I started eating these for breakfast at work. I know they're pricey but honestly it's the only way I've found to curb my appetite to avoid snacking all morning and then still eating a full lunch. I learned with the 1st one, microwaving for the suggested 10ish seconds really helps tamper down the after taste (I'm guessing from the erythritol). Well, turns out if you get distracted and microwave for the full 30 seconds it leaks out the side and turns into a tacky tar-like substance. (The holes in the top are because I still wanted to try and eat it and I stab my fork tines across the pastry to make a line to get bites out. I thought I could scoop the filling with bits of the pastry. I was wrong.)
If you're looking to give these pastries a chance, I suggest not microwaving for longer than 10-15 seconds. Also, I've tried the strawberry, cinnamon, and chocolate cake flavors. Definitely liked the chocolate cake the best and strawberry the least so far.
