Review: Kellogg's - Chocolate Peanut Butter Pop-Tarts

Kellogg's Chocolate Peanut Butter Pop-Tarts feature a chocolate-flavored pastry crust spread with a chocolate-flavored frosting and filled with a peanut butter filling.

A 10.5-ounce box of six Pop-Tarts was on sale for $2.

Chocolate and peanut butter is a favorite combination for me so I was pretty interested in trying these.

Like most (if not all) Pop-Tarts, these come off pretty sweet and was like eating dessert for breakfast. Most of the sugar seems to come from the frosting which is really sweet but actually has some real chocolate thrown in.

The peanut butter filling melted really nicely from toasting. You might want to be careful not to heat it for too long as the peanut butter might make a molten run for it and make for some potentially difficult toaster cleaning. The filling was very peanut-buttery with a smooth and creamy texture. It goes well with the chocolate notes of the pastry crust and frosting.

The crust was pretty hard, even without toasting, and delivered a light cocoa flavor.

Overall, Kellogg's Chocolate Peanut Butter Pop-Tarts delivers a satisfying combination of chocolate and peanut butter for breakfast (or quick snacking) but like all Pop-Tarts might be a little too much sugar in the morning for some.
