These Orange Marmalade Hand Pies with Dark Chocolate Drizzle are flaky and luscious and bursting at the seams with flavor that is melt-in-your mouth good!
So here’s the deal – I ate more than I needed to…but less than I wanted to…so I guess it all balances out. Am I right?
Have you ever had an Orange Marmalade Hand Pie with Dark Chocolate Drizzle?
Or any flavor hand pie for that matter?
Hand Pie: flaky, warm, fruity, comforting, tiny, portable pie.
Hand pies are one of those delicacies (not an overstatement), that calls for a copper tea kettle, soft cloth napkins, and meaningful conversation with your best girlfriend.
That being said….I don’t recommend you hesitate to make them if, say, your tea kettle is made of glass, your cloth napkins are in the wash, and your bestie is unavailable. And although always best when shared, I promise you’ll do just fine suffering through a few cherished nibbles on your own. 😉
These hand pies are 100% a necessity of life.
Yes, I said it. Necessity.
These bakery-style compact pies are:
- Irresistible
- Sweet
- Light as air
- Dark chocolate-draped
- Marmalady
- Oven-fresh
- Old-fashioned
- Comforting
Now grab that rolling pin and get baking!
Buon Appetito!

Orange Marmalade Hand Pies with Dark Chocolate Drizzle
- Category: Dessert
Description
These Orange Marmalade Hand Pies with Dark Chocolate Drizzle are flaky and luscious and bursting at the seams with flavor that is melt-in-your mouth good!
Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour (plus more for rolling)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ½ cup ice water
- 13 oz. jar of orange marmalade
- 1 egg, fork beaten for egg wash
- Granulated sugar for sprinkling
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate discs, melted
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, place the first three ingredients.
- With clean hands, quickly combine the ingredients until they look like cracker crumbs with pea-sized lumps.
- Sprinkle the ice water over the mixture and stir lightly with a fork.
- Squeeze a handful of dough to see if it sticks together. (Mix in more water by the teaspoon, as needed, until it sticks together.)
- Divide the dough into two discs, wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and chill for an hour.
- In the meantime, preheat the oven to 400 F, and prep two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove dough from refrigerator, and roll out each half on the parchment.
- Using a 4-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out as many circles as dough will allow.
- Put a teaspoon of orange marmalade on one half of the dough.
- Brush all around the edge with water, fold in half, and press firmly to seal. Using fork tines, crimp the rounded edge for extra sealing.
- Using a toothpick, poke small vent holes in the top.
- Cover and chill for a few minutes.
- When you’re ready to bake, brush them lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with a bit of sugar.
- Bake for 10 – 15 minutes, then let them cool.
- Drizzle pies with melted chocolate before serving.
CIAO!
These are so great. I think individual desserts, especially ones you can pick up and “go” are the best. I love the combination of orange and chocolate, and how you make them look irresistible! Thanks for sharing.
They’re my favorite kind of dessert too! Thank you so much!
I’m with Dawn, all about hand pies! And orange and chocolate are made for each other, especially with that flaky crust! Really could go for a couple of these today (more than I should have and less than I want 😉 – love that!)
Yeahhh! All about hand pies! We can start a club! 😉 Thanks, friend!
These are so tasty looking and sounding! I love that chocolate drizzle!
Thanks, Kevin! So good! 🙂
I love the combo of Orange and Dark Chocolate but I haven’t ever had a pie involved in the combo and now that you say it, I’m realizing that I have been so missing out! Wow, Annie – these sound and look fantastic!
You are missing out, sweets! Time to have this hand pie! 🙂
Those are words to live by Annie – I ate more than I needed but less than I wanted to! Love it. And I also love these hand pies. That chocolate drizzle is everything, and I always love the flavour combo of orange and chocolate. Yum!
If I had a dollar for every time I said that! 😉 Thanks so much, Leanne!
I love simple desserts like these, Annie – the flavors of orange marmalade and chocolate work so well together. And the flaky little pastries are gorgeous!
The perfect breakfast! Thanks, friend 🙂
Hand pies have been on my list of things to bake this summer, but I haven’t gotten to them yet! You’ve just inspired me to get baking! I love that you used marmalade and baked these! Plus orange and chocolate – perfect combination!
Thank you, Kathy! It’s a yummy combo!
Very, very tempting! Cannot (and why would I?) say no to these perfect little numbers. Pinned!
So happy to know that! 🙂 Thanks, Milena!
Orange marmalade and dark chocolate go so well together! Add to that a flaky pie crust and the cutest hand pies, and we have perfection! I love making hand pies, I’ve just made them with haskap berries, a local berry here. Pinned, Annie!!
Ooooh – that sounds amazing!! Berry hand pies are lovely!
WOW!! I’d love to make them. I’ve never tried my “hand” at hand pies. They certainly would be a huge hit with our family. I love the touch of chocolate on them.
It’s time to try your hand!! Thank you, Marisa!! 🙂
As much as I love my best friend I kind of don’t want to share. I feel bad about this, but not bad enough to change my mind :). OMG these look awesome!
Naaaah – I’m sure your bestie will understand! 🙂 Thanks, Kelsie!
Wow! I am a big marmalade fan, so the idea of putting in a hand pie and drizzling with chocolate has me swooning 🙂 Lovely.
Thanks so much, Jennifer! It’s a nice bite, isn’t it? 🙂
I absolutely love the orange chocolate combination Annie! These little pies look delicious! I’ll need one for each hand!
