Well.
I finally had a chance today to open up my site and see if anyone liked my easy-peasy pop tarts. Imagine the look on my face when I saw that not one person had even clicked on today’s post. It’s been “Live” for 12 hours!! Um…so I thought… The first words that came out of my mouth were, “Wow…nobody likes Nutella Pop Tarts?!?”.
After a few moments of confusion, I noticed that today’s recipe wasn’t even posted! I thought I had this blog post scheduled to go live at 5:00 this morning. I could have sworn that I hit that “schedule” button a couple of days ago.
But, in my defense, you are “looking” at a Mom that has not slept much in over a week. That could be the reason why I think I did something, but really, I didn’t.
Ana, our 3 year-old, has strep throat, and our almost 8-month old has the flu. Boooooo!
I am thinking about flu shots, now. I have always been against them, but I’m not sure anymore. I hate seeing my babies like this. Argh. Are you for or against flu shots?
Oh yeah, the Pop Tarts!
Do you have some pie crust sitting around? Store-bought is fine, too. How about a jar of Nutella? Or a jar of jam? You do?!? Well, then, go make these! They will take you all of, oh I don’t know, 20 minutes! 30 tops!
ENJOY!

Nutella Pop Tarts
Ingredients
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts, (You can use store-bought or homemade – my recipe makes two (2) pie crusts)
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon water
- Turbinado Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll out 1 pie-dough portion to about 1/8-inch thickness. Repeat with the second pie-dough.
- Cut out 6 to 8 rectangles (around 2-inches wide by 3-inches tall) from each pie crust.*You can reroll the dough-scraps into 1 or 2 more tarts.
- Transfer the rectangles to a baking sheet lined with silpat or parchment paper; leave 2 inches of space in between.
- Spread a heaping tablespoon of Nutella on half of the rectangles.
- Using a fork, lightly prick a couple of holes on the rest of the rectangles.
- Place the pricked rectangles on top of the Nutella.
- Crimp the edges of the tarts with a fork.
- Whisk the egg yolk and water in a small bowl; brush each pop tart with the egg wash.
- Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top of each pop tart.
- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool for a few minutes and serve.

These are seriously gorgeous pop tarts, I mean is it possible not to love nutella?
p.s. concerning flu shots, I am absolutely against. In the long run they do far more damage than benefit.
Hi sweetheart!!!
Yep, all I have ever read about flu shots is that in the long run they do more damage than good… that’s why I am against them, too. I hope these kids just get better real soon!! 🙂
I am definitely pro flu shot. It doesn’t cover every flu out there but I like to think it helps us avoid most of them or have a less severe case if we do catch it. Hope everyone is on the mend quickly.
As for your thinking you hit Schedule and nothing happened? Been there, done that and don’t even have sleep deprivation to blame.
Your pop-tarts look wonderful and, I am sure, better than anything that comes in a box!
I’m sorry about your sick kiddos. I hope they get better soon and that you manage to steer clear of both illnesses! Moms HAVE to be healthy.
the pop tarts look amazing. Of course, I’ll have to substitute the filling, but I’m loving the sugar sprinkled on the crust. I could just eat that and die happy.
I may be the only blogger left who has never made homemade poptarts, yet growing up they were my ultimate comfort food. Love them. And yours look so perfect! Hope the kiddies are better soon!
Yum, these look so delish! I think I need one for a midnight snack :).
These are just gorgeous!
My son is sitting with me and he wants one of these right now! “Oh yeah!” were his exact words. 😉 As for flu shots, I used to be against them until Mr. N was born early. His lungs were so fragile so we started to get them. My husband also has asthma, so that’s a concern. Oddly enough, hubby did get the flu this past weekend despite having had the shot. Fortunately the rest of us seemed to have missed it. So is that thanks to the flu shot or the quarantine I put him on. Who knows.
Hope your babies are healthy soon!!!
You went there. And they’re awesome. And I love Nutella and have like 3 jars b/c I am getting ready to make something with it. And now I see these…delish!
I am all for flu shots. Your dear little angels……I hope they are better soon.
Love the idea of Nutella Pop Tarts.
This is perfect for my daughter’s friends who are over for a play date next weekend.
Thanks Kate. 🙂
I don´t know about flu shots, but I´m so pro nutella pop tarts! You made something that I had thought about making for the cafe, but just never happened. Love them!
