Who doesn’t love a Pop-Tart? I still remember the first time my kids tried one. They looked at me like I had been holding out on them all along. These homemade Valentine Pop Tarts are a fun, heart-shaped twist on the classic, and they’re surprisingly easy to make.

Flaky, jam-filled, and finished with frosting and sprinkles, they’re perfect for Valentine’s breakfast, dessert, or a sweet afternoon treat.
