Ranking the Top 5 Little Debbie Dessert Snacks
You can’t handle this sweet tooth truth.
5. Cosmic Cupcakes
A rare find in the dessert aisle—the Cosmic Cupcake is a bonafide unicorn in the Little Debbie arsenal. These underrated beasts are as delectable as they come thanks to their versatility; indeed, the chocolate cake, chocolate icing, cosmic colored chocolate chips and vanilla cream filling will take your taste buds on an outer space adventure to the Gâteau Galaxy, brother.
4. Fudge Rounds
If you’re a Millenial, you might remember these Bad Boys from your middle school lunches. These succulent circles of sugar don’t have the aesthetic sex appeal of the Fancy Cake or the Honey Bun, but dammit, it’s still substance over style in the dessert kingdom. The Fudge Round is the greatest pound-for-pound on the list—the Allen Iverson of the Little Debbie League. Despite its small stature, just one of the suckers will fill your stomach to its sweet tooth’s delight.
3. Zebra Cake
These striped juggernauts are so consistently delicious that they warranted their own mascot in the form of Ziggy the Zebra. Did I just invent the name “Ziggy” for that cartoon, sunglasses-wearing Safari animal on the bottom right corner of the package? You’re damn right I did. Zebra Cakes are next level yummy, thanks to a moist inner chamber of vanilla cake-ington, and that thin layer of cream-ington, which cuts through the center of the hexagonal pastries. And lest we forget the Zebra skin black-white palette so tastefully tasty on the top layer of the dessert... The icing on the cake is, in this case, the icing on the cake.
2. Mini Muffins
The Mini Muffin is the Filet Mignon of the Little Debbie collection. These minuscule confections are exquisite in flavor, but any deviation in size would cause it to lose its luster. Forget that these beautiful bastards are the size of bottle caps, come in packs of four and are gone in three seconds. Forget that they have no actual nutritional value whatsoever. These little sucre clouds slap to a colossus level, regardless of whether one opts for the chocolate chip or the blueberry offering.
- Swiss Cake Roll
Close your eyes. Let’s take a trip to the Swiss Alps, where you’re surrounded by butterflies, mountain goats, and Roger Federer, who hands you a freshly blended Swiss Cake Roll milkshake. That’s the Swiss Bliss, sister. Coming in at #1 on our countdown, the Swiss Cake Roll is class, sophistication and elegance wrapped up in a sleek, slender dessert burrito. These magical tastemakers come in packs of two, or as seen on the package, “Enveloppés Par Deux.” As I further inspect the packaging, I’m now noticing that I’ve been duped my entire life, and they are actually called “Swiss Rolls,” not “Swiss Cake Rolls.” I’m calling fake news on this omission of the word “Cake,” and chalking it up to the Mandela Effect. Regardless, these jonts take the cake in our rankings—pun very much intended.
