Easy Nutella Poptart Pops

You know, not too many things are better than a good old Poptart.  A flaky pastry shell stuffed with gooey, sweet pilling.  It brings back memories of childhood. Doesn’t that just sound awesome?!  Well guess what, I have a recipe for you.  When about 18″ of snow was dumped on CT this week, I made these babies while being trapped in my house.

 

I mean, I guess I could have cleaned, done some grad school homework, or something like that.  But Max was napping and my pregnant belly was demanding Poptarts.  And Nutella.  Who am I to argue?

This recipe is perfect for a Valentine’s Day dessert.  How perfect does a bottle of Pinot Noir, a good Pandora station and you and your sweetie making these together on V-Day sound?!  They’re super simple to make.  Kids would actually enjoy making these too.

Ingredients:

• Refrigerated pie crust
• Nutella (I used about 1/3 cup for a ton of these)
• 1 egg (beaten)
• paper lollipop sticks that could be baked (I used the regular Wilton pop sticks)

Directions:

Pre-heat the oven to 325F. Unroll the pie crust and cut out your shapes using a small cookie cutter.

Trace the edge of one pie crust shape with egg, then plop a tiny amount of Nutella in the center.

Place your lollipop stick in the middle, then place another crust shape on top of it.

Using a fork, press to seal the two pieces together.

Place pops onto a parchment lined baking sheet.  Brush on egg wash and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
