\"Cupcake<\/p>\n

The only problems with cupcakes are that they’re not really portable or pocketable. <\/p>\n

Yes, you could stick a cupcake in one of those plastic clamshell holders that are specially designed to hold just one of them and carry it around in a bag. But if you don’t want cupcake frosting smearing that clear plastic, you have to be very careful with that bag. No dipsy-doodles. Cupcakes also don’t fit in pockets. Don’t @ me your cleaning bills because you wanted to prove me wrong!<\/p>\n

But Cupcake Pop-Tarts are portable AND pocketable. No frosting on plastic to worry about. No Googling to find out how to get rid of cake stains. No worrying about peeling back the foil or paper baking cups. And, no one is going to ask you, “What’s the special occasion?”<\/p>\n

Cupcake Pop-Tarts are available in one rehashed flavor \u2014 Frosted Confetti Cupcake \u2014 and one new variety \u2014 Frosted Chocolate Cupcake.<\/p>\n

Frosted Confetti Cupcake Pop-Tarts<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

\"Frosted<\/p>\n

Frosted Confetti Cupcake Pop-Tarts are 2011’s Frosted Confetti Cake Pop-Tarts with an added syllable. Are they really the same? Well, processed food production has evolved over the years, so I’m sure there might’ve been some tweaks made. I’m 95% sure the 2019 version is not EXACTLY the same as the 2011 version. But I’m 100% sure the Pop-Tarts image used on both boxes are EXACTLY the same. See for yourself.<\/p>\n

\"Frosted<\/p>\n

I reviewed the Frosted Confetti Cake Pop-Tarts back in 2011, and I found them to be “<\/a>yummy enough that I would put them somewhere at the bottom of my list of Top 10 Favorite Pop-Tarts Flavors of All-Time.” Of course, I wrote that a few dozen new Pop-Tarts flavors ago, so that’s no longer the case. <\/p>\n

\"Frosted<\/p>\n

Whether toasted or straight from the foil wrapper, they have a butteriness and sweetness that equates to a flavor that I would consider as “cake.” So much so that if Kellogg’s wants to rename this flavor again, it could call it Birthday Cake (oh wait, it looks like <\/a>that was already done). So if you’re into birthday cake-flavored products or you REALLY missed Frosted Confetti Cake Pop-Tarts, go and buy a box.<\/p>\n

Frosted Chocolate Cupcake Pop-Tarts<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

\"Frosted<\/p>\n

This one is, well, chocolatey. It has a chocolatey crust, chocolatey icing with a white squiggle (like Hostess CupCakes), and a sweet white filling.<\/p>\n

Unlike Confetti Cupcake, this one’s flavor doesn’t make me think of cake or even a Hostess CupCake. Instead, it reminds me more of other chocolatey Pop-Tarts varieties. Also, I found its chocolatey flavor to be more prominent when the pastry is not toasted. <\/p>\n

\"Frosted<\/p>\n

Overall, it’s a good non-fruity Pop-Tart, but another aspect of it that disappointed me was the amount of filling in the ones I ate prior to writing this review (which was four). I wish there was more of it because when I bite into these, I don’t feel the filling ooze out a little when they’re toasted, which is one of the best things about eating a Pop-Tart. It’s also the worst thing because if I toasted one, that filling is like lava in my mouth.<\/p>\n

Maybe I got a bad box, but having that oozing sensation would’ve been a nice touch and a more accurate representation of what it’s like to bite into a creme-filled cupcake.<\/p>\n

Are Frosted Confetti Cupcake and Frosted Chocolate Cupcake Pop-Tarts good? <\/p>\n

Yes. And, I’d like to add, they make excellent bread for ice cream sandwiches. <\/p>\n

Are they yummy enough that I would put them somewhere at the bottom of my list of Top 10 Favorite Pop-Tarts Flavors of All-Time? <\/p>\n

No. But both are definitely in my Top 25.<\/p>\n

DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received a free samples of the Pop-Tarts. Doing so did not influence my review in any way, although it seems like it. But I assure you it did not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
