Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
Pop-tarts:
Roll each pie dough sheet out into a large rectangle. (There are normally 2 sheets in each package). Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut out 16 rectangles. Gather up the scraps and re- roll the pie dough for the last 4 rectangles.
Fill a plastic sandwich bag with the marshmallow fluff and fill a second bag with the chocolate spread. Leaving about a 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch border around the edges, cut the tip of each bag. Pipe stripes of marshmallow fluff and chocolate down the center of the dough, alternating stripes of chocolate, marshmallow, chocolate, marshmallow and chocolate. Wet finger with a little water; run it around the edges of the dough.
Add a top layer of pie dough; press edges down to seal in the chocolate and marshmallow fluff. Using a fork, press the edges to seal all the the way around the pop-tart.
Bake for about 10 minutes, not over-baking them or there won't be any chocolate or marshmallow left in the center.
Remove from oven; place on a wire tray to cool. Once cool, start making the glaze.
Glaze:
In a medium bowl, mix together melted butter and cocoa powder; add in powdered sugar and hot water; mix until smooth.
Using a spoon, scoop the glaze out onto the pop-tarts. Use the back of the spoon to smooth it over the top of the pop-tarts. If it starts to get too thick in the bowl while glazing the pop-tarts, place the bowl into the microwave for about 5-10 seconds. Glaze will harden as it cools.
While glaze is still wet, sprinkle a little crushed graham crackers over the glaze. Let pop-tarts sit until glaze dries.
* If you want to re-heat them, heat in the oven or microwave, DO NOT put them in the toaster. The glaze will melt into your toaster!
