Little Debbie Snack Cakes
By: Kristen Zeimetz
Oatmeal Creme Pies
Little Debbie has a butt-ton of cakes in their line up now, but the Oatmeal Creme Pies were one of the OGs. I like them okay, but there are others that are far superior. Oatmeal cookies in general are not everyone’s favorite, and these are almost too sweet. They do, however, have a ridiculously long shelf life. I’ve never had one that wasn’t super fresh, even the ones I know have been in my pantry for years. C
Swiss Cake Rolls
Not only are these delicious, you get two in a package, which is always a win in my book. Although chocolate cake is actually not my preferred flavor, this cake is pretty moist and tasty, and the white creme is awesome! (I haven’t had a “creme” I didn’t really like.) The best is the chocolate “shell” that always flakes off in a solid piece. These puppies SLAP. A
Nutty Buddy
These aren’t a favorite of mine. I’m not the biggest peanut butter fan, unless I’m eating spoonfuls out of the jar. That being said, I’m not gonna turn one down. It’s chocolate, wafer, and peanut butter, all of which are meh, but again, you eat two in a pack, so that’s a plus. My last favorite, but I know most people disagree, so for that, I’ll give it a higher rating than I’d like. C-
Cosmic Brownies (All Brownies)
These are one of God’s greatest creations. Back in the day, these were topped with nuts and the “cosmic” ones (introduced as a specialty at first) had neon-colored sprinkles which completely changed the game, and I believe, thrusting Little Debbie past Hostess as the best snack cake company. Even better than the Cosmic Brownies are the seasonal variations (Easter, Christmas, Halloween) which usually always have colored frosting, which is far superior to the regular chocolate. Take note, Dairy Queen: You need a Cosmic Brownie Blizzard. Cosmic Brownies: A. Seasonal Brownies: A+
Zebra Cakes
These are different variations of a basic yellow or white cake that Little Debbie churns out, but the Zebra Cakes are my fave. Yellow cake, white frosting, and chocolate stripes - nothing screams “zebra” like these babies. Like almost all their snack cakes, I never had one that wasn’t super moist. Perhaps it’s all the chemicals pumped in them? Who cares!?! Anything is fine in moderation, though I have a difficult time eating any of these that way. B
