    I am not too fond of store bought Pop Tarts but I sure do love my home made ones with Nutella and Strawberry jam! Makes me drool just thinking of them. Now I need to go get some Ice Cream!

    recipe please :flowerforyou:

    Pie dough either home made or store bought rolled out. If you want a true Pop Tart shape cut rectangles or use a biscuit cutter and cut out a round. Take a bit of Nutella, spread over leaving the edge free add strawberry jam if desired. top with a second piece for dough. Crimp the edges with a fork and bake. I actually have a Pop Tart cutter I am embarrassed to admit.

    I wonder if anyone has said screw it and just had them both together....

    What together?

    Sorry....my bad. I was talking about a Pop Tart and a Toaster Strudel.
    Toaster strudel on bottom, pop tart on top, ben and jerrys in the middle.

    Seriously? Toaster strudel (squishy and flimsy as it is) on the bottom? A delicious bottom crust of pop tart would be much more suitable. After that I think all flavors are up to the individual. The bottom and top crust protocol screams for a sturdy bottom - the toasted pop tart.

    Hope we get to round 3.



    That's where I tell I you I wouldn't feed pop tarts to my dog, let alone myself, let alone a child.

    I hope not, sugar can cause worms in canines.

    Seriously though, in 500+ responses since my OP no one has actually shown me why they're labeled as "junk" food (pop tarts). I'm especially curious as to how ice cream can be labeled as such? Is it the sugar-phobia?

    Edited for horrid grammar

    because they don't have any significant benefit nutritionally?

    How so? Carbs, fat, protein, vitamins (and some micros too)...

    have you ever heard the term "empty calories"

    don't believe in them?

    What's EMPTY about them? Please explain it to me. Define it.
    They must be special snowflake calories - or maybe elite calories. All the ones I eat aren't empty - they contain either protein (4 kcal/g), carbohydrates (4 kcal/g), fats (9 kcal/g) or alcohols (7 kcal/g). Doesn't look empty to me.

    I :heart: :heart: :heart: Pop-Tarts! I :heart: ice cream. Never dreamed of putting the two together. Likely won't because I can just imagine the one he!! of a sugar headache I would get from that. So, yes, I truly limit both in my diet. Having a package of Pop-Tarts every afternoon at my desk is a good part of what ended up driving me to this site. *sigh*

    Oh, and I wouldn't turn a toaster strudel down, either! :wink:

    Have you met the cow that made it or did you get it in a store?
    Price?
    How was the milk used to make the ice cream produced? Were the cows stressed?
    What type of injections were the cow given?
    Is the belief that your ice cream isn't junk based on personal taste buds?




    I'll accept a nutritional content label if that's all ya got but I'd rather know about the cow's stress levels and vaccination history.

    What about in children? And adults for that matter?


    Adults, a-ok, you made that clear.



    Should children eat pop tarts, yes or no?


    I'm curious.

    How about the same type of filling you put in a cinnamon roll. something like brown sugar, cinnamon, butter and a bit of flour.

    Seriously, why can't empty calories be defined here? Or the lack of nutritional value be pointed out?

    I love the fact that you are eating wholesome ice cream, I hope that everyone does the same. Was it you or somebody else in part 1 that made his own? I'd buy that for a dollar.

    Nope

    Most people: all good in moderation
    a few people: butthurt whine whine that might work for you on your calorie allowance, but it won't work for me
    a few people: would rather have veggies. veggies =/= poptarts.
    one person: pop tarts = illegal drugs and smoking.

    Lol - this is such a good summary ... it made me think this could almost be a summary of nearly every post I have ever read on mfp!!!

    Apparently we now have the ridiculous and really rather rude comment that pop tarts = melanoma!

    Sorry, I was trying to spread some more propaganda. Seemed appropriate. It obviously can not.
