Moot point in my household. Toaster Strudel or nothing since the 90s, motherfucker.

    Toaster Strudels are definitely better than Pop Tarts, but they have also been victims of shrinkflation over the years.

    And, they're unbelievably easy to make, super affordable (one ~$3 box of puff pastry [+jam/fruit/bacon/etc] ≈ six boxes of store-bought "strudels"), and simple enough that a kid can build & bake 'em. 🤙🏼

    Enjoy! 🤩

    p.s. The link basically describes: puff pastry thawed and scored/cut to shape (x2); cooling your filling of choice (hot filling + puff pastry = fail); 1-2T of filling centered on 1 (of 2) scored/cut sheet w/ ~¾" margins; fork-pressing edges to seal (eg. pie crust edges); then, baking the batch and letting it cool before strudeling the lot.

    Frankly, if you "par-bake" (50-80% bake time), counter cool (on a rack, so the bottom doesn't sog), and freeze them, then popping them in the toaster as needed is a cinch. 😉
