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 Boston Creme Donut Pop-Tarts
Kellogg’s Frosted Boston Creme Donut Pop-Tarts feature a custard-flavored filling inside the classic pastry, all topped with a sheet of chocolatey icing.
On the surface, it looks the part about as best as a Pop-Tart ever will.
That is, if your Boston Creme donut was frosted by a toddler with finger paint…
Or me, when I’m all torched up on giggle nuggets.
Immediately I’m impressed with the custard-flavored filling. It’s best not to look at it because it sure is ugly, but it does a very good job of replicating a Boston creme. It’s very sweet – kind of like the Confetti Cupcake Pop-Tarts, but more custardy.
The only issue here (and it’s a pretty big one) is that the chocolatey icing just can’t compare to the chocolate frosting that’s oh-so critical to a Boston Creme donut. The chocolate flavor is so slight that you can’t help but notice a key part of the equation is missing. I think this would have been way more successful if they did strips of chocolate filling mixed in with the custardy one – like they do in the S’mores Pop-Tart. Without it, it just tastes like a generic pastry filled with sugar.
So yes, it is true that Frosted Boston Creme Donut Pop-Tarts would hit the spot if you’ve got the Munchies. But the same could be said of any Pop-Tart, Hot Pocket, can of Chef Boyardee, you name it. ..
When you’re not higher than a bat’s ass? There are just way better options in the Pop-Tart lineup.
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. 😬
