Today, I have a major case of the Mondays. On a Wednesday. Every day they say it will be sunny and it isn’t. As I write, this, though – it’s getting sunnier. I know I posted this ages ago, but I had to repost it because it’s awesome and finally sunny out as I write out this recipe again! Also, it’s making me smile a bunch. It must be the magic of the Mini Pop Tart Recipe!
Guys. I repeat. A homemade MINI Pop Tart Recipe.
The suspense has gone on long enough, so here’s the recipe. Let me know if you have any questions, and please show me pictures if you successfully make them! And, if they last long enough to take pictures. They go fast in my house!
What You Need:
1 pkg. Pillsbury Pie Crusts
1 Can Strawberry Pie Filling
1 Can Vanilla Frosting
Food Coloring
Sprinkles and Jimmies
Instructions
What You Do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Take both round pieces of pie crusts and trim off the edges so you have two square pieces the same size
- Divide the frosting into three small bowls and mix food coloring into two of the bowls with your choice of color, and leave one bowl of frosting white
- On one piece of your pie crust, take a teaspoon and put dollops of pie filling – you can fit 24-30 dollops on the crust
- Place the other piece of crust on top of this one and cut the dough in strips about ¼ inch from each edge of the dollops of pie filling
- You can see the pie filling through the dough so this is easy to do
- Using a fork, press along the edges to seal the two sheets of dough together around the edges of the filling
- Then cut strips the other direction so now you have individual little filled pieces, and press the fork along the other edges to seal together
- Place the little mini pop tarts on a cookie tray and put a tiny cut into the top of each tart
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned
- Let cool
- Frost each pop tart and sprinkle with sprinkles
- Enjoy!
Enjoy!
My mistake was having Madison near me while I was reading this. She said “I want to make those”, I guess I’ll be making mini pop tarts in the near future, or I’ll be sending her your way so you can make them for her. 🙂
haha – did you ever make them? If she comes here, I’ll be happy to do so!
Omg, these are adorable and my girls would love them. Guess I will be trying this recipe now for them. What can I say? But Thank you!! 🙂
I can’t recommend them enough! They’re super tasty and fun.
Ok, these have to be the cutest things I have ever seen! My kids love poptarts and I bet they would love these even more. Hold on, I need to add stuff to my grocery list!
I can’t wait to hear about Pride and OF COURSE I remember when Cassidy and Scarlet dressed as Groot and Rocket! Ah-mazing!
Oh yay – that means I STILL get to post about Pride since I’m almost a year behind on everything. haha. Thanks for the reminder! I guess I slept for a year.
Heck yeah! These look super yummy! I love pop tarts, guilty pleasure of sorts, but these take the whole pop tart love to a whole new level 🙂
I love pop tarts of all varieties, but homemade honestly take the cake! The tart, rather.
How cool is that?! Date night out with just one of the kids. I wish I would have done more of that when they were little. I’m loving these little pop tarts. They’re the perfect size and you could stuff them with any flavor. Plus .. I bet decorating with the kids was a lot of fun!
These mini-pop tarts are crazy cool! We like to use already-made pie crusts for most of our deserts and snacks. A great, simple idea to do with your kids (or, in my case, grand kids!)
Ok. I truly have to try this. My son loves poptarts and I think this would be great. Not as much sugar I wouldn’t think! Thank you for the recipe for it! It’s appreciated!
My little guy enjoys pop tarts more than traditional breakfast foods. He even eats them as snacks throughout the day. He will enjoy making and eating these cute and mini versions of the real deal. I just hope he will share with his momma.
These are adorable!! 🙂
Cassidy’s Groot is still the coolest.
Love these! Those pie crusts are the best for treats! This certainly makes Monday way better!
OMG, those look insanely delicious. Perfect for a grey Monday!
These are so AMAZINGLY Cute…Perfect for a gloomy Monday 🙂
Okay, these are so cute! And my kids, AND ME, love pop tarts. I never thought to make my own or to make them mini. TOtally going to do these for my kiddos.
These look like the yummiest things ever. I want them all right now! Can’t wait to see Guardians 2. I had the chance to meet Chris Pratt last summer at a friend’s house, but we were out of town. I’m still kicking myself.
WHAT?? That would have been amazing! I hope he’s as cool as he seems.
Oh my goodness these are ADORABLE! These would be perfect for one of my son’s school parties. They look simple enough to make, too.
WOW, this is soooo cool and look delicious! My kids would love to create these mini pop tarts. We must try this and thanks for sharing!
Oh my gosh – these are SO CUTE!
These look so cute and I am sure they taste amazing. We have made a pop tart at home before but it was a giant one. I love the idea of making mini ones like this, such a cute idea! I love the way they turned out!
Natalie and I will be making these. Thank you!
We all loved Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 as well. I want to see it again.
I do t think I’ll ever forget your hubby in the groot costume! I still think it’s the best I’ve ever seen.
You are killin’ it with your recipes, girl! Seriously, I totes want to have one of these. Or five. Because they’re little so that’s really only the equivalent of one normal size one, right? 🙂 Anyway, these are really friggin’ adorable!
XOXO
Oh, wow! These look absolutely amazing! My two little ones love pop tarts, but they’re so expensive to buy here in the UK. I’ll have to give these homemade ones a try instead 🙂

Kudos to you for making a healthy version of Pop Tarts! I used to eat these as a child, but I cannot imagine eating them now. I’d love a healthy version!
These are cute and I love that you are making a healthier version. We ban the ones from the store so this is a good alternative!
I so get it. They’re delicious but I can’t say I buy them.. ever.
Oh my goodness – I want these right now! Hope the sun came out!
