Pop Tarts
Replies

Oh, this just reminded me--when I was a kid we didn't have a toaster. I had pop tarts a couple times warmed in the microwave and couldn't understand what the fuss was all about. Then I went to college and bought a toaster.
I, too, have experienced this inferior "microtart". I'm so glad you finally saw the toaster light...I am only slightly saddened that it took a couple of decades for you.
Now that you understand the Good News of toasted poptarts, go forth and spread your knowledge with the uninformed masses (many of whom are in this very thread blaspheming against the good name of poptarts (and more specifically, against the obviously superior frosted brown sugar cinnamon poptart)).
Godspeed, brave and noble warrior.

I remember Pop Tarts. My favs are the non-frosted Blueberry ones. Never buy them anymore, but perhaps I will someday.0

I'm guessing you skipped a few pages of this thread?0 -
mm I love apple blast flavour, tastes like warm apple pie ^-^0

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)
I don't know what you wrote... I'm too busy falling in love with the shoe in your profile pic.

cover them in melted chocolate. wait, what? sorry. covering things in melted chocolate is my stock answer for a lot of things.
unfrosted poptarts covered in melted chocolate are delicious. these VDAY 'cards' were a hit with the 2nd-graders. i never was a fan until we made these.

^^You, I like!! And yes to the chocolate/peanut butter ones as they are my fav - toasted, of course.
But kuddos to those who you who seriously wanted to argue the nutritional value on a "pop tart" thread. I swear, do you go around telling kids that the Easter Bunny isn't real??0 -

I ate a lot of Pop Tarts in my youth...I was very fond of them. (Probably one of my main food groups as a kid, to be honest.) I recently bought them for my kids and then had one and...well, it wasn't that great. I KNOW, I KNOW. I was sad. Then I ate a cookie to make up for the boring Pop Tart.
However, my reason for posting is...how did I get to page 7 and there's no recipe for THIS yet????

Straight out of the package?!??
What part of toaster pastry do you not understand?
Actually, I *DID* toast the first one. Didn't like it. Some said they liked it straight out of the package so I tried it like that. Still sad pastry.
Found recipes to make your own though!

They are so-so nutritionally. Fairly high in cals. The real danger, however, is that the Pop-Tart will ignite in the toaster.
Here's a time-lapse series of an experiment called "Strawberry Pop-Tart Blowtorches," in which PT flames reached "a maximum height of about 18 inches above the top of the toaster."

I would stay away just because of the amount of sugar and refined carbs. There are other healthier ways to get your sweet cinnamon craving taken care of.0

I will say, If it's something you like from time to time, you can buy a box and reserve it for a treat from time to time. No foods should be forbidden, everything in moderation!!! #KeepUpTheGoodWork0

They're not exactly nutritious of course, but the majority of people don't eat only things that give them nutrients, and most of us don't eat only when we're hungry, we eat because we enjoy food too, so having a random poptart now and then if you fancy it isn't going to hurt - just make sure it doesn't tip you over your daily sugars/whatevers. Our bodies do still need sugar after all, so if you're within your daily level, it's all good. It's not like you plan on having one a day or anything (hopefully, lol.) Enjoy.0

I think for most people 1 poptart for desert is sensible (I wouldn't eat it for breakfast because it isn't really going to give you fuel for your day and you will be hungry 2 hours later) For me they are forbidden. I can't explain it. If you were to ask me if you could eat any bad for you food right now I would say a breaded chicken sandwich at a fast food place, or a bag of chips. Sweets aren't really a priority for me other than fruit, my mind just doesn't crave them. However...if brought into the house they are like a drug and I can't stop. I ate a whole box of lucky charms over a 3 day weekend just myself. So I most likely would have eaten 4 poptarts at a time if they were here and felt guilty and would get discouraged etc But that is the difference between someone just trying to cut calories and eat in moderation and someone who has a true problem with food. Although I think we all have that one food that's not coming into the house because you won't stop at just one.0

I used to love the strawberry ones with the icing! And I would eat both - a whopping 400 calories:noway: But after not having them for a while and eating somewhat more healthy, I find they are just not that tasty to me any more.0
