Ingredients
- 1 box refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 cup Nutella
- ½ cup white chocolate melts
- ¼ cup chocolate melts
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles
Directions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the pop tarts from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
2. Prepare the Pie Crusts:
- Unroll both pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut out 8 rectangles measuring 3 inches by 4 inches from each pie crust. If necessary, re-roll the dough scraps to get all 8 rectangles.
3. Fill with Nutella:
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of Nutella evenly over 8 of the rectangles, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges. Be careful not to overfill, as this could cause the Nutella to ooze out during baking.
- Top each Nutella-covered rectangle with a plain rectangle. Press the edges together with your fingers to seal, then use a fork to crimp the edges and ensure they’re fully sealed.
4. Bake the Pop Tarts:
- Place the prepared pop tarts on the lined baking sheet. Use a knife to cut a few small slits in the top of each tart to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake the pop tarts in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until they are a light golden brown. The crust should be flaky and crisp.
5. Cool the Tarts:
- Once baked, let the pop tarts cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps the crust set and makes them easier to handle when decorating.
6. Decorate with Chocolate:
- Melt the white chocolate and regular chocolate in two separate bowls according to the package directions. You can do this in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
- Spread the melted white chocolate over the tops of the cooled pop tarts using a spoon or an offset spatula. Then, spoon the melted regular chocolate into a ziplock bag, snip off a small corner, and drizzle it over the white chocolate in a decorative pattern.
7. Add Sprinkles:
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the tops of the tarts with colorful sprinkles for a fun and festive finish. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving or storing the pop tarts.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the chocolate has set, your Nutella Pop Tarts are ready to enjoy! Serve them warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delicious combination of flaky crust, creamy Nutella, and sweet chocolate topping.
