Recipe Notes
How to Store Homemade Pop Tarts
Let the pop tarts cool completely and allow the icing to set before placing them in an airtight container. Store them at room temperature for up to 2 days, with parchment paper between layers to keep the icing from sticking.
To freeze them, leave off the icing and freeze the baked pop tarts for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven until warmed through, then let them cool before adding the icing.
