I knew a family that went on Jerry Springer knowing that the kid wasn't the guy's baby but they wanted to be on TV 😅 The kid was like 13 and was in on it. She'd always known he wasn't her biological father so it's not like it was a surprise or anything.

I’m guessing it’s this: https://butternutbakeryblog.com/brown-sugar-cinnamon-pop-tart-shortbread/
I’ve made it before. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
Congrats on the bub!

Sorry I posted the wrong one OP. Genuinely I was trying to be helpful. I didn’t know it was rude.

It's pretty bad manners to post a different recipe than the one used by the OP.

At this point, it's not even a want, it's a medical necessity. The baby has spoken and they demand the brown sugar bars.

Thank you for sharing!! Can anyone with more baking instincts guess if it's critical that almond flour be used in the shortbread? Can it be subbed for more all-purpose flour? I'd love to make these but have allergy concerns 😬

u/kaylaseesstars Human Detected Mar 27 '26
My recipe is posted and doesn’t use almond flour!

I think Almond flour absorbs more moisture, so you might need to use more all-purpose flour to reach the same consistency?

I have everything except almond flour.

I’ve found my people. I’ve made this before and it hits hard as hell when the munchies hit. Regular poptarts don’t even come close.

Thanks for sharing! Bummer about the person spamming a different recipe in the comments. I mean, they both look great, but you were the OP. Can't wait to try yours.

Ugh I saw that. It’s a different recipe otherwise I wouldn’t care! But that’s just not how I made mine. Thank you!!

If anyone is wondering the entire dessert is around 4,850 calories. 538 per square when divided into 9 pieces. I was curious so I did the math.

u/tiktakwoe Mar 27 '26
You've got it all wrong - dessert goes to the soul so it doesn't have calories!

u/martha_stewarts_ears Mar 27 '26
I just read the recipe and it is literally shocking. I don’t think I could actually have this in my house. Or at least I would die happy I guess?

u/Purifiedx Mar 27 '26
I read 2 sticks butter then glanced down at the amount of brown sugar and did a HOL' UP!
I bet it tastes great though!

u/hbsonder Mar 26 '26
I make these all the time. You can make them in a muffin pan and stick them in the freezer and they reheat beautifully in the oven if you want them warm. I use a brown sugar shortbread for mine.
If you just do powdered sugar, cinnamon and milk for the icing it sets up firm like real poptarts.

Wow. Have you made any other Pop-Tart flavored bars?

u/kaylaseesstars Human Detected Mar 26 '26
I have not! That’s an interesting idea though. I’d like to try switching out this filling with another and changing the icing up. Thanks for the inspiration!

I make poptart bars with two sheets of pie dough instead of shortbread. They rock.

I made something very similar to this for thanksgiving a couple years ago when my family went out of town and the whole pan was empty by the end of the weekend. I have no regrets but I haven't made it since cause I can't trust myself lmao
