Description
Before this competitor to Pop Tarts was reformulated to be like Pop Tarts, they had a softer crust sprinkled with sugar and more fruit filling than the competitor. They came only four (two packs) to a box compared to Pop Tarts that came six (three packs) to a box. They probably changed to the harder less tasty crust and increased the quantity to six to better compete. The old recipe was of such better quality that it made up for getting fewer Toastettes than Pop Tarts.

Yes, Toastettes were way better than Pop-Tarts, and the filling was more. I grew up with this brand in the seventies, and I have to say the sprinkled sugar on top, had no effect whatsoever on me. I wish they were still being made.
How do we get Nabisco to bring these back??
I LOOOOOVED toastettes!!! I grew up on them, also. They blew Pop-Tarts out of the water! I too would love to see them come back. They were the king of pop-tarts.
I remember buying Nabisco Toastettes at Fed-Mart back in the 70's. They were so much better than pop-tarts. I wish they would would make a come back as well : )~
Toastettes used to come in Strawberry and Apple flavors and were the best out there. I can't believe that Pop Tarts are still around and the Toastettes are gone. They were so much better tasting and because of all the 90's sugar hype,Nabisco pulled them from their product lineup. What a shame!!
I have been searching and searching for my beloved Toastettes. They were my #1 breakfast food. Wal-Mart carried them long long ago. I hadn't given up til now. I can still taste the warm sprinkle sugar as I ate it hot out of the toaster. What memories. Like the VW Beatle, maybe our Toastettes will be brought back.
For some reason I was thinking about how good Toastettes tasted, even though I have not eaten one in years, I still have a yearning for it. I have come across other brands but none come close. Its astounding that Pop tarts won the war.
Somebody please help us! Toastettes must make a comeback.. You dont know how I have been looking and hoping I'd stumble across them somewhere. NABISCO...GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME.... EXPOSE OUR KIDS TO THE "REAL DEAL" IN BREAKFAST PASTRIES!
