They sounded more up my breakfast alley than flavors like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2021\/06\/30\/kelloggs-peach-cobbler-pop-tarts-review\/\">Peach Cobbler<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2021\/06\/01\/mystery-flavor-pop-tarts-mister-e-review\/\">Everything Bagel<\/a>. Turns out I was wrong. From my first glance at this box, I feared something had gone awry. The packaging couldn\u2019t be more lackluster, and it represents the contents accurately.<\/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\/2022\/06\/ptsnick2.jpeg?resize=500%2C667&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Snickerdoodle Pop Tarts Cracks\" title=\"ptsnick2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Straight out of the foil, these Pop-Tarts are too soft and crumbly to hold themselves together. One was splitting so badly along multiple fault lines that it could definitely never be placed in a conventional toaster. I thought it was a fluke, but upon picking up the other one, it became clear that it, too, was ready to fall apart unless I used the utmost care and immediately set it down. They\u2019re sprinkled with coarse-grained sugar, which is nice in many applications but not what one typically rolls snickerdoodles in. These sugar pebbles atop the sandy-bordering-on-gray pastry base make for an ugly appearance, but there\u2019s no reason to hold that against them just yet.<\/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\/2022\/06\/ptsnick3.jpeg?resize=500%2C667&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Snickerdoodle Pop Tarts Filling\" title=\"ptsnick3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll eat Pop-Tarts any way they come to me, so I set about snacking on discrepant pieces of the first pastry as an initial test while I waited for the second to toast (with a silent prayer it didn\u2019t collapse in the process). They taste pretty generic, and I can\u2019t keep them from further falling apart in my hands. I\u2019m missing the classic tang you\u2019d typically find in a snickerdoodle, usually present thanks to cream of tartar that adds flavor and chew to the cookie. The filling is weirdly viscous and kind of gluey, like what you\u2019d find in a not great pecan pie.<\/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\/2022\/06\/ptsnick05.jpeg?resize=500%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Snickerdoodle Pop Tarts Stretch\" title=\"ptsnick05.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The toasted pastry emerged almost slightly burnt in places, but it managed to only lose one corner to crumbliness. The darker toasted parts of this remind me of burnt marshmallows, which isn\u2019t normally a bad thing but isn\u2019t anything I associate with snickerdoodles. The more I ate of both the toasted and untoasted tarts, the more both seemed to be mostly flavored like cinnamon-y marshmallows.<\/p>\n<p>I refuse to believe this is a thing that anyone does, but because the box always claims that you can enjoy them frozen, I threw one in the freezer to complete the experience. The cooling muted some of the marshmallow flavor, but the filling is even less agreeable when it\u2019s cold, stretching as you pull off a piece and slowly contracting in an unappetizing fashion.<\/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\/2022\/06\/ptsnick6.jpeg?resize=500%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Snickerdoodle Pop Tarts Toasted\" title=\"ptsnick6.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Everything about this flavor seems thrown together, possibly by someone who\u2019s never eaten a snickerdoodle or made a Pop-Tart. They aren\u2019t bad necessarily, although the filling texture is off, but there\u2019s nothing to really set them apart or make them worth trying. They could as easily have been called \u201cSugar and Cinnamon\u201d or \u201cCinnamon Roll\u201d or maybe \u201cCinnamon Corn Syrup\u201d as \u201cSnickerdoodle,\u201d and because I consider the regular Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon version to be top-tier, it makes me wonder why they\u2019d bother with these.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $3.49<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 8 count box<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Jewel-Osco<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (2 pastries) 380 calories, 11 grams of total fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 440 milligrams of sodium, 67 grams of total carbohydrates, 1 gram of dietary fiber, 24 grams of total sugars, and 4 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I heard there was a Snickerdoodle Pop-Tart out, I was excited because I happen to love cookies, and I figured it\u2019s hard to screw up something like cinnamon and sugar, right?
