These S’mores pops are an original twist on traditional S'mores. Pop them in the oven minutes before serving and enjoy! 1. Puff pastry tastes best when baked and served fresh. However, if you’d rather prepare it in advance, freeze it raw, allow 20 minutes for it to defrost and then bake it fresh. 2. Try to be very careful to seal edges well so pops don't explode. 3. For variety, add peanut butter and bananas instead of or in addition to marshmallows. 70 COMMUNITY MAGAZINE
