Method

You will need a baking tray.
  1. Preheat oven to 220 / 200 / 7.
  2. Roll out the pastry but leave it on the paper it comes in. This just saves time as we won’t need to line our baking tray. Gently fold pastry in half horizontally and press lightly, then lay flat again so pastry is marked across the middle. Cut the pastry vertically so you three equal strips.
  3. Spread a dessertspoon of chocolate spread on the top half of each of the pastry strips leaving a 1.5 cm edge
  4. Using scissors or a sharp knife cut the jelly cubes into thin strips about the depth of a 10p coin and lay 3-4 squares of the thin jelly strips on top of the chocolate spread.
  5. Brush egg wash around the edges and fold over the pastry to make a pocket for the filling.  Carefully using a fork, press around the edges to ensure they are sealed. Egg wash the top and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes until risen and golden.
  6. Leave to cool completely.
  7. Make the icing using the icing sugar and orange juice, water is fine if you don’t have juice. Mix together until a thick paste is achieved. Add in Orange Gel food colouring if using.
  8. Liberally ice the top of your pop tarts and sprinkle over popping candy, if you like. When set, pack up in a box and eat on the go!
