The toaster is an important culinary weapon for singletons, co-eds and playground warriors alike. Frozen-food companies all want their wares in your toaster, but when it comes to breakfast toaster treats, which is best?


Kellogg's Pop-Tarts, Strawberry
Pillsbury Toaster Strudel Frozen Pastries, Strawberry

.
Appearance: A golden rectangle punctured with
tiny dots and filled with strawberry jam.
 Appearance: Soft, flaky, vanilla pastry with cherry-red filling and thick, white icing.
Stats: $3 for 8; 200 calories,
5 g. fat.
Stats: About $3 for 6;
190 calories, 9 g. fat.
Taste: The perfect texture -- not too rigid and not too soft, with a scrumptious, crumbly outer layer and a warm, fruity center.
 This croissant look-alike tastes a lot like the buttery, textured French treat too. The gooey strawberry filling is the best part -- warm, gummy and delicious.
Downside: Those delightful crumbs always go right for
your lap.
Downside: Croissants are usually great with jelly, but this wrap/filling/frosting combo isn't quite cutting it.
Our pick: Pop-Tarts. We like our toasted treats like our men -- firm, not flaky.
