Cookies and Cream Pop Tarts





Cookies and cream cookies in a pop tart form with a dark chocolate crust, Oreo cheesecake filling 
and a cookies and cream glaze.
I was inspired to make these because my niece and nephews saw pop tarts like these at the store. Oreos are their favorite cookies.
But I didn't get them because they full of sugar, preservative and high fructose corn syrup.
No bueno in my book, so I told them that I will make them for them. These don't have that much sugar and no bad sugar.
These pop tarts taste so much better than the ones that you get at the store. They have Oreo cheesecake filling inside, the best part.
The pie crust does taste like the Oreo cookie because of the black cocoa powder I will be using.
