If you like cherry toaster pastries, then there\u2019s no reason why you wouldn\u2019t like these. The outer shell of each tart has the same crisp sturdiness that I\u2019ve come to expect from such treats, and I felt its slight saltiness helped keep the cherry filling from tasting too sweet.<\/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\/09\/Limited-Edition-Unicorn-Power-Frosted-Cherry-Pop-Tarts-3.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Unicorn Power Frosted Cherry Pop Tarts 3\" title=\"Limited Edition Unicorn Power Frosted Cherry Pop-Tarts 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Even so, the cherry flavor isn\u2019t prominent. It\u2019s red, and I can tell that it\u2019s a fruit filling, but if you told me this was a strawberry or raspberry Pop-Tart, I would believe you.<\/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\/09\/Limited-Edition-Unicorn-Power-Frosted-Cherry-Pop-Tarts-2.jpg?resize=450%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Unicorn Power Frosted Cherry Pop Tarts 2\" title=\"Limited Edition Unicorn Power Frosted Cherry Pop-Tarts 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On top of Kellogg\u2019s total lack of flavor creativity, I also feel the need to call out its decorating skills. Since the icing is the only aspect that\u2019s genuinely unicorn-themed other than the box itself, I expected some pretty elaborate art. Instead, both designs are a bare-bones edible ink stamp that barely covers half of the surface area of each tart. On top of that, they\u2019re both blurry, and they look worse than the multicolored sprinkles that frosted Pop-Tarts are usually sprinkled with.<\/p>\n<p>Totally not Instagramable!<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Even though I prefer my fruit-filled Pop-Tarts to be served cold, I ended up liking these more once they were warmed in the toaster oven, partly because warm food on cold mornings is one of the greatest simple pleasures in life, but mostly because I could pretend the cherry filling was magical unicorn blood.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t let the pretty box fool you \u2013 Unicorn Power Pop-Tarts are far from anything special. Even though they\u2019re as acceptable as any other cherry toaster pastry, they aren\u2019t worth trekking to Sam\u2019s Club to pick up, and they\u2019re not nearly interesting enough to make me want to finish the 32-count club pack I bought.<\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $5.98<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 1 lb. 13.3 oz.
