For anyone who has even been torn between two different Pop Tarts flavors, now there is a way to enjoy both at once with the debut of Pop Tarts Mash Ups. While the two-in-one flavored toaster pastries have been sold before under the name Pop Tarts Splitz, the new version comes with even more indulgent flavor combinations to choose from.
The new Pop Tarts Mash Ups are set to debut later this spring and the first flavor combo will be a sweet pairing of Sugar Cookie and Brownie Batter. Fans may remember the Sugar Cookie Pop Tarts from back in 2015, while the Brownie Batter flavor is completely new.
While the hybrid toaster pastries are sure to be a popular breakfast option, they will only be around for a limited time.
