If you’re a blueberry pie lover, I highly recommend this blueberry Pop-Tart for you! Believe it or not, this Pop-Tart has dried blueberries, dried grapes, and dried apples. The filling looks just like blueberry pie filling, and it goes great with the crunch of the crust pocket.

There’s nothing like a melty campfire s’more! Luckily, you can get one smooshed into a Pop-Tart. No campfire needed! Instead of a normal Pop-Tart crust, you’ll get a tasty graham cracker crust with a gooey marshmallow and chocolate filling and a frosted chocolate top. I highly recommend toasting these Pop-Tarts to get the full s’mores experience.


Brown Sugar Cinnamon

Brown sugar cinnamon Pop-Tarts remind me of fall in a toaster pastry shell. If you’re craving a tasty fall dessert, these can satisfy your craving in a pinch! When you first bite into it and get to the soft center, your taste buds get hit with a sweet molasses and cinnamon flavor. The top of this Pop-Tart has a light brown frosting on top, adding a little extra sweetness. This one also tastes great toasted as the filling melts a little from the heat.


Cherry

The cherry Pop-Tart flavor is reminiscent of summer with the pretty light pink frosting and the bright red sprinkles. The filling tastes a little like cherry pie, which I think is another reminder of summer. The cherry filling actually has dried cherries and dried apples, creating a tasty burst of fruity flavor inside that famous pastry shell.

The unfrosted strawberry Pop-Tart is essentially the same thing as the strawberry Pop-Tart, but without the white frosting and sprinkles. I think this Pop-Tart tastes just as great without the frosting and allows you to focus on that fruity flavor. This Pop-Tart is a great one to put in the freezer and eat cold as a frosty strawberry treat. It also cuts back on sugar and overall calories.


Wild Berry

The wild berry Pop-Tart is appealing and inviting to the eye due to the bright purple frosting with a blue drizzle. Not only is it fun-looking, but it’s bursting with flavor on the inside with a purple-colored mix of dried pears, dried strawberries, dried apples, and natural wild berry flavor. I recommend eating this one right out of the package.


Chocolate Chip

Little chocolate chips get baked into the tasty cookie crust, while the middle of the Pop-Tart has a smooth chocolate filling. It feels like you’re eating a chocolate chip cookie filled with fudge. Then the top of the Pop-Tart has chocolate frosting drizzle, which is like the cherry on top!

The raspberry Pop-Tart is very sweet, yet I think it has a slightly tangy flavor due to the mix of dried raspberries, dried pears, and dried apples in the filling.

The unfrosted blueberry Pop-Tart is the same as the frosted one and has a similar flavor profile.

This one tastes great out of the freezer, like a frozen fruity treat.
