To prepare these toaster pastries, simply place one or two into a toaster. Use a low to medium heat setting to warm them through without burning. The heat softens the pastry and slightly melts the frosting, enhancing the overall flavor and texture. They can also be heated in a conventional oven or toaster oven for a similar effect, though toasting is the most common method. Serve them warm for the best experience.
