- While pop-tarts are baking, make glaze. Place powdered sugar in a bowl. Pour milk slowing until it has a consistency of really thick syrup. 1/2 a tablespoons to 1 tablespoons might be enough.
- Once pop-tarts are done and cooled, top with glaze. Sprinkle and decorate with colorful sprinkle.

Well, I gave these a try. No pop tarts in the house (I won't buy them but for DH, they are a food group all their own). So they are easy to make, you choose the filling-blackberry jam in this case. A snap to make and guess what? I have now condemned myself to making these once a week they are "that good", and homemade with ingredients I can pronounce-a huge bonus! Thanks for Posting!!! Di ;-) -
We are going to be starting the Feingold diet soon. I was thrilled to find this recipe! These are a million times better then the store bought ones. Even better, I can pronounce the ingredients! DELICIOUS!!!! -
Love these. I used sugar free jam and these turned out great. So much healthier than the other store bought brands. Thanks for a great recipe. -
These are delicious! I had the kids use cookie cutters and make 2 shapes of everything and then assembled them that way. It was super hard though. So, after 4 shapes I just cut them in rectangles and assembled the rest. 2 thumbs up! Oh, and I used Raspberry jam! MMMM!

I am a homeschooling mother of 8. We have chickens, goats and emus, as well as a year round veggie garden.
My children help me cook most of the time, so I tend to look for recipes that are kid friendly and don't take a ton of time to prep.
We are a mostly Feingold/Organic family and my main focus is good for you foods, but easy to make with a flair or twist.
I experiment a lot with known recipes and I have come up with some amazing ones over the years and love to share with others.
My ultimate cake right now is the german chocolate carob cake. My goal in life was to find the perfect sticky toffee pudding recipe. I have now found it in Carol's Sticky Toffee Pudding. This is the most amazing dessert (next to my carob cake) I've ever tasted.
