Peanut butter sandwiches, M&M's, Reese's Pieces/Cups/Minis/Cereal, peanut butter frosting, shakes, Abba Zabba's, no bake cookies, O'Henry Bars, muddy buddies. . . I would eat them all in one day. Peanut butter in pretty much any form is delightful to my taste buds and sometimes I will even just eat peanut butter by itself. My stomach is growling just thinking about it! I don't think I need an intervention or anything!
Awhile back I was at the social hub of Emery and Carbon Counties, aka. Wal-Mart, when I spotted the perfect candidate to do a product review for: Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pop-Tarts! Doesn't that sound delectable?!! Two of my favorite things, Pop-Tarts and Peanut Butter, together at last!
And now, my product review:
The box is what really enticed me in. It was wise for Kelloggs to use the color orange, because that is a color that invokes instant hunger!
The price was a little less than the old, regular Pop-Tarts, but I soon discovered that is probably because there were only three packages inside the box instead of the regular four.
When I opened the box I finally knew what Charlie felt like when he unwrapped his chocolate bar and feasted his eyes on his rare golden ticket! These Pop-Tarts are wrapped in what I'm sure is pure gold!
Just ignore the blue writing... Pure gold!
I didn't win a trip to the factory or anything, but they smelled good enough to eat, so I plopped them in the toaster and patiently waited. Peanut butter for breakfast? Such a good idea! Here's what I discovered about myself: I love peanut butter, I don't love hot peanut butter inside a pop-tart. Sad, I know! They weren't disgusting or anything. The flavor was actually really delicious, I just couldn't get past the texture of the liquefied peanut butter!
Someone in the house really liked them, and I'm glad they did because they are all gone now. I might have liked them better uncooked, but I didn't try it to find out. If I were using the star system, I would give this 3 out of 5. Appearance is good, flavor is good, texture is gagging! I think I'll stick to the pop-tarts I know and love, like Brown Sugar and Cinnamon, or Cookie's and Cream, or Blueberry!
I hope I don't get kicked out of the peanut butter fan club or anything! My future would be ruined!

I for one appreciate your honesty. I hate to try something new and find out it is not up to snuff.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I like trying new things, but I'm with you and am always disappointed when it's not as good as I imagined it being.
DeleteI am glad you never ate them all because I done my own product review on your leftover's,at first I thought alright Reeses for breakfast, they weren't to bad however I still prefer plain old chocolate pop tart's, even better,easier and quicker is a handful of chocolate chips (semi sweet of course good for the heart) to add even more delight is to wash them down with Dr. Pepper it is like eating cherry chocolates yum!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! That is a good review! Thanks! And such good advice. . . Chocolate and Dr. Pepper for breakfast. I can see where my eating habits came from! ;)
