Visa Gift Cards Where To Buy

This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Kellogg’s® Pop-Tarts® Toaster Pastries.

We love Pop-Tarts over here in the Ingram household. Pockets of YUM. Each of us has our own favorite, and each of us have our favorite ways we like them. I prefer the Pop-Tarts without icing, my son and I both prefer them toasted. My girls don’t like them toasted, and my youngest removes the “crusts”. My hubs? He’ll eat them toasted or not. He’s a man, he just wants his food.

I like them for their ease. The kids like them for their yum. And now… we like them for their fun!

For this review I was handed down a challenge… to make a specific treat with the beloved Pop-Tarts… with the feature flavor — Strawberry Milkshake. The charge was to make Sprinkly Ice Cream Bites!

I gathered sprinkles:

I pulled out the ice cream:

I unwrapped and cut our Strawberry Milkshake Pop-Tarts into quarters:

And away we went! I scooped a generous tablespoon of vanilla ice cream to the unfrosted side of one quarter… then topped it with another Pop-Tarts quarter!

I handed the ice cream bites to my 7 year and 5 year old girls for help. THEY got to add the sprinkles – and they LOVED that job. I’d like to thank my son for vacuuming up the sprinkles that did not make it onto the treats!

Look! Sprinklefied!!!

My son couldn’t wait to dive in, but one step remained…

We needed to wrap the treats in plastic wrap and freeze for 2 hours so they could get their chill on!

After a hearty spaghetti dinner, the kids were ready to try what will probably be our newest summer treat… the dessert we will take to summer BBQs and will make us the most popular family EVER!

Update: I received an email from Kia that this offer is still happening and will run through March 31, 2010. This is open to everyone, everywhere, even if you are not in the market for a car, different than what I initially shared below. Kia wants to get you behind the wheel of their vehicle now so when the time comes to buy something new you have had a positive experience with their brand.

My family is currently in the market for a new vehicle (after we buy it I will tell you all about it). That’s why this deal to get a $25 pre-paid Visa card for test driving a 2011 Kia Sorento caught my attention.

— Register and print your e-certificate

— Test drive the car at your local Kia dealer

— Get your e-certificate validated by the dealer

— Mail in the e-certificate and receive your gift card by mail.

This is a generous offer from Kia and if you are in the market for a car, please do participate in the promotion. If you aren’t in the market for a car, then please pass this offer up.

Your turn: Did you do your test drive? Did you get your gift card?
