Pop-Tarts’ Most Requested Flavor Is Finally Back After 3 Years

Pop-Tarts have come a long way since its debut in 1964, when the brand only offered a short list of simple flavors, such as Strawberry and Brown Sugar Cinnamon. Today, Pop-Tarts is constantly pushing the boundaries with what it can stuff into its toaster pastries, from Frosted Lemon Blueberry Crumble to Frosted Marshmallow Hot Cocoa, soda-inspired creations, and even a collaboration with the Girl Scouts of the USA.

But all that innovation comes at a cost. To make room for new hits, we often have to say goodbye to old favorites—sometimes sooner than we’d like.

“Sometimes I dream about this Pop-Tart,” one Redditor mourned after Frosted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough got the axe. “No flavor was as stellar as this one. I will forever miss this sweet delicacy.”

Now, after three years of fans flooding the brand’s social media accounts and pleading for its return, Pop-Tarts has finally caved. That’s right, Frosted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is back—and it’s here to stay.

Pop-Tarts Adds Frosted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough To Its Permanent Lineup

Arguably, no discontinued flavor has sparked so much outcry, drama, and heartbreak as Pop-Tarts’ Frosted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. While the product was officially discontinued in 2022, an eagle-eyed shopper who’d already noticed the flavor’s disappearance from store shelves in 2020 launched an online petition to bring it back. And yes, there’s Frosted Chocolate Chip and the newer Frosted Chocolatey Chip Pancake, but any true fan will tell you, these are not the same.

Well, it looks like Christmas is coming early this year. Not only is Pop-Tarts bringing back the fan-loved flavor, but it’s also making it a permanent addition to its lineup. Starting in November, we should start seeing the coveted flavor back on shelves.

Frosted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pop-Tarts feature a sweet, buttery cookie dough-flavored pastry, topped with chocolate icing. While the flavors are more straightforward than the brand’s flashier releases, such as its Frosted Maple collab with Eggo, fans’ enthusiasm for Frosted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough proves that sometimes simple really does hit best.

Chocolate chip cookies have been a favorite treat for generations, but chocolate chip cookie dough? If you’ve ever snuck a spoonful straight from the mixing bowl, you know that nothing tastes more rewarding.

For longtime fans, the permanent return of this flavor feels like a huge win. But, knowing Pop-Tarts, something tells us this isn’t the only surprise it has in store for us this fall.
