To be honest, it&#8217;s really scary they were able to do so, since most Pop-Tarts don&#8217;t really taste like the flavor they&#8217;re attempting to emulate.  <\/p>\n<p>But I guess that&#8217;s just the power of Black Magic.<\/p>\n<p>Because of its familiar pumpkin pie flavor, I have to say I enjoyed the Limited Edition Frosted Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts, and they&#8217;re definitely somewhere on my Top 10 List of Favorite Pop-Tarts Flavors.  It&#8217;s too bad they&#8217;re a limited edition, but I hope they bring them back next Fall &#8212; without the unnecessary sprinkles.<\/p>\n<p>But if you do happen to get your hands on a box or two of the Limited Edition Frosted Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts, might I suggest sharing them with friends, just like the Pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians shared fowl, beans, nuts and communicable diseases during the first Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 pastry\/50 grams &#8211; 200 calories, 45 grams from fat, 5 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 2 grams of polyunsaturated fat, 1 gram of monounsaturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 170 milligrams of sodium, 35 grams of carbohydrates, less that 1 gram of fiber, 16 grams of sugar, 2 grams of protein and a bunch of vitamins and minerals.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Limited Edition Frosted Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b> $3.50<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 12 pastries<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Giant Eagle<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Pop-Tarts filling tastes like pumpkin pie.
