directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Roll each pie dough sheet into a large rectangle. Each package typically has 2 rolls of dough.
-
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut out 16 rectangles. Gather scraps and reroll as needed for the final pieces.
-
Fill a piping bag or plastic sandwich bag with marshmallow fluff and another with chocolate spread.
-
Leave a ¼–½ inch border around each rectangle and pipe alternating stripes of marshmallow and chocolate down the center.
-
Wet your finger with water and run it along the edges of the dough.
-
Place a top layer of dough over the filling and press edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
-
Bake for about 10 minutes. Avoid overbaking to keep the center gooey. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
-
Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine melted butter and cocoa powder, then stir in powdered sugar and hot water until smooth.
-
Spoon the glaze over the cooled poptarts and smooth with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top while glaze is still wet.
-
Let the glaze set before serving. To reheat, use the oven or microwave, but do not use a toaster.
