SOYNUT BUTTER S'MORES
from RecipeGirl.com  
Ingredients:

• 1 box puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
• 3 whole graham crackers, gently broken into fourths
• 9 small milk chocolate bars
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or soynut butter
• small bowl of water
• 1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon water (to make egg wash)
• 1/2 cup jarred marshmallow creme

Directions:

1. Thaw out a box of puff pastry, and cut along the fold lines to make 6 large rectangles. Cut each rectangle in half lengthwise.
2. Layer 1/4 of a whole graham cracker, a piece of milk chocolate bar and a spoonful of peanut butter on one side of the puff pastry.
3. Wet the edges with water (dip your finger in water and gently touch along the edge), fold over the filling ingredients and press edges together. Use a fork to seal the edges. Repeat with remaining pieces.
4. Transfer filled turnovers to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and brush with egg wash.
5. Use a sharp knife to cut a couple of slits in the top of each turnover (to allow steam to escape while baking).
6. Bake at 400°F until golden (about 15 minutes).
7. Scoop marshmallow creme into a zip baggie and microwave it for about 8 seconds. Snip the tip of the bag, zip it and drizzle marshmallow on top of warm turnovers.
