Heart Shaped Strawberry Pop Tarts
Looking for a fun breakfast pastry for a Valentine's Day treat? These heart shaped homemade Pop Tarts are made with an easy puff pastry like crust and filled with strawberry jam for a delicious take on your favorite toaster pastry.
My friend, you may strongly dislike me when if you decide to make these. Not because they taste bad. In fact, quite the opposite. They are just too good.
You won't be able to stop eating them and your waistline will not thank you for it! But if you are looking for a special breakfast or brunch (or snack!) for Valentine's day then you are going to want to try these. These Pop Tarts are by no means healthy. The yummiest treats rarely are! The amount of butter in the pastry and sugar in the icing takes care of that! But at least I know what's in them. You can of course switch out the filling for anything you like - raspberry jam, cherry jam, Nutella....they would all be delish! Strawberry is just always my personal go-to. And a good quality one - without corn syrup. The Hero and Bonne Maman brands are my favorite.
