It did an adequate job of containing the pastry\u2019s filling, which was surprisingly less runny than I was expecting it to be, and the acceptably sweet frosting gave a satisfying crunch to top off the experience. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Exclusive-Flavor-Frosted-Chocolatey-Salted-Caramel-Pop-Tarts-3.jpg?resize=600%2C449&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Exclusive Flavor Frosted Chocolatey Salted Caramel Pop Tarts 3\" title=\"Exclusive Flavor Frosted Chocolatey Salted Caramel Pop-Tarts 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"449\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Calling them \u201cadequate\u201d or \u201cacceptable\u201d is about as kind as I can be towards these, though. The dry pastry shell needed more cocoa to make it taste sufficiently \u201cchocolatey,\u201d and the salted caramel and chocolate fillings both ended up being so faint that they almost completely canceled each other out. <\/p>\n<p>Even the frosting tasted like regular royal icing and left me wanting more salted caramel. If I had been eating one of these first thing in the morning, you could have told me it was a S\u2019mores Pop-Tart and I would have believed you. <\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Like all Pop-Tarts, these are best eaten warm. Toasting them turns the filling into little rivers of chocolate and salted caramel lava, and that helped bring the fillings&#8217; flavors forward a little more.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>While Chocolatey Salted Caramel Pop-Tarts are far from the worst toaster pastries to eat for a quick breakfast, you might want to split a box of these with a friend or two, because their lack of uniqueness and distinct flavor is guaranteed to leave you bored and disinterested before you finish the oversized box. <\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.68<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 16-pack<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Walmart<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Nutrition Facts:<\/b> (1 pastry) 200 calories, 50 calories from fat, 6 grams of total fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 220 milligrams of sodium, 35 grams of carbohydrates, less than 1 gram of dietary fiber, and 2 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is it?
