The best thing about homemade pop-tarts? Creating your own flavors! Try this version with peanut butter filling and a chocolate glaze.
I know I said I planned to continue on with #PBchocSat even when it looked like the Big Ten Conference wasn’t going to have a season. And I did post once… but then they announced the season would begin in late October and I let myself slack off.
My bad.
But it’s now late October and football starts today!
Since our first game is at noon (against Nebraska) I decided to start with a little morning treat – pop-tarts! I guess I should call them “toaster pastries” as “pop-tart” is a brand name, but does anyone ever call them toaster pastries?
Besides, I didn’t make them in a toaster!
I considered making the crust either peanut butter or chocolate flavored, but decided to stick to classic crust. This way the chocolate glaze, flaky butter crust, and creamy peanut butter filling could all stand out on their own while also work so well together.
Besides these are rich enough already as they are! Not that I am known for shying away from loading up on the rich factor. But once I have to say the less rich version is more than enough to satisfy my cravings.
