Icing-Heavy Breakfast Pastries

Pillsbury Toaster Strudel Mega Icing is Back in Two Flavors

The Pillsbury Toaster Strudel Mega Icing has been revived by the brand as part of its endeavor to bring back the fan favorite version of its signature breakfast pastry and satisfy consumer demand.

The product features the brand's signature pastry and comes with an oversized serving of icing with each one to encourage consumers to top them with ample sweetness according to their preferences. The product comes in two flavor options including Strawberry and Cream Cheese & Strawberry.

The Pillsbury Toaster Strudel Mega Icing breakfast pastries were discontinued back in 2015 but have been revived given the overwhelming popularity of the icing in the experience, according to the brand. The product is making its way to retailers later this month for $3.99 per six-serving box.
