Blueberry Muffin Pop-Tarts
From Kellogg's
Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 7/6/2009
This is a decent Pop-Tart... if you know what you're getting into.
The "Blueberry Muffin" name is misleading. A much more apropos name would be "Blueberry Cream Pie Pop-Tarts". While most toaster pastries have a jam-like filling, this Pop-Tart has a cream or custard-type filling with specs or streaks of "blueberry".
While you won't taste much in the way of "muffin" flavor, this pastry does deliver on blueberry flavor. In fact, the creamy filling serves to offset the berry flavor producing a lighter, softer blueberry flavor.
When it comes to sweetness, this Pop-Tart created conflict in our office. I was of the opinion that this pastry had just the right amount of sweetness... anymore would have killed this Pop-Tart... ramrodding it into the realm of "just too sweet for breakfast". Another associate in the office thought that Blueberry Muffin Pop-Tarts were too sweet, saying, "Wow, this is so sweet. I don't want to finish it."
However, I should mention that same associate said, "It's a pretty Pop-Tart." Specks of "blueberry" and a sort of sugar-crumb topping embedded in the white frosting does make this an attractive product.
In the end, I kind of like this one. It was flavorful and fun. However, when you weigh nutrition against flavor, I'd recommend any of Kellogg's 20% Fiber Pop-Tarts over this one. They taste just as good and offer a token amount of nutrition.

By Blueberry Baby
I love to sample a little Betty Crocker blueberry muffin dough when I make them so I thought this might be good. Unfortunately it tasted like warm liquid blueberry muffin dough and after one tart I really didn't wanna finish the second one. I'll just stick to either the blueberry muffins themselves, or the regular blueberry poptarts - not the combo.

I thought these were okay. My kids thought they were awful, and hated the streaky-looking purple color of the filling. On the upside, the Kellogg's people were nice enough to send me a sample, so I had no out of pocket or leftovers.

I'm eating these right now as I type my review. I like the strong blueberry flavor, but I have to agree with Joanna in wanting a more tart flavor like my favorite Cherry flavored Pop-Tarts.

I got really excited about this poptart when I saw it on the shelf - it was good, but I was a little disappointed. The high point? It had a strong blueberry flavor that worked well. The downside? It's too sweet and that is unfortunate, because it pulls out a tart that would have been really great otherwise (in comparison to other recent releases.)
