These candy versions of the popular Pop Tart breakfast sweets receive a sugary update with the addition of Now & Later taffy candies inside the flaky pastry. The fusion of flavors offers a new texture to the Pop Tart squares that is much more sweet, chewy and creamy.
These Pop Tarts are made from scratch using a homemade flaky pastry dough. The pastry is filled Now & Later candies that are melted down and mixed with butter to achieve a much more liquid form of the candy. The strawberry pink filling is layered inside the dough and then baked. To finish off the Pop Tart in traditional form, a layer of vanilla icing sugar glaze is placed overtop with pink sprinkles and finely chopped Now & Later candy squares. Each bite is sure to be filled with sweet taffy flavor.
