Ingredients You’ll Need

You’ll be amazed by how just a handful of classic ingredients can deliver all that warm, toasty s’mores goodness in every bite. Each component of Irresistible S’mores Hand Pies brings something special to the table—think creamy chocolate, pillowy marshmallows, and buttery pastry for texture and taste that’s beyond compare.

Refrigerated Pie Dough: Provides a quick, flaky crust with just the right amount of buttery flavor—no fussing with pastry from scratch needed!
Chocolate Bars: Chopped into bits for melty richness that anchors every bite; go milk or dark, depending on your chocolate mood.
Miniature Marshmallows: Toast up gooey and soft, replicating that signature campfire texture inside each pie.
Graham Crackers: Crushed for both the filling and the sprinkle on top; they add that nostalgic s’mores crunch and a subtle honey sweetness.
Salted Butter: Brushed on the outside for flavor and color, helping those graham cracker crumbs stick and the pies to turn fabulously golden.
Water: Just a touch is perfect to seal the edges of each hand pie, so none of the gooey filling escapes.
Chocolate Syrup (optional): For drizzling or dipping, it’s an extra layer of chocolate decadence.
Marshmallow Cream (optional): Puts even more marshmallow goodness alongside every bite if you’re feeling extra indulgent.

How to Make Irresistible S’mores Hand Pies

Step 1: Prepare the Pie Dough

Start by letting your refrigerated pie crusts rest at room temperature—they’ll be much easier to work with. Unroll them gently on a clean surface and grab a 3-inch round cookie cutter (or the rim of a glass for an improv moment). Cut out as many circles as you can, placing them close together to maximize your dough. Gather up those scraps and reroll if needed for extra pies—waste not, want not!

Step 2: Make the S’mores Filling

In a medium mixing bowl, combine your chopped chocolate, miniature marshmallows, and half of the crushed graham crackers. Give it all a good stir so every bite gets a mix of chocolatey, marshmallowy goodness. If you love things extra gooey (I always do!), go ahead and toss in a few extra pieces of chocolate.

Step 3: Fill and Seal the Mini Pies

Scoop about a tablespoon of the s’mores mixture onto the center of half your dough rounds. Dampen your finger with water and trace the edge of each filled circle—it’ll help glue everything together. Place a second circle of dough over each filled one, pressing gently to seal. For that classic hand pie look (and to keep all the filling tucked inside), use a fork to crimp the edges all the way around.

Step 4: Butter and Top the Pies

Brush each assembled pie with a little melted salted butter. Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crumbs generously over the top—this gives every bite that unmistakable s’mores flavor and a bit of crunch when they come out of the air fryer.

Step 5: Air Fry the Mini S’mores Pies

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F for about 5 minutes. Lightly spray the basket to keep sticking at bay. Arrange a few hand pies in the basket so they aren’t crowded—they need space for air circulation! Air fry for about 10 minutes or until the pies are gorgeously golden and the filling looks melty. Let them cool on a wire rack before handling. If you like an extra crunchy crust, add another minute, but keep an eye on things so they don’t burn.

Step 6: Serve with Dipping Sauces

As soon as the Irresistible S’mores Hand Pies have cooled enough to handle, arrange them on a pretty platter. Serve with small bowls of chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream on the side for dunking—because going over the top is the best part.

How to Serve Irresistible S’mores Hand Pies

Garnishes

Dress up your Irresistible S’mores Hand Pies with a final drizzle of chocolate syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar. For an extra-fun touch, scatter tiny marshmallows or more graham cracker crumbs on your serving platter. A dollop of whipped cream alongside never hurts either—this dessert is all about playfulness!

Side Dishes

These hand pies are decadent on their own but pair beautifully with fresh strawberries or sliced bananas to cut through the richness. For a full dessert spread, serve with an icy-cold glass of milk or a steaming mug of hot chocolate (for s’mores brunch, anyone?).

Creative Ways to Present

Make your gathering unforgettable by setting up a “build-your-own” hand pie bar with small bowls of dipping sauces and a sprinkle station for extra toppings. For parties, you can slide each Irresistible S’mores Hand Pie into a parchment sleeve or pop them onto sticks—like a s’mores pie pop!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you find yourself with extra Irresistible S’mores Hand Pies (lucky you!), let them cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days at room temperature, making them a brilliant make-ahead dessert for just about any gathering.

Freezing

To freeze, wrap each cooled hand pie individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep beautifully for up to a month. When a s’mores craving strikes, you’ll be beyond grateful for your foresight!

Reheating

To bring that freshly baked magic back, just pop your hand pies in a 325°F oven or air fryer for 5–7 minutes, or until warmed through and crisp again. The crust will regain its flakiness, and the inside will turn deliciously melty—just like the day you made them.

FAQs

Can I bake Irresistible S’mores Hand Pies in a regular oven instead of an air fryer?

Yes! Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with butter and crumbs, and bake at 375°F for about 15–18 minutes, or until golden. Keep an eye on them toward the end so the marshmallows don’t ooze out too much.

What other kinds of chocolate work well in this recipe?

Get creative and try milk, dark, or even white chocolate for fun flavor twists. Mini chocolate chips or leftover chocolate candies from Halloween work beautifully too.

Can I make Irresistible S’mores Hand Pies ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can fully assemble the pies and refrigerate them, unbaked, for up to 24 hours before air frying. Just add the butter and graham cracker topping right before cooking for best results.

Is there a gluten free version of this recipe?

Yes, use a gluten free pie crust and gluten free graham crackers—everything else remains the same. The hand pies will be just as delectable and disappear just as quickly!

Can I use marshmallow fluff instead of mini marshmallows?

Marshmallow fluff will melt even faster than the mini marshmallows, but you can try a small dollop. Just be sure to seal the edges tightly to avoid too much oozing out during cooking.

Final Thoughts

There’s something so purely joyful about baking up a batch of Irresistible S’mores Hand Pies and sharing them with friends or family. They’re simple, oh-so-delicious, and bring smiles every time. So gather your ingredients, get a little messy, and enjoy the nostalgic magic of s’mores in every handheld bite!
