Eggo Bake Shop Twists

Eggo Bake shop Twists definitely bring new meaning to "Leggo my Eggo". When I fist picked them up, it was the middle of the day. That did not stop my girls from wanting to try them. So we had them after lunch, as sort of a snack. My girls devoured them. And asked for more.

They currently come in two flavors- apple and strawberry. And while we didn't eat them in the way they were made, they would definitely make a quick and tasty breakfast. In just 20 seconds in the microwave (for one, as per the box), you have a tasty fruit-filled treat. A quick word of caution though, make sure you let them cool for a few minutes. The inside gets hot. And if breakfast isn't your style, use them as a sweet after dinner treat. They tasted similar to turnovers for a sweet snack.

My seven year old's first comment (after looking at the box) was "thanks Mom, you brought me some protein (they had 3 grams per serving)." She's on a protein kick and tends to read the labels on everything.

The only downside is that there are very few in a box. They come four to a package, and are a bit on the smaller side. We each had 1 of each flavor with my girls asking for more. So if your an adult, you could easily eat a whole box for breakfast. Or if you have kids, easily go through 2 boxes in one sitting. The upside is, they are fairly inexpensive, depending on where you shop. My first stop to get them was at a local grocery store and they were $3.60 a box (I didn't buy them there as this store tend to err on expensive side). I picked them up at Target for $2.04 a box (another grocery store had them for $3.00).

So if your looking for a quick, sweet breakfast, you should definitely try them. We recommend the apple.
