    I think it's probably the sugar in the pop-tart filling that makes them shelf-stable, along with the low moisture content of the dough. So a real savory pop tart would probably need quite a dry pastry, and the filling would need to be extremely salty, probably unpleasantly so - like a Vegemite or something along those lines. Or maybe Spam?

    On the chocolate hummus...don't people make black bean brownies?

    I thought savory pop tarts sound good. Hummus in them is one idea. What about a peanut sauce with vegetables? Or a cheese/spinach one? Don't they already make cream cheese poptarts? If not, they should.

    Except they'd have to be refrigerated, probably. There must be some logistical reason.

    Yeah, I got sucked into that once...someone was raving about some recipe they made on my MFP feed. I tried it and I was..not happy. The texture was just not right.

    They would also have to change the pastry...you wouldn't want their regular sweet pastry with chicken or pizza, right?

    And they'd have to be thicker in order to get any real amount of chicken/cheese/sauce, etc in there? Would they still fit into pop-up toasters?

    So, different pastry, refrigeration or freezing required, thicker product...the question is...would it still be a pop tart?

    That's why I still say that Hot Pockets already fill this market.

    Combo filling would be good in the pretzel poptart.

    I mean, chicken paste would fit in a regular-size Pop-Tart no problem. If you want chunks of something identifiable as meat, then yeah, you're gonna need a Hot Pocket. You're right about the pastry, though.

    Ok, you piqued my interest adding pretzels and chocolate hummus together. Is there any way to add peanut butter with that? :)

    I've had black bean brownies but you'd never know that was an ingredient. They're so rich and yummy!

    If you don't like black beans you will taste them, that stuff is disgusting in my opinion
