Toasted, with butter on 'em. **In Conceivable** - I was about to mention microwaving mine; I do it about half the time. ---

Toast if you have the time. Always toast the non-fruit ones. ---

Mine are always toasted. I also prefer the frosted varieties. My favorite of them all is cinnamon. ---

Can’t stand them untoasted. Except for the chocote ones- because those taste like a chocolate cookie with fudge inside 🙂 The regular crust tastes way too starchy and crumbly if its not toasted properly. I haven’t had any luck with microwaving them. They always come out soggy and gross. ---

Chocolate ones: untoasted and occasionally microwaved All others: don’t bother ---

Untoasted, except when I turn the apple/cinnamon ones into dessert. I toast it then and put a big scoop of ice cream on top. YUM! Recipe for a Pop Tart [sup]TM[/sup] Sammich: Take two strawberry ones, put peanut butter on one or both of the unfrosted sides, slap together and chow down. [sub]It is to good![/sub] ---

Never toasted, and I _only_ eat the strawberry unfrosted ones. And those not that often. ---

Only eat chocolate ones If non-toasted: throw away crust If toasted: eaten with butter 50% of the time, including crust ---

Damn hamsters ate my first attempt. Anyhoo… I don’t do **anything** consistently. The only time I eat them the same way consistently is at work, raw. At home, anything goes: raw, cooked, toasted, burnt on a little stick over a butane torch, crumbled over ice cream, wrapped in 5 pounds of bacon and bananas, put through a blender with 2 pounds of ground beef and a margarita, passed through the bowels of a mexican ferret–it’s all the same to me. 🙂 ---
