Pink Lemonade. Root Beer Soda. Jolly Ranchers.
Of all the bizarre flavors Pop Tarts has ever done, this one’s got to be the most twisted!
Kellogg’s Pretzel Pop Tarts
Guys, I’ve got Dad Jokes for days, and I’m going to share some while I sit here and wait for my new Kellogg’s Pretzel Pop Tarts to toast.
Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon?
It had great food, but no atmosphere!What do you call a fake noodle?
An impasta!What cheese can never be yours?
Nacho cheese!What does a nosy pepper do?
Gets jalapeño business!What do you call an overweight psychic?
A four-chin teller!
Yeah, so all my dad jokes are about food or being fat, but it’s because I can’t wait to tear into these very exciting Pretzel Pop Tarts.
And at least I don’t have to worry about getting fat today, because pretzels are low in carbs…
Because they’re knot bread!
DISCLAIMER: These things are absolutely loaded with carbs.
This review is part of a series. Today’s Pretzel Pop Tart is:
Kellogg’s Cinnamon Sugar Pop Tarts
If you haven’t already guessed, Kellogg’s Pretzel Pop Tarts introduce a brand new pretzel crust complete with surface salt.
Make no mistake I can smell the hell out of the pretzel as soon as I tear open the package.
I tried nibbling around the corners to isolate the crust and, well… for most bites I mostly tasted normal Pop Tart dough. BUT, every once in a while the Pretzel Gods put all the pieces together and I was hit with the salty pretzel vibe they were going for. It’s just a shame it’s not consistent on the palate.
I made my way towards the cinnamon sugar interior and quickly realize I like this more than the other flavor in this line – the Chocolate Pretzel Pop Tarts. The filling combined with the salted crust gives me a little reminder of those cinnamon sugar soft pretzels you buy in the mall while you’re waiting for your iPhone to get fixed, or when you drive to the mall with the sole purpose of getting an Auntie Anne’s soft pretzel.
It doesn’t realize its full pretzel potential, but it’s still a darn tasty shell for a Pop Tart.
Toasting improves the experience on every metric. The salt pops a bit more, the crust gets a little crispy, and the warm filling comforts you. More than anything it turns up the pretzel, and this Pretzel Tart goes incredibly well with cinnamon sugar.
It is still worth pointing out that your expectations heading in will probably cause a little letdown when the pretzel flavor isn’t super pronounced.
Wonder if a little mustard can fix that…
I’m not even mad at how much I enjoyed this.
Burning Questions:
- Why did the police suspect the pretzel? Because he was twisted!
- If you eat too many pretzels on Halloween, what happens the next day? November Thirst!
- Your pretzel jokes suck. I am in-salted!
