Toast'em Pop Ups is a toaster pastry brand, currently produced by the Schulze and Burch Biscuit Company. They have a sugary filling sealed inside two layers of thin, rectangular pastry crust, coated in frosting. They are sold in pairs in Mylar wrapping, do not need refrigeration, and are typically heated in a toaster oven or toaster before eating.

was able to release their new product, Pop Tarts. Country Squares sold very poorly compared to Pop Tarts, and Post changed the product's name to Toast'em Pop Ups in 1965.
