Dark Chocolate Snickerdoodle Poptarts

pic 10

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I KNOW that you guys are on the hunt for a quick and easy treat for your significant other… one that looks complicated and tastes delicious, but is prepped, baked & cleaned up after within an hour. Dark Chocolate Snickerdoodle Poptarts are definitely a mouthful to say, but your mouth will appreciate them – pinky promise ♥

I made poptarts using pie crust YEARS ago, and they turned out amazing. I haven’t made them since because I am a sucker for strawberry/blueberry poptarts from vending machines, especially when they are readily available for me. However, I recently found out that Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts have gelatin in them, which literally hurt my soul. So I figured it was time that I recreate my poptart recipe so I can complete my cravings.

I like this recipe EXTRA for Valentine’s Day because Snickerdoodle’s are such classic and tasty cookies that are made around this time of the year. Everyone loves a good layer of cinnamon and sugar, which is exactly what we have in this snickerdoodle glaze!

The reason why I chose to use dark chocolate in this recipe is because the glaze is already made out of sugar, so I wanted to balance it out with chocolate that wasn’t as sweet. Flava Naturals has some of the tastiest chocolate I have ever tried! I especially love that all of their products are gluten free, non-gmo, kosher and vegetarian. They also have so many different flavors/varieties and I looooveeee them all. I mean… I think you all know my relationship status with chocolate by now.

Using pie crust makes these poptarts super flakey and a nice golden brown when they are baked. It’s also so convenient to buy ready-made pie crust at the grocery store but feel free to make your own if you have the time! (I’m obviously lazy so I didn’t)

You can store these poptarts in an airtight container for up to a week. Warm them up in the toaster before eating because they taste 10 times more amazing when hot… Add a scoop of your favorite ice cream on top if you want to get crazy – I recommend it 🙂

INGREDIENTS

Poptarts

  • 1 egg (beat)
  • (2) 14 oz pie crust (store bought)
  • (3) 1.5 oz bars of dark chocolate (melted)

Snickerdoodle Glaze

  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1.25 tbsp almond milk

INTRUCTIONS

Poptarts

  1. Defrost or thaw your 2 pie crusts according to the package instructions.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Using your favorite cookie cutter, cut as many shapes as you can.
  2. Combine the leftover dough scraps together into a ball and use a rolling pin to roll it out to the same thickness as the previous dough. Cut more shapes and continue to do this until you have used as much of the dough as possible.
  3. Add about 1/2 tbsp of melted chocolate on half of your shapes. You may need more or less depending on how big your shape is.
  4. Place the other halves directly on top of each of the chocolate halves and seal the poptarts shut using a fork.
  5. Make two mini slits on the top of each poptart to release the steam.
  6. Gently brush each poptart with the beaten egg.
  7. Lay some wax paper on a baking tray. Spray cooking spray and place your poptarts on top. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, until golden brown. When the poptarts are done, place them on a cooling rack for 10-15 minutes before glazing.

Snickerdoodle Glaze

  1. Whisk together the vanilla extract, confectioners sugar, ground cinnamon and almond milk until smooth.  Add more almond milk for a thinner glaze.
  2. Drizzle the glaze all over the poptarts and enjoy!

 

NOTES

  • This recipe yields 20 medium heart shaped poptarts.
  • If you do not eat eggs, you can brush the poptarts with 2 tbsp of melted butter.
