For me, Pop Tarts are pure nostalgia. My folks never would have given us
such trashy stuff, but given that we spent so much time with our
grandparents who spoiled us rotten (and didn't have to pay our dental
bills), pop tarts (and "Danish go-rounds") were normal fare on the weekends.
I'd like to give MerryB's recipe a go - I'll likely take them to work, and
give them to the folks there - I don't need the extra calories!!
