Yep, I went there. And it was probably the best idea I’ve had in the kitchen in a very, very long time.
The idea is pretty simple really—just stuffing marshmallow creme and chocolate chips inside a homemade toaster pastry—and I can’t believe it actually took me this long to do! They really do taste just like s’more pop tarts and are actually quite simple to make.
You need to get on the pop tart bandwagon…stat.
A couple weeks ago I actually went and bought a toaster pastry press from Williams-Sonoma. Adam’s mom had graciously given me a gift card and, naturally, it was burning a hole in my pocket email. When it arrived, I saw that although it was very pretty, you definitely don’t need one to make homemade pop tarts! The only thing this pastry press really does is give you scalloped edges. You could totally just cut your pastry dough into rectangles using a knife.
But you didn’t hear that from me.
Hello marshmallow creme, I love you. I like you on graham crackers with peanut butter, in these pop tarts and right off the spoon.
You complete me.
Do yourself a favor and make these this weekend.
Homemade S’more Pop Tarts
makes about 10 pop tarts
Ingredients:
1 recipe flaky pie dough
1 cup marshmallow cream
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 egg, lightly beaten with 2 tsp warm water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Roll out pie dough on a floured surface to 1/8th inch thick and using a toaster pastry cutter or a knife, cut into six inch rectangles. Place rectangles on a lined baking sheet.
Stuff marshmallow creme inside a small plastic bag, seal and snip off the tip. Pipe two inches of creme in the centers of half of the pastry squares, making sure you leave a half inch around so you can seal pop tarts. Next to the marshmallow creme blobs, place a line of five or six chocolate chips.
Brush egg wash around corners of rectangles and then place a plain pastry piece of top, pressing down gently to seal. Brush tops with more egg wash.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden.
Time:
30 minutes, not including time to make dough

You’re a genius!! I love all of your pop tart recipes… honestly, if yours were on the shelves, Kellogg’s would go out of business!
My thoughts exactly.
Especially with pictures like those…Jenna you REALLY should market your food!
This is awesome!!! ? ? ?-Katrina
Pop Tarts are so fun & comforting! I love that you s’mored them
Oh my!!! That looks amazing. Must. Make. Now!
These were my favorite pop tarts growing up!!
Yum! The smores flavor was always a favorite!
You must have read our minds! We’ve been thinking about making homemade pop tarts for a while but couldn’t decide on a flavor! Fruit!? Chocolate?! And now…s’mores!! We’re sold.
soooooo…i don’t love marshmallows (!!!) but i can pack the s’mores away like a full-grown man. these are going to be trouble!
We must be on the same wavelength — I made blueberry “poptarts” last week. But I want smores! Yum!
You’re making me crave marshmallow fluff! Now I wish I had some to put in my oats this morning!
I made a version of these a couple weeks ago and it didn’t turn out so great. I used graham crackers marshmallows and chocolate and wrapped them in puff pastry and the marshmallow literally melted out of the pastry. Any suggestions on what made mine turn out so different from yours?
Now THIS is fantastic! I used to be such a pop tart fan when I was little. I was more of the apple cinnamon and strawberry pop tart kind of girl, but there’s nothing wrong with s’mores! What an awesome idea to make your own!
those look so good!!!!!
Your recipes are always so genuis!
I BOW DOWN TO YOU.
my bf and daughter would seriously fall over and die if I pulled these out of the oven!!! they go crazy for smores poptarts!!! these look amazing!
*why in the world is kraft advertising NEW SHATTERPROOF JAR? Did people have problems with a glass jar before? so strange.
I’ve been talking about making homemade poptarts forever, but still haven’t gotten around to it
But there is no way I am putting these off! Oh myy, they look delicious!
AMAZING!!!! Love at first bite , I know that for sure ; ) yum!!
As a kid, pop-tarts were not a popular thing in our house. But I think I went through a long phase of eating those “toaster streudels”.
awesome. My mom never let me have s’more poptarts growing up. We always had to choose strawberry because…well, strawberry is a fruit and therefore, “healthier”…oh the early 90s!!!! Needless to say her version of “healthy” has changed over the years
And now…I get to have my OWN s’more poptarts…though probably for dessert instead of breakfast! 
love,
cathy b.
I have wanted to try home made pop tarts for FOREVER and these look like the ones to try!! I also made the Gaullois Sandwich from the other day and my husband and I loved it! Keep the delicious recipes coming!
Wow, these look absolutely sinful. But it’s always nice to know what is going into your food…it’s difficult to say that of an actually poptart brand poptart.
after reading Caitlin’s last post, I havent stopped thinking about smores!! This looks like heaven in a pastry
Umm…whoa. Not fair. I’d almost rather not know of a homemade version of smores pop tarts so I can carry on with my life thinking that only the high fructose corn syrup-laden – and easily avoidable- variety exists. Damn. I guess I’ll just have to welcome pop tarts back into my life.
Wow! Amazingly genius.
Brilliant idea as usual! I don’t think you can ever go wrong when you pair marshmallow creme with chocolate, especially when it’s stuffed inside a pastry crust.
I’m not even into poptarts, or poptart like products. But that creation there, appears to be full of win.
These are totally bringing me back to my childhood. Although back then I would have eaten these with a big dab of butter. Am I the only one who used to butter her pop tarts?
Those look awesome! I really do have to make those this weekend!
YUM! This looks awesome. I will full on admit that poptarts are considered a health food in my life! I kid, I kid…sort of.
Loved these growing up, including the strawberry. Sad to say I haven’t had a poptart in years, but seeing these, I may just have too. Your great!
These are too cute!
Yum! Smores pop tarts are my favorite, though I haven’t let myself have one in years. I think I will be jumping on the pop tart bandwagon this weekend, thanks for the inspiration!
Ridged edges make them so official. But I never needed anything with chocolate to look official!
How fun are those pop tarts? Love the idea of a s’mores filling!
My favorite were the cinnamon sugar…these look amazing!!!
My two favorite flavors growing up were smores and brown sugar… Didn’t even think you could make these from scratch… Leave it to Jenna
The last time I made homemade poptarts was SUCH a mess and disaster – I want to try again though. Is this dough easy to make? And this is definitely the filling I want to try mmmmm
This is scary! Yesterday I bought some stuff to bake exactly this on the weekend. Its good to know that they are good though
This is such a good idea! They look irresistible!
omg, that really is simple!!
I’ve never tried a pop tart before, and now I want too after reading your amazing post
You never disappoint!! These look great!
My boyfriend eats poptarts every morning for his morning snack. I think I’m going to make these for him for a very special treat!
smores poptarts were my FAVORITE! i haven’t had one in years. yum. thank you!!!
Your pastra dough look so buttery and flaky. You are a genious Jenna. Seriously.
I’m not even sure that I can handle this post!!
Oh no you didn’t!
That’s my favorite flavor out of the whole pop-tart line-up! I’m SO glad you went there. You can even go there again with a different flavor if you like
Great idea! Those look amazing….and pop tarts are something I’ve never thought of making myself!
This homemade pop tart kick you’re on is frickin’ genius!! S’mores, strawberry…now I just need a recipe for the brown sugar cinnamon flavor (my fave), and I can die a happy woman.
These look so yummy! PS: Love your marble rolling pin, I finally got one after struggling with my dinky wood one for far too long
These look wonderful and simple, thanks!
So easy, so yummy, and sooo nostalgic!
No.You.Didn’t.
Yes.You.Did!!!!!!
Marshmallow + Choc = my two fave things!
And I loveddddd poptarts growing up.
(and sorry for triplicate commenting yesterday…seriously sometimes I don’t think my comments “register” and then I refresh the page and they’re still not there…so sorry for the comment duplications!
)
Oh wow! These were my favorite thing ever growing up, especially since I didn’t like any of the fruit flavors. I can’t wait to try these.
I agree with Averie…
NO YOU DID NOT Just make the best thing ever!!!!
SO going to make these.
I think I just drooled a bit…I get these out of the vending machine at least twice a week at work. Must try!
Thank you. Seriously, thank you for posting this recipe. It has made my day, and I will be making these in the near future. Amazing!
YES! S’more Pop Tarts were always my favorite as a kid. I gotta try out this recipe, asap.
Hypothetically, if you were to add a layer of marshmallow-y chocolate icing across the top, what would you make it out of?
Second time I’ve seen homemade poptarts around the blogosphere- must be a sign!
*whimper
These look WAY better than the storebought version!
I am so sold, they look delish!
Homemade pop tarts? Yummmmmm!
omg, mind blowing.
O my gosh, these look amazing!! I LOVE S’mores!
BTW I LOVE your blog SOO MUCH! I’ve been reading a long time but I’ve never commented… you have the best recipes!
This looks fabulous and totally brings me back to my childhood!
What a fabulous idea! These homemade pop tarts look delicious and so much better than the store-bought version!
WOW!! those look Ah-mazing!! and they look pretty easy to make. Fabulous idea!!
So good! I think this is my favorite poptart flavor and I know it would be even better homemade. High five!
Don’t even tease me, these look awesome! I could probably do this with frozen stuff, for sure
thanks for the idea!
Cute idea! Looks yummy. I could own a whole jar of marshmellow fluff in one sitting. Yum!
That looks like the most ridiculously amazing thing I have ever seen.
I can’t believe I haven’t thought of these yet. Yum!
ooh amazing those look divine!
you are brilliant. my mouth is watering.
I absolutely LOVE these recipes of homemade grocery store favorites. I just made your oatmeal cream pies, so delicious!!
How incredible would these be with Nutella? Just saying…
yummmm.
S’more poptarts are my fave flavor. Pretty sure I ate them everyday when I was pregnant, because you can have an extra 490 cal a day right?? I made these last night for dessert, and YUM!!!!!! Thanks for the great idea!
Those look so yummy!
These were my go to stress/studying food in college!! I need to make these! Awesome idea!
Seriously, EVERY thing you make makes me drool. How in the world do you stay so thin? Do you give these lovelies away to some lucky soul?
Wow, these look amazing! I can’t believe how easy you made it look! I can’t wait to give it a try.
Okay, I used to love pop tarts but haven’t liked them since I became an ‘adult’ (whatever that means) but this looks like the best big kid pop tart I’ve ever seen and I want one asap!
I love this idea. I wonder how it would taste if I substituted Nutella for the chocolate chips? I seem to want to paint the world in Nutella, though:)
I also love nutella its the only thing i put on my bread. This recipe is really nice im going to make it for my class but I just might add nutella. I might also make it for my mom.
