Gluten Free Homemade Mini Pop Tarts

I have been wanting to make pop tarts for quite some time now, but thought it would be more difficult with gluten free flour. I was wrong! It was quite simple. Lately, (since making my last two desserts) my favorite part of the whole process is the last bit where you get to put your final touches on your creation (decorating, duh!). The same goes for this recipe. Once the pop tarts have cooled, that is when the show really starts. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did (and hopefully you don't eat them all too!)
