

Yes, these are as good as they look:) They are a gourmet S'Mores. I loved them, Ben loved them, Caden liked them and Noah licked the marshmallow off and called it good. I think they have such a fun presentation and are just something different. Try different things like instead of a chocolate bar, use Nutella...I am so doing this next time! Anyway, hope you like them!
The layers...1/4 of a graham cracker, then a chocolate bar (thieve them from your kids Trick-or-treat stash), then the peanut butter. I don't think I put enough PB on mine so make sure you do the full 1 TBS.
Crimp the edges with a fork and don't forget the slash marks to let the steam out.
How pretty are these?!
Look at that goodness! YUM! Check out Recipe Girl's blog for her pictures, they look amazing!

Peanut Butter S'Mores Turnovers

1 box Puff Pastry (2 sheets), thawed
3 whole graham crackers, gently broken into fourths
9 small milk chocolate bars (I used Hershey’s .49 oz. bars)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
small bowl of water
1 egg whisked with 1 Tbsp. water (to make egg wash)
1/2 cup jarred Marshmallow Creme (or Fluff)


1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray.


2. Lay Puff Pastry on cutting board. Working with one sheet of Puff Pastry at a time, cut on three folds, creating 3 rectangles (about 3″ x 10″ each). Cut each 3 x 10 rectangle in half. You’ll have 6 pieces to work with for each sheet of Puff Pastry.


3. Assemble turnovers: Lay graham cracker on 1/2 of each square, top with chocolate that has been cut down to match the length of the graham cracker. Scoop a scant 1 Tbsp. peanut butter on top of each chocolate bar.


4. Working with one turnover at a time, wet edges of Puff Pastry and fold (over) in half to meet opposite edges. Gently push edges together to stick; use fork to seal edges together and create ridged pattern. Repeat with each turnover until all are sealed up. Gently move sealed turnovers to baking sheet with a small spatula. (At this point, the turnovers may be refrigerated for up to an hour before baking- cover baking sheet with plastic wrap- when ready to bake, remove from refrigerator and continue with instructions).


5. Brush turnovers lightly with egg wash, then use a sharp knife to cut two small slits into the top of each turnover.


6. Bake 15 minutes, or until turnovers are puffed and golden. Remove from oven. Let cool for 5 minutes. Scoop marshmallow creme into a zip baggie (don’t zip). Microwave for 8 seconds to soften. Zip bag and snip a small piece off of the corner of the bag. Drizzle marshmallow onto the top of each turnover. Serve immediately.

Yield: 12 Turnovers


Cooking Tips
*Use any sort of chocolate that sounds good to you. Just cut it down or break it into pieces that fit on top of a 1/4 of a whole graham cracker. (Leftover mini Hershey’s bars from Halloween work great!)
*I tested this recipe with real marshmallows and they didn’t work as well as the marshmallow creme.
*This recipe can be easily cut in half- just thaw out one sheet of Puff Pastry.
*These are best served while warm & gooey, but they can certainly be eaten any time!

Those look delicious. I will have to try those. I am actually going to the store to get white chocolate to make those candy corn bark things. I am going to be a large pregnant women.
