We’ll say it—brown sugar cinnamon is THE superior Pop-Tart flavor. Whether you eat them straight out of the package or pop them in the toaster, the combo of caramel brown sugar combined with cozy cinnamon almost can’t be beat. The only thing better? Perfecting that flavor at home in the form of these blondies. These blondies are not only much easier and quicker to make than the crust of a Pop-Tart, but you also get the perfect chewiness of everyone’s favorite dessert bar. They’re great for sharing at everything from picnics to potlucks, and we wouldn’t judge if you enjoyed one for a nostalgic on-the-go breakfast too.
To give blondies that Pop-Tart flair, we top them with a brown sugar cinnamon crumble while baking, then top the whole thing with icing once they are cooled. Feel free to just drizzle it over the blondies or go full Pop-Tart mode and coat the entire top. We went classic and didn’t add any additional decorations, but these would also be ideal with sprinkles for a celebration too.
Speaking of other flavors, if you're not a brown sugar cinnamon fan (😱), then we’ve got you too. Try our strawberry Pop-Tart blondies next, or make them both and pit them against one another to see which will come up victorious.
