Are baked goods AS baked goods any good?
Probably if you’re baked!
Kellogg’s Donut-Flavored Pop Tarts
I’ve never been so high that I’ve thought Pop-Tarts are basically donuts already, but when you really think about it, they like… totally are, man. They’re both handheld baked delights with filling on the inside and pastry on the outside; you don’t have to be trippin’ balls to see the similarities.
So am I like, in the matrix right now ,or did this edible just kick in?!
Let’s find out!
Today’s review is part of a series. Today’s donut-flavored Pop-Tart review is:
Kellogg’s Frosted Apple Fritter Pop-Tarts
According to Kellogg’s, the Frosted Apple Fritter Pop-Tarts feature a flaky crust with hints of fry oil flavor plus delicious apple flavored filling with the perfect balance of flavors of apple and spice, topped with white icing.
“Hints of fry oil flavor.”
Put that on my tombstone.
First things first, we need to talk about this sorry excuse for an icing job. It’s legitimately criminal that they even bestowed these with the word “Frosted” when all you get is a weak drizzle. And it makes even less sense when you consider that an apple fritter is glazed so heavily that you’d go blind if you stare at it for too long.
Whoever runs the frosting machine at Kellogg’s must have been zooted up to the friggin’ Moon when these passed through production.
The second point of business is that these don’t taste like an apple fritter. Fry oil MY ASS.
BUT – those two points aside, this is actually an EXCELLENT Pop-Tart. The key difference between these Frosted Apple Fritter Pop-Tarts and the Frosted Crisp Apple Pop-Tarts is that these are sweeter, while the Crisp Apple ones are more tart. These also pack a nice cinnamon punch, which makes them the reincarnation of the Frosted Apple Strudel Pop-Tarts or the Apple Cinnamon Pop-Tarts – the only unfrosted Pop-Tart that I ever liked.
I shouldn’t have to explain to you why these are better toasted than lukewarm. Have you ever had an apple pie fresh out of the oven? Compare that to a cold piece of pie that you stuffed in a box and let sit for a couple of months. There’s your answer.
Normally I’m more harsh when something is pretty much just another flavor brought back with a new name, but screw it. I absolutely adore these and you will to.
Burning Questions:
- Donuts and Pop-Tarts are nothing alike. Here, try some of this weed.
- I don’t smoke weed. Oh, uh… yeah, me neither.
- What if they made doughnuts stuffed with Pop-Tarts? Oh, buddy, I think you do smoke weed. 😬
