Happy weekend again, Steemians!!!

I was talking about my blog and being a food blogger with someone I met recently and they asked me if I ever have recipes that don’t work out the first time. My reaction to the question was basically just laughing in their face because, wow have I had some epic fails.

Haha, not only that, but I continue to have more and more of them pretty much every single day. Hey, not every culinary endeavour can be a success, just sayin’. I mean, look at how many of the greatest feats of all time have been accomplished using the good old motto ‘If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.’ The very technology you’re using to read this post right now is only one of the countless examples of inventions that required testing to reach perfection.

Can you tell I’m building up to admitting to one of my own fails and that I’m trying to do it in a way that makes it sound glamorous? Or at the very least, less humiliating? Yeah, so the originals of these pop-tarts were a total and complete fail, big time. Well, to be honest they weren’t even approaching the neighborhood of my most legendary flops. Plus, they were still devoured because, firstly ->chocolate, and secondly, it’s pretty hard to completely ruin a pop-tart, you know?

However, the prototypes were definitely not blog-worthy. I make it a point to never share anything with you guys if I’m not confident about the fact that you’ll love it. I could have scrapped the whole thing but I’m also really stubborn and persistent so I wanted to make this recipe work.

Okay, so then take #2 was much closer to what I was trying to achieve but still not right. I dipped them into the churro coating prior to baking them which was good, but it candied and stuck to the pans too much to be user-friendly and then it also kind of made the outside of the pop-tarts too hard in some spots. Basically, it still wasn’t quite there.

But now, for the happy ending to this post that’s become a pop-tart story (drumroll please!)………..I finally found it, the version of this recipe that I was going for! They’re perfectly flaky on the pastry part, the filling is creamy and cheesecakey (not to mention studded with tons of choco chips, YES!), then they’re covered with all the cinnamon/sugar goodness of a churro and drizzled in a little icing for cosmetic appeal and good measure.

Yep, so as you can see you’ve clearly got to give these a chance after all that, right? They’d be great for any event throughout the year. Come on, you know you need these in your life!

As always, the recipe is available upon request, and I always give an upvote for the first one.
