My Review Of Hostess 100 Calorie Snacks...

Another purchase that deserves a review...

So far, the ONLY product I have bought lately (actually didn't BUY as I had a coupon for a free package) was the Newman's Own fig newton type of cookie, which were AWESOME!

Anyway....with that $100 gift card we won, we went to Walmart to pick up some stuff. I had a coupon for $1 off one box of the new Hostess 100 Calorie snacks and chose the Carrot Cake little muffins and here's my honest take of them:

1-the size is ridiculous: they are about 1-1 1 1/2" around and 1/2" thick (you put the three that come in a package on top of each other and it would measure half of a regular size muffin that you'd expect to find (but they include three, maybe that's to make you feel like you ate a lot??)

2-the icing is super sweet. Honey bear is diabetic and he took one bite and gave it back to me because of the sweetness. And me, who you KNOW won't turn down ANY form of sweets, well, I think the icing is too sweet too.

3-the best part of them is the filling. there's a cream filling that in my own personal opinion, if you just have the teeny weeny muffin withe the filling, it would be perfect, just not attractive.

4-would I buy them again? no...simply because of the icing and the size. Although it's the latest 'thing' to make these new snack size treats, that doesn't make it wise or buyable. What's that saying I always bring up around home? JUST BECAUSE WE CAN, DOESN"T MEAN WE SHOULD.

My outcome opinion is this, if you have a coupon, kids, or the opportunity to get these free (or at a real good deal), go for it. Otherwise, don't spend your money, not in today's times, it's simply not worth it.


I know that these are meant to be calorie friendly, but seriously, the carrot cake is good, but the over sweetness of the icing just did it in for me...
