Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) Nutella
- 1 box refrigerated pie crusts
- ½ cup (85 g) white chocolate melts
- ¼ cup (45 g) chocolate melts
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Ignite the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal pastry performance.
- Dough Transformation: Unfurl pie crusts and meticulously slice into precise 3×4 inch rectangular panels, repurposing any excess dough to maximize yield.
- Nutella Infusion: Lavishly spread Nutella across half of the pastry rectangles, maintaining a pristine half-inch border to prevent messy overflow.
- Pastry Assembly: Delicately overlay plain pastry rectangles atop Nutella-covered bases, securing edges with gentle finger crimps and fork impressions for a polished seal.
- Pre-Baking Setup: Arrange assembled tarts on the prepared baking sheet, strategically etching petite ventilation slits to mitigate potential steam accumulation.
- Baking Transformation: Roast pastries in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes until they radiate a golden-bronze luminescence.
- Cooling Interlude: Rest tarts momentarily on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack, allowing complete temperature equalization.
- Chocolate Artistry: Melt white and dark chocolate separately, then cascade white chocolate gracefully across the cooled pastry surfaces.
- Decorative Drizzle: Transfer dark chocolate into a ziplock bag, snip a microscopic corner, and choreograph intricate chocolate patterns over the white chocolate foundation.
- Final Flourish: While chocolate remains lustrous, generously cascade festive sprinkles across the tarts, creating a whimsical and celebratory presentation.
- Storage Protocol: Allow chocolate to solidify completely before preserving these delectable confections within an airtight containment system.
Notes
- Precision Matters: Measure pastry rectangles exactly 3×4 inches to ensure uniform, professional-looking pop tarts.
- Sealing Technique: Press fork edges firmly and completely to prevent Nutella from leaking during baking, creating perfect sealed pockets.
- Ventilation Importance: Cut small slits on top pastry to release steam, preventing soggy or puffy pop tarts and maintaining crisp texture.
- Chocolate Drizzling Pro Tip: Use a ziplock bag for controlled, neat chocolate patterns, ensuring elegant and Instagram-worthy decoration.
