Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly dust countertop and roll pie crust out and trim into 12”x9” rectangle and cut into 12 pieces (roughly 3” square), to make 6 pastries. You can discard the scrap dough, or press into a dough ball and roll out for 2 more pastries. Put 1 teaspoon each peanut butter and jam in the center of 3 of the squares, spreading evenly, but leaving a ¼ inch border to seal. If using the chocolate bar, spread peanut butter, then place 1 square of chocolate in the center of each. Brush the edge with egg, then place a piece of pie crust on top. With a fork, seal the edges, then brush the top with egg and sprinkle with sugar (and cocoa if using chocolate). Move pastries to sheet pan and bake for 10-15 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
