Combining our two most popular recipes, mini pop tart cereal & nutella frosting, into one perfect recipe!
The recipe for this delicious treat may look beyond extensive, & to be completely honest, it isn’t as simple as some of our others, but don’t let it intimidate you! Half the ingredients are optional fillings & toppings so you can make it as complex or simple as you’d like. This time, we chose to just use Nutella as the filling & topping! Tossed a few sprinkles on & called it a day.
If you’re feeling more adventurous, feel free to make larger pop-tarts as well & top them with some of the mini ones!
