Hola Amigos! Just thought of stopping by to share something quick we just whipped at the kitchen this afternoon so the kids (big and small) could have something to celebrate on S'mores Day!. Very simple and easy recipe, like most of our weekend cooking and baking,  but never, never skimping on flavor!
So without further ado, lets enjoy the sweetness of S'mores Day!

A little frozen pie dough, stuffed with your favorite candy, marshmallows of course and why not...some cookie butter for an extra caramel note!

Bake and 20 minutes later...enjoy!

S'mores Empanadas Recipe, enjoy these delicious treat all year round. With their flaky and buttery crust and gooey chocolate center , you can't have just one! 4 ingredients and enjoy!

Inside you will find warm sweet chocolate goodness surrounded by a crispy and buttery dough!

There is of course a little air pocket between the chocolate and the crispy shell...but who cares? it's so sweet you need a little extra "pie" to balance it of!

There you go my friends! Happy S'mores Day....and remember everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love and Lot's of Chocolate too!

Besitos,

S'mores Empanadas
Ingredients:
1 Bag frozen Pie Dough thawed
Your Favorite Candy Bars as much as you want per empanada (I used a mix of Cookies'n Cream, Chocolate and Dark Chocolate Almond, all from Hershey's)
6 Large Marshmallows (1 for each empanada) 
6 TBSP Cookie Butter (1 for each empanada) 
Directions: 
Roll out your thawed Pie Crust and roll it thin with a pin. Using a small saucer (about 6 inches)  cut 3 out  circles per pie crust sheet. (2 come in a bag). Fill them up with the marshmallow, cookie butter and small pieces of candies. Close the little pillows by folding in stuffed circle in half, sealing the edges with a little bit of water and a fork to give it a nice presentation.
If desired give each empanada a little egg wash for color.
Place the empanadas in a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake at 365F  for approximately 20 minutes or until crust is nice and brown. 
Remove from oven and enjoy...careful they are super hot in the inside!


Prep Time: 10 minutes             Cooking Time 20 minutes         Serves 6
