BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Jan. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In a bold move that will change the way you look at a jar of peanut butter, one of America's toastiest breakfast pastries is upping the ante on taste with the introduction of Frosted PB&J Strawberry Pop-Tarts®. Now available at retailers nationwide, the new flavor is made with real creamy peanut butter and strawberry jelly-flavored filling inside a pastry crust topped with sweet frosting and sprinkles, putting a Crazy Good spin on the classic peanut butter and jelly combination.
