25 Days of Pop Tarts

Day 4: Chocolate Vanilla Creme

This little guy is part of the Pop Tart flavor flashback series. It's also part of the Birthday Edition!

Fun fact: Pop Tarts were introduced in 1964

Making this the 50th Birthday Edition Pop Tart! Sweeeeet. So for the party, we're having chocolate cake with vanilla icing (practically).

Chocolate & Vanilla. Another classic combo. You can't really go wrong. And Pop Tarts didn't! After the past two days of trying the new pb tarts, Im happy to be back to some classic Pop Tart action. The chocolate crust is not too overpowering. The vanilla creme is just sweet enough. The flavors blend together well, leaving this girl full and focused. oops. wrong product. (see Frosted Mini Wheats commercial).

Until tomorrow!

25 Days of Pop Tarts

Day 3: Peanut Butter Pop Tart

The Peanut Butter Pop Tart WITHOUT frosting. I know what you're thinking... "No frosting??" Gross, amiright?

Well, to be honest, this Pop Tart is so rich that it doesn't need any more going for it. It does have a light sugar coating so its not completely naked. Its good. Its very good. But it doesn't feel like I'm eating a Pop Tart. The crust (if you will) is so much richer than any other Pop Tart that its just a different experience.

Delish though. If you haven't tried it yet and you aren't allergic to peanuts, I say give it a try.

Alright, time to watch Mary Poppins. C'ya later!

25 Days of Pop Tarts

Day 2: Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pop Tart

Pop Tarts gone nutty is exactly what I want. Forever and always. I love peanut butter. I cant get enough of it. So when I saw that Pop Tarts made a couple new peanut butter flavors, I had to try them. And tonight, I did!

My assessment? Delicious. It was very, very rich though. Which really is not a problem for me but this Pop Tart is definitely more of a dessert. The peanut butter filling was super sweet. It's not the peanut butter im used to thats for sure (I love natural peanut butter without all the extra sugar and fats) hahahahah I definitely typed "farts" instead of "fats" a second ago.

I think I need to call it a night.

Great tart yet again. See you all tomorrow!

25 Days of Pop Tarts

This doesn't need much explanation other than that I am a sweets & treats obsessed lady and hey, maybe I'd like to try every flavor of Pop Tart before I die so I can rightly judge which is actually the best flavor (which I suspect is the classic Brown Sugar & Cinnamon). Plus, its like 25 days of Christmas. Every day has a new flavorful present :)



Alas! Lets begin!

Day One: Chocolate Chip (because, well, that's what we had in the house)

 Im opening the silver packaging and I find two lightly, LIGHTLY frosted pastries. They immediately smell like chocolate chips. Bonus. Ill admit, I'm always skeptical of cakes, pastries, cookies, whatever that dont have much frosting, as I am a frosting lover myself. But I will make taste be my ultimate judge.

I slowly break one Pop Tart in half (like they do in freshly baked chocolate chip cookie commercials) and as expected, I find a chocolate filled center. Im biting into the Pop Tart and it tastes exactly like chocolate chips. I like the simplicity of this tart. You can still taste the butteryness of the pastry while enjoying the sugary, chocolatey center. I can imagine myself going for this flavor when I want something lighter and simple. Almost nostalgic, I would say. But there is no real "wow" factor. Thats not a deal breaker. Put one of these in front of me and I will eat it. But I cant imagine it really being the Pop Tart I reach for in the store when in competition with some more advanced flavors.

Welp. Alls well that ends well. Stay tuned!
