Mini S’mores pies FAQS
To prevent mini pies from sticking, there are a few effective methods you can use:
Non-stick Pan: Use a non-stick muffin tin or mini pie pan, which helps reduce the likelihood of sticking.
Greasing: Lightly grease the muffin tin or pie molds with butter or a non-stick cooking spray. This creates a barrier between the pie crust and the pan.
Parchment Paper: Cut small circles of parchment paper and place them at the bottom of each muffin cup or pie mold. This makes it easier to remove the pies after baking.
Cooling: Allow the pies to cool in the pan for a few minutes after baking. As they cool, they contract slightly, making them easier to remove.
Storing mini pies in the freezer is a great way to keep them fresh for later use. Here’s how to do it:
Cool Completely: Ensure the mini pies are completely cooled to room temperature before freezing.
Wrap Individually: Wrap each mini pie tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps prevent freezer burn and keeps the flavors intact.
Freezer-Safe Container: Place the wrapped pies in a freezer-safe container or a resealable freezer bag. This adds an extra layer of protection against freezer burn and odor absorption.
Label and Date: Label the container or bag with the date, so you know how long the pies have been stored.
Freeze: Store the mini pies in the freezer. They can typically be kept for up to 3 months.
When you’re ready to enjoy them, thaw the mini pies in the refrigerator or at room temperature before serving.
The number of s’mores you can make with a box of Honey Maid Graham Crackers depends on the size of the box and how you break the crackers. Typically, a standard box contains about 27 to 28 sheets of graham crackers. Each sheet can be broken into four small squares. For a traditional s’more, you need two squares per s’more (one for the top and one for the bottom).
Therefore, from a standard box, you can make approximately:
27 sheets x 4 squares per sheet = 108 squares
108 squares / 2 squares per s’more = 54 s’mores
Keep in mind that this is an estimate and the actual number may vary slightly based on the exact count of crackers in the box and the size of the s’mores you make.
