Pop Tarts

I felt the same way when I saw the peanut butter variety of pop tarts. I chose not to buy them. But if you want one, then have one. Just remember that it's empty calories that's not really providing any nutrition.

You're making a mistake!

The brown sugar and cinnamon is my absolute favorite flavor of pop tarts (without frosting, I don't like that kind, but the frosted kind is much more available). However, I haven't had any in several years. They aren't the slightest bit healthy.

I'm surprised you just now noticed this flavor. As a fan, I can attest that this flavor has been around for at least 15 years, and probably much longer because I think I had them as a child but I am not 100% positive of that.

So, I haven't had them in years (Not that I was avoiding them but I had other goodies in mind!) but I saw a Brown Sugar Cinnamon one in the grocery the other day and it caught my attention! I absolutely LOVE cinnamon! I never saw that flavor before. I think the last one I had was a chocolate chip one.

Anyway, is it worth buying? calories Or just ehhh?

What's your favorite Pop Tart flavor?

(Or should I just get fig newtons? Lol)

Pop tarts > fig newtons all day every day! Fig newtons are really high in calories for what you get, IMHO. As for pop tarts, there are only 3 flavors worth occasionally eating:

Frosted strawberry (with sprinkles)
Frosted cherry (with sprinkles)
Brown sugar & cinnamon

I don't eat them often because there are usually other goodies that sound way better, but sometimes I just feel like a Pop tart! Room temperature is my preferred way to eat them, although the brown sugar cinnamon ones are good lightly toasted with a glass of milk...now I want a pop tart.

I love the brown cinnamon sugar Pop Tarts and the s'mores ones. However after reading the book "Salt, Sugar, Fat" and learning that Pop Tarts were created because the creator's daughter wanted CAKE for breakfast and a Pop Tart was an alternate solution that could be pre-packaged and boxed... not so appetizing. Plus, there's way too much sugar and they leave me hungry an hour afterwards. It's been so long since I've had one that I don't even look twice in the grocery store anymore.

Growing up, pop tarts were plentiful in my house. My brother refused to eat any of them but the brown sugar cinnamon flavor, but he was like that with everything! Personally, I can't stand that flavor (but maybe it was because I was around it so often). My favorites were the Cookies & Cream, S'mores, and Wildberry. Now that they have Peanut Butter, those are my new favorites (seriously, they're so much better)! However, for 200 calories a piece, I hardly believe they're worth it. Want to splurge? Toaster strudels have always been superior in my opinion, and are usually around 160-180 each, not much less but so much tastier!

I brought back 2 of these in my luggage on my last return from the USA. I'm pretty sure the TSA went in and intentionally smashed 'em.

I effing love pop tarts.

I have a pop tart maker, though I say (pop taht makah), where you make the dough, fill with whatever you want then shut and walah.. warm pastry.

Nutella with vanilla frosting is my favorite.

The brown sugar cinnamon ones are my 13 year old's favorite. Actually I think it's the only ones she will eat... I haven't ever tried them though, so I don't know for sure. They had a seasonal one out this year at Christmas, Sugar Cookie. Now those things were delicious and I cannot wait for them to come out again next year.

Mmmmmmmmm. Brown sugar cinnamon (not frosted) is my absolute favorite. I've even found a recipe and made them from scratch. I don't eat them a lot, but when I really want one, I find a way to work it into my day.

WHAT!!!!

Well, what are you waiting for!!!! What's the recipe?

Special K pastry crisps taste just like pop tarts. they are 100 calorie packs and very yummy! Try those, and they have cinnamon ones too!
