The ones I used to get were pretty plain. just the filling and the covering pastry and that was enough. It seems the pop tart has evolved slightly and now has some sort of topping like 'frosting'. I'll get back to you on this subject later as I have a different one to discuss.
What I would like to discuss is the debate on whether you need to need to heat them up at all, and after my experience with this type and another type I have learnt something. If you were to ask me before this I would have said 100% heat them up all the time, (the pastry and filling need to heat up to improve the flavour of the pastry and the performance of the filling) but this flavour breaks that rule with delicious results! (And after experimenting with another flavour not heated up, I would say that Ice Cream Shoppe is the only flavour that's nice straight out of the packet.)
This type is not quite your common pop tart. For a start the pastry isn't as thick as a normal pop tart meaning it's already quite pliable when you pull it out of packet. The filling is the key to why you can eat these straight up though, it tastes like white chocolate or vanilla and it's consistency is like warm nutella. Delicious!
Putting these in the toaster makes them harder to handle and doesn't add anything to the experience. As I've said the filling is already soft and the pastry is really more like a cookie as the name would suggest so it really is like eating a thin cream filled cookie. There's a swirl of chocolate 'frosting' on top which gives a slight flavour boost but is more for show I think. I'm going to get some more of these.
In conclusion, yummy, rule-breaking pastries!
