\"Pop-Tarts<\/a><\/p>\n

Dear Peanut Butter,<\/p>\n

I get it. I\u2019m a realist. You\u2019re salty and sweet, ooey-gooey and down right delectable, and I was wrong to have tried to hog you all to myself. I can see monogamy just can\u2019t work for you. <\/p>\n

What with you going behind my back with Jelly or Honey all those years, it should have come as no surprise to me when I learned you really did have a thing for Bacon. And don\u2019t get me started on Bananas, or, as even my more adventurous friends tell me, Pickles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Peanut Butter, it\u2019s time for you<\/i> to be a realist. We were made for each other.<\/p>\n

You know how I know? Because when it came time to pair you up in all the convenience of a toaster pastry, that matchmaker Kellogg\u2019s company didn\u2019t hitch your wagon to Jelly or send you a valentine from Honey. No, they stuffed you inside of me, and damned if I don\u2019t admit we are perfect together.<\/p>\n

Why hide our love from the world any longer? I say we announce that we\u2019re back and better than ever. They thought our best days were behind us, what with Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Puffs no longer being the novelty it once was, and our time in pretty much every conceivable Snickers form having run its course. But there\u2019s just something about this new love, born from the Pop-Tart, which just works.<\/p>\n

\"Pop-Tarts<\/a><\/p>\n

You adorn yourself in a golden wrapper, but it\u2019s what\u2019s beneath that shining attire which counts. Could it be our delicious utility together? Sometimes dull and uninteresting when eaten at room temperature, our Pop-Tart is perfect in any climate. <\/p>\n

\"Pop-Tarts<\/a><\/p>\n

Tantalizing with a semisweet chocolate aroma, each slightly crispy bite of the exterior frosted shell yields to your peanuty and salty gooeyness. It\u2019s homey and familiar \u2013 not pretentious or overly oily like some of those organic designer peanut butters; yet at the same time, it\u2019s wholesome and full bodied, like the Midwestern girl next door. I love how you don\u2019t use chemicals like hydrogenated oils to taste your best, proving that natural taste can definitely go a long way.<\/p>\n

\"Pop-Tarts<\/a><\/p>\n

Did I mentioned the chew? I know there are some who scoff at your ability to stick to the roof of their mouths, but as we come together in one sweet, salty, chocolaty and smooth amalgamation, even the most rushed eater is forced to reckon with the forces of mechanical digestion and savor our love. Even our outer shell, a bit doughy, tasty and bland on its own (despite the cocoa tint) gets new life during this phase of our relationship, as we rekindle the classic flavors of a Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Cup.<\/p>\n

I could go on forever but I think you know what I\u2019m saying. Peanut Butter, it\u2019s hard to screw us up. And yes, Pop-Tart has tarnished the flavorful marriage of power couples before. But in this case, we don\u2019t just go together, we go together in one of the best Pop-Tart flavors that has ever been conceived. <\/p>\n

True, there may be minor flaws to our love \u2013 you are a bit thin, you know, and I\u2019d love to love more of your filling \u2013 but it\u2019s nothing we can\u2019t overcome. But promise me one thing, Peanut Butter. Even if Pop-Tarts decides to start paring you with your old flings, just remember that I, Chocolate, was your first true love.<\/p>\n

Love,<\/p>\n

Chocolate<\/p>\n

\nFatguy Food Blog<\/a><\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty! Frosted Chocolate Peanut Butter
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> $1.98
\nSize:<\/b> 6 toaster pastries\/box
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Walmart
\nRating:<\/b> 9 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Perhaps the single most memorable Pop-Tart I\u2019ve ever eaten. Exceptional balance of chocolate and peanut butter flavor. Tastes like a slightly melted version of a Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter cup, except without the gritty peanut butter texture. Ooey-gooey peanut butter filling, even when not warmed. Sticks in the nooks and crannies within your mouth.
\nCons:<\/b> Only six Toaster Pastries instead of the usual eight. I wish these Pastries were pregnant with an bulging baby of peanut butter filling. On the heavier side of the sugar spectrum for Pop-Tarts. Probably not best to eat the entire box without some sort of liquid to wash it down. Writing a love letter to a condiment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
