As I pondered the perfect Pop Tart for the holiday season, my thoughts instantly drifted back to a discontinued gem from a few years ago – Chocolate Peppermint Pop Tarts. I considered doing a post on these delectable pastries, but my search for visual proof of these minty delights yielded disappointingly little.

Reaching out to friends and acquaintances, only one person I knew had any recollection of these nearly forgotten Pop-Tarts. According to them, the flavor was subtly balanced and harmonious. They also recalled that these Pop-Tarts didn't quite shine when eaten untoasted, which was a strike against the Chocolate Peppermint Pop Tarts for them.

Here's a Pop-Tart tip for you: Try putting your Pop-Tarts in the freezer and enjoying them cold. This transforms their texture, making them chewy and refreshingly delightful.

Will we ever see the return of Chocolate Peppermint Pop Tarts? A few years ago, I might have thought it was unlikely, but given Kellogg's recent penchant for experimenting with the Pop-Tarts brand, who knows? Maybe this flavor is primed for a comeback. I, for one, can't wait to savor them when they do.

Remember when Mickey Mouse decided to commit suicide?
Unless you lived in the 1930s or are a fan of vintage comic strips you might not be aware of the attempted Mickey Mouse suicide.
