Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 turnovers

Ingredients

  1. 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
  2. 1/2 cup peanut butter
  3. 1 cup mini marshmallows
  4. 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  5. 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Using a round 4-inch cookie cutter or a small plate as a guide, cut 8 circles from the pie crusts.
  3. Place the pie crust circles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each turnover.
  4. In the center of each pie crust circle, spread about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Sprinkle mini marshmallows and chocolate chips evenly over the peanut butter on each circle.
  6. Carefully fold each pie crust circle in half, creating a half-moon shape. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges completely, preventing the filling from leaking.
  7. Brush the top of each turnover with beaten egg, which will help create a golden, shiny crust.
  8. Use a sharp knife to cut 2-3 small slits on the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape during baking.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and crispy.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before serving, as the filling will be extremely hot.
  11. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with additional melted chocolate before serving.

Tips

  1. Chill Out: Keep your pie crusts slightly chilled before cutting to ensure clean, easy-to-handle circles.
  2. Don't Overfill: Leave a small border around the edges when adding peanut butter, marshmallows, and chocolate to prevent leaking during baking.
  3. Crimp with Care: Use a fork to create a tight seal around the edges of your turnovers to keep all that delicious filling inside.
  4. Egg Wash Magic: Don't skip the egg wash - it's the secret to that gorgeous golden-brown, glossy crust that will make your turnovers look professional.
  5. Steam Escape Route: Those small slits on top aren't just for show - they help prevent your turnovers from becoming soggy by letting steam escape.
  6. Cooling is Crucial: Let the turnovers rest for 5-10 minutes after baking. The filling will be molten hot, and allowing them to cool slightly will prevent burnt tongues and help the filling set.
  7. Get Creative: Try different nut butters or add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for an extra flavor dimension!
