To prepare, simply place one pastry into a toaster and toast on a low setting until warm and lightly golden. Be cautious as they can toast quickly. Alternatively, they can be enjoyed straight from the package at room temperature. Some people prefer to warm them slightly in a toaster oven for a crisper exterior. The frosting will soften when heated, creating a gooey texture.
