Ingredients

12 Pop Tarts (your favorite variety)
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
24 ounces almond bark
Your Favorite Toppings Sprinkles, etc

Instructions

Using a food processor, pulverize Pop Tarts into small crumbs.
Add room temperature cream cheese and Pop Tart crumbs to a mixing bowl; mix on low speed until a ball of dough forms.
With a cookie scoop, make small cheesecake balls; roll between your hands to make uniform in size.
Put the cake balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet; flash freeze the balls for 15 minutes minimum.
Melt almond bark in the microwave according to package instructions.
Roll the frozen balls in the melted almond bark until completely coated; arrange back onto the parchment-lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle with your favorite toppings (graham crackers, sprinkles, etc).
Let cool until set. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

Using room temperature cream cheese is key for a smooth cheesecake filling. Let it sit out for approximately an hour on the counter before starting the recipe.
Our two favorite flavors are strawberry and smores pop tarts. Use whatever is your favorite.
To get small crumbs, use a food processor to pulverize the pop tarts.
For a smooth filling, use a mixer to combine the pop tart crumbs and cream cheese. Use a low setting, and wait until a ball of cheesecake dough forms in the bowl.
A sheet-pan lined with parchment paper is the perfect vessel to use so that you can easily flash freeze these before coating with almond back.
The best way to coat with almond bark is to use 2 forks to roll around and pick up.
Be creative with the toppings using sprinkles, marshmallows, chocolate chips or whatever your heart desires.
Store these in the refrigerator since the center contains cream cheese.
