It gives you that gooey messy marshmallow experience that every classic s’more should have.The History Channel series The Food That Built America has two episodes that include Pop Tarts. The first episode of the first season includes the rivalry between the Kellogg and Post companies, and mentions the invention of the Pop-Tart. The first episode of season four goes into more detail about the creation of the Pop Tart and the rival Country Squares from Post. [26] Because Post had revealed Country Squares before they were ready for the marketplace, Kellogg was able to develop its version in six months, being created by a former Keebler employee named Bill Post. [6] [7] Initially called Fruit Scones, the name was soon changed to Pop-Tarts as a pun on the then popular Pop Art movement. [8] The product, advertised by an animated, anthropomorphic toaster named Milton, became so popular that Kellogg could not keep up with demand. [9] The first shipment of Pop-Tarts to stores sold out in two weeks, and Kellogg's ran advertisements apologizing for the empty shelves. This only increased demand for the new product.

Add in the butter and the rest of the chopped chocolate. Let the remaining heat do it’s thing, then stir everything together until it’s dissolved and lovely.
