Winner moves onto the semi finals Than, try them again, each time eliminating one, until you find the undisputed most delicious Little Debbie cake of all time.
Swiss Rolls and Nutty Buddies should be kept in the freezer. It's best for their melty chocolate. It also allows them to be hidden behind the family size roast and bagged veggies in the 22ft upright freezer so that your five siblings don't find your stash.
I've tried it and my brother would always find them and get into them. I could have 1 missing originally (that I ate) then the next thing you know, I would be down to 2-3 the 2nd time I went to get one 😭
Concur. Swiss cake rolls straight from the freezer are LD perfection. Same with honey buns after having a quick spin in the microwave. Are the “big pack” oatmeal cream pies the triple decker ones? Also agree, but sometimes you just want a lil something.
I can appreciate the bite diagram of zebra cake versus Christmas tree… But let’s be real there’s no way you take six bites, it’s two maybe three tops ! 😂😂
I'm old enough to remember the Brownies used to just have a few crumbled pecans on top and none of this cosmic chocolate Chip topping. I'm disappointed Matt didn't dissect the nutty bars, you have to tear each layer off and eat it.
They still make the ones with walnuts on top. I have only seen them at Target. I’m fairly certain the cosmic ones sell better and are pushing the walnut ones out.
@@queenartly3323 You should at least try them once. They're more chewy than I personally like because of the caramel, but they are delicious. And here's just a personal thing that anybody should know about me when it comes to food. I'm a pretty picky eater, but I've never eaten a Little Debbie that I didn't like. Also, I'm 46 years old so it's not like I'm coming from a place of immaturity or ignorance.
1. I never thought/knew they were the same and 2. I never had a visual aid that i understood so clearly and instantly than that diagram (without words or a key, that i can recall). I was truly educated today ngl.
There needs to be a bracket style tournament with the rest of the Little Debbie cakes. Have 5-6 in each bracket, winner of each meets in a final bracket to determine the absolute best of the best!!
@@gymleaderLARANGIERA GMM are the kings of ranking food videos. They usually take multiple days though because it's like the NCAA basketball tournament style.
Then, there’s the Cherry Cordial Cream Sandwiches that come out at Christmas and, then, The one’s that are out between Christmas to Spring with Cherry Cream Pies! Chocolate on the outside with the Cream and cherry in the center. Then, there’s the Peanut Butter Bars, The Caramel Bars and, the little apple flip pies and, there’s the pumpkin flip pies that are out in the fall. Then, there’s the peanut butter filled sandwich. If you like the star crunches you should try the caramel bars, there isn’t very many in them but, they are good, they been out for a long time.And, of course there’s the Dunkin Sticks! Dunkin Sticks and honey buns are really good warmed up in the microwave.
Christmas Tree cakes are also better for 3 reasons. The first reason is that they have colored sugar sprinkles on them, the next is that they come in chocolate or Vanilla, and finally, on the package there are little Christmas present tags on them that I used to love using on my parents presents when I was a Child. Boom!
Chocolate or vanilla is a relatively new development for me. As a kid, they only had the original zebra cakes cut into tree shapes with red stripes and green sugar.
Reese's admitted the peanut butter in the special (eggs, trees etc) treats is different than the PB in regualr reeses (at least I read that somewhere, I think)
I think they’re buddies because the package has 2 in them 😉 haha Nutty Buddies are my FAVE! We have a Nutty Buddy - Little Debbie delivery truck driver in our neighborhood who gives boxes of these for Halloween! We always hit his house 😆
Thank you for explaining the difference between the sizes of the Oatmeal Creme Pies. I have said repeatedly and it's true the bigger ones are better because the little ones need more cream. FACTS!!!👏👏👏
I still remember almost going through an entire box of the supersize ones myself in middle school 🤣🤣🤣 Thought I would get sick of them, but 27 now and still enjoy them.
Swiss Cake Rolls are good that way too but you have to use a fork to eat them. Be especially decadent and pair them with vanilla ice cream if you try it.
When I was in college, there was a little open-almost-all-the-time restaurant across the street from the main campus. They served the “bunny cream” which was a warm honey bun with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was the go-to snack after a long night of studying for exams. Memories 🥹
I get little Debbie's for my students every year and no one ever takes the cosmic brownies. Like no one. I have to beg students to take the full boxes of cosmic brownies. Christmas tree cakes gone in no time flat. Nutty bars gone instantly as well. Cosmic brownies students think I'm mad at them :)
I live right around the corner from a Little Debbie factory here in Virginia and when the wind is just right, you can smell them baking the snack cakes.
Thank you Matt. My almost adult children adore Cosmic Brownies and I would have to be starving to eat one. Total waste of calories in my opinion. I’m a Star Crunch gal myself.
Oatmeal creme pies were the first Little Debbies that I had, but then I got to try the Swiss rolls, zebra cakes, nutty bars, fancy cakes, fudge rounds, and star crunches...oh, and the regular brownies. I still remember my brother reading the ingredients on the zebra cakes box and excitedly announcing that one of the ingredients was also used in the SR-71. Later, in college, I discovered the chocolate covered cherry creme round things that come around Christmas...over processed bliss.
Decades ago as a youngster, I couldn't wait to get home and devour a couple of Debbie's and a cold Royal crown soda. That's what you call living high on the hog.
@@ItsaSouthernThing never. But how bout a breakdown of the 41. 6 here so 7 more episodes of 5. Then have the winners of wach episodes compete against each other. That is 8 in one episode, but I believe in Matt.
one time i found a singular double decker fudge round in the bottom of the snack bag my mom had brought on our late-night roadtrip and it was like i had found the Holy Grail
I agree (almost) completely. I'm a PB addict. So nutty bars are at the top for me. I even agree with the oatmeal placement. I dont like oatmeal, but the melted down iron man added in must be what makes it delicious.
My aunt used to work at Little Debbie in NW Arkansas when I was a kid. We’d go to visit her and she had a CUPBOARD full of LD’s. My mom was a crunchy mom so me and my brother would like LIVE in the cupboard for two weeks. Best memories ever, thanks for reminding me of it! 👍
"Zebra cakes and Christmas tree cakes are not the same." THANK YOU! When we started the video, I mentioned how I love Christmas tree cakes above all and my wife said they were exactly the same. You have proven that I am correct. I can now strut around my house in my rightness for the rest of the evening.
I just about agree completely with this ranking. Although, I would argue that the fall snack cakes are the superior seasonal little debbie. All the goodness of a Zebra Cake, but with chocolate frosting instead of vanilla.
Oatmeal Cream Pie are my favorite. Your assessment of Christmas Tree Cake vs Zebra Cakes was perfect. I always eat any of these with a Dr Pepper and then ping for about an hour afterward. I have a low sugar tolerance but it doesn't stop me.
You must do a part two for this so you will accept that Little Debbie Donut Sticks are the best Little Debbie Snack. Imagine early spring mornings, rockin' on the fenced porch, big cup of coffee in one hand and dippin' a Donut Stick in the other. Ah, the slight chill in the air and that smell of fresh mowed grass. Of course you already mowed on the weekend. Tom next door woke up early and realized he needed to mow before the HOA sent a letter. So his mowing at 6 am in the dark woke you God awful early. And Tom doesn't care that he woke you early. You can complain about the early mowing but the HOA doesn't care about early noise complaints, only late ones. Dammit Tom! Just don't hold the Donut Stick too long in the coffee or it gets all soggy and falls apart in your coffee, though this does have it's merits. Thanks!
Donut sticks are underrated for sure. But I have to say, if I'm in a convenience store and looking at snack cakes for breakfast, I'm usually going for blueberry muffins, hostess fruit pies or donettes.
I agree the Christmas tree cake is definitely best ! We live in Chattanooga ten minutes from the Little Debbie store where they are made and we buy like 5 boxes every year !
I personally used to eat the hell out of the Strawberry Shortcake Rolls. I've finally gotten out of that phase, but man did those get me through a lot of high school
I was with you right up until the end. The oatmeal creme pies are far superior to all other little Debbie snacks. I do believe you may have had a stroke at the critical moment in claiming who is number 1. 😁
Ain't nothing better than grabbing a Little Debbie snack and a Coke and sitting under a shade tree and savoring pure taste heaven! I do appreciate you risking Diabetes to make this ranking, but I would choose Zebra Cakes as #1.
Oatmeal cream pies are definitely more southern than “Swiss” cakes, and tastier. Plus, the oatmeal gives them a tiny bit of healthiness. So definitely number one! Sorry, you just made a mistake. We all do.
When I was like 11 I was having a sleep over, and we basically had no snacks in the house. I ended up eating like 5 oatmeal cream pies that night and I haven't eaten one since, and I'm 28. I used to love them, but binge eating them one night ruined them for me forever. The thought of eating one is so unappetizing now. It's been 17 years and the flavor is still burnt into my tongue and mind whenever I see one.
Me too! Just said that in another comment. I know he said our favorite wouldn’t be there but I was a little surprised neither fudge round nor star crunch made the cut 🤷♀️ I guess our superior taste buds allow us to have the experience only the select few ever find. That being said, the OCP out of these should have won
Out of these 6, I would put Oatmeal Creme Pies in first. My favorite LD, however, is the scrumptious Raisin Creme Pies. Something about the creme and the breading hits different. Sooo tasty, and I enjoy raisins, so it’s a win for me.
"In the AC, where God intended us to be" 🤣 Although I feel the OCP's should be 1st, I respect Matt's decision 👏 with great power comes great responsibility. I'm gonna say it, where is Star Crunch? 🤔
Thank you, McKee Foods of Collegedale, Tennessee, for making all these fine, fattening products of deliciousness. Best BYR of them all, even with the opening mishap -- because Little Debbie > Hostess, and always will be. I'm on board with the six items chosen. I don't like them all, but they are the ones I consistently see the most at friends' and family places. My personal favorite are the Donut Sticks, preferably with a hot cuppa joe with cream in the morning.
Honorable mention, of the lesser known: Banana Twins, Strawberry Shortcake rolls, and I liked those seasonal egg nog rolls (not sure if they still make them).
I like stale banana twin cakes. Open a pack when you're making coffee, and by the time you go back to put your mug in the sink after your second cup (about two hours later), they're perfect.
I won't say it's the best, but i miss the apple spice cakes LD made when i was a kid. Very tasty and whenever I see a LD posting I bring it up, vainly hoping they'll come back.
For once I actually agree and approve of your rating, Matt. Swiss Cake is the Champion! The cosmic brownies needs to go and be replaced with the fudge rounds. Just saying.
My favorites were always the Devil Squares and the Fudge Rounds. The Devil Squares are becoming very hard to fund though. All the white cakes taste the same to me and the leave a film on the roof of my mouth. But I'll tear up the chocolate-covered Christmas Tree cakes in a heart beat.
Johnny’s Big Burgers in Clarksville TN has Honey Buns on their menu. They heat a Honey Bun on the grill until the bottom is a little crispy & the honey begins to melt. It’s served with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Pure heaven!🤤😋
Matt: "and I feel like you get more easier access to everything" Immediately following Matt: *box is ripped open because the perforated spot was too small and the double-cardboard end didn't tear off* Lol my thought process was exactly this when I saw the perforation and it didn't work for me either 🤣
My dad and I used to like Cosmic Brownies, but somewhere along the way it seems like they changed something and now they don't taste nearly as good. My favorite non-seasonal Little Debbie treats are caramel cookie bars. It's like a larger Twix bar but better. And of course Christmas Tree Cakes are amazing.
Love the honey buns and cream pies!! Get a large honey bun and warm it up in a skillet just enough to caramelize the sugar and serve with butter on top! Good groceries to snack on.
I couldn't agree more about the Swiss Rolls. Delicious and good for you (probably). I'm someone who peels the outer layer of chocolate off, and until I was about 33, I was skinnier. I was about 180lbs and I worked in retail so I walked probably 5 miles a day and lifted many heavy things (kinda like a workout). Anyhow, those and Fudge Rounds are my weakness. EDIT: Lifelong Braves fan!! Go Braves!!
The melting factor was always the bug issue with these so we always kept them in the freezer. I am also a bit surprised you didn't take them apart, that was always the most fun, splitting the wafers in the nutty bar, unrolling the swiss cakes and honey buns, and pulling the oatmeal and zebra cakes apart and seeing where the waxy coating and cream stayed. And you are definitely right about the honey buns and old people. I don't ever remember having those anywhere but Grandma's house :)
I like warming up the Honey Buns. Then grab some bacon jerky and sometimes hard boiled egg. BOOM you got a full breakfast from your local gas station . It’s like having pancake and eggs with bacon eaten by hand. So so good 😋🥰
For those that may be unfamiliar with Little Debbie's exploits: the difference between Zebra Cakes at #5 and Cosmic Brownies at #6 is GIGANTIC! Zebra Cakes are delicious, meanwhile, I wouldn't recommend Cosmic Brownies to my worst enemy.

Big Texas>Honey Buns
Fudge Rounds are the 🐐.
I'll concur with your rankings, though the fudge rounds, although I'm pretty sure they are a laxative, should have been involved here.
Swiss Rolls and Nutty Buddies should be kept in the freezer. It's best for their melty chocolate. It also allows them to be hidden behind the family size roast and bagged veggies in the 22ft upright freezer so that your five siblings don't find your stash.
Yep. And candy bars in the back of the refrigerator vegetable drawer.

Yeah, but it makes the Nutty Buddies hard!
☹😢
I was gonna say, in the fridge.
I can appreciate the bite diagram of zebra cake versus Christmas tree… But let’s be real there’s no way you take six bites, it’s two maybe three tops ! 😂😂
Now I just want a Christmas tree cake 😆
truth!
My same thought...Im thinking Who on earth takes 6 bites to eat a zebra cake?!?
That's what I'm asking the whole time
Think 2or 3 may went missing!!🤣🤗💯
No one kept a record on the empty wrappers,.Yall are Awesome,🤗🤣❤️
Finally, someone else that understands why the Oatmeal Creme Pie Big Pack is superior than the standard.
Exactly. The larger pies are by far the best.
Those tiny versions are like eating a lie
Wait.. this is NOT the consensus???
double decker ocp is amazing
I'm old enough to remember the Brownies used to just have a few crumbled pecans on top and none of this cosmic chocolate Chip topping. I'm disappointed Matt didn't dissect the nutty bars, you have to tear each layer off and eat it.
They still make the ones with walnuts on top. I have only seen them at Target. I’m fairly certain the cosmic ones sell better and are pushing the walnut ones out.
Those are still available
I was just about to comment that you must eat a layer at a time.
They still make those.
I used to eat the one with walnut also. My kid taste buds used to love them. Now I prefer OCP's 😆
Getting a new bless your rank is always great. It's like a surprise Super Bowl. I stop everything I'm doing and watch.
💯
Exactly
Truth
"Two pack. One for you, and another one for you, cause you don't share Little Debbie cakes." 😂🤣 Completely accurate. lol
One that most people sleep on is the star crunch. Chocolate, caramel, and rice crispy…
You lost me at rice
Indeed. I wonder if Matt should go back and do the BIG PACK Little Debbie cakes.
I never had star crunch. I might try to find them.

Watching Matt analyze Cosmic Brownies and just tear them apart soothed a part of my soul that I didn't even know needed soothing. Bless you.
“Gatlinburg fudge, but not like good Gatlinburg fudge” is one of the best, most relatable descriptions I’ve ever heard. 😂
I felt that one in my bones.
I live just outside of Galtinburg in Wears Valley, and we have a fudge shop where they make it daily two doors down...best fudge ever!!
We need you to do this 5 more times with 6 different LDs every episode and then take the 6 that won and rank them together.

For reals. This needs to happen . . . like yesterday.
"Inside. In the air conditioning. Where God intended us to be." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are missing out if you don't throw the Honey Bun in a microwave for about 15 seconds or freeze a Swiss Roll.
Or freeze a star crunch.
I love my heated honey buns with a little dab of butter on top!
@@porschepal7932 That hurts my teeth just thinking about it. Now if you'll excuse me, I feel the need to go try it.

The Peanut Butter Creme pies are AMAZING!
Fudge rounds….. now I need to go shopping
@@mvgsports You are correct!
Star crunch!!!!!!!
The best part of the nutty buddy is removing and eating each wafer individually.
There's no other way to eat them
Yes he ate them totally wrong!
OMG, I'm not the only one who does that? My parents used to get on me for doing that!
Yessss. Then licking the peanut butter on each wafer....😊
And soaking each layer in milk.

They aren't sprinkles they are sugar crystals
They also have a bit of spice to them.
Matt, the way you feel about Christmas Tree Cakes and Zebra Cakes is the way I feel about Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. 😂
yes, reese’s pb eggs are superior🙌🏻 they are way better than the plain cups 🤣
@@phoebe-jo7323 Preach! 🙌🏻

Eggs>cups. Am I right?
Felt absolutely attacked when you trashed the Cosmic Brownies, lol. I'm probably the reason why they are in the Top 6 Best Selling. 🤣

And add a little butter on top before putting in the microwave... YUM!
I agree warm them up
Forgot about pecan swirls! So good. Definitely have to unroll them and eat the center last.
With butter melting on it …😋
If you haven’t tried it yet I can confidently recommend heating honey buns in the microwave for a quick 15-30 seconds. It’s impeccable 😍👌
Yes with coffee, amazing!
Add little butter on top 🤤
Swiss Cake Rolls are good that way too but you have to use a fork to eat them. Be especially decadent and pair them with vanilla ice cream if you try it.

Cosmic Brownies: the flavor of disappointment.
I couldn't believe Star Crunch wasn't a top six! It was my childhood favorite right after oatmeal creme pies. Cosmic brownies seemed so left field.
Starcrunch is great, especially from the fridge.
I still remember when our mom introduced us to Star Crunches for the first time. She stopped buying them for some reason though.
My favorite is Star Crunch as well. Couldn't believe it didn't make the top 6 but the brownies did?!?
as someone in Arizona, I can confirm a chilled little Debbie treat is the most enjoyable for summertime (or anytime) consumption
Oatmeal creme pies were the first Little Debbies that I had, but then I got to try the Swiss rolls, zebra cakes, nutty bars, fancy cakes, fudge rounds, and star crunches...oh, and the regular brownies.

You have proven that I am correct. I can now strut around my house in my rightness for the rest of the evening.
I remember me and my grandmother having the Glazed Donut Sticks and coffee on the weekends :)
Donut Sticks are soooo good. I regret not ever trying them with coffee.
Donut sticks!!! 🤤
I just about agree completely with this ranking. Although, I would argue that the fall snack cakes are the superior seasonal little debbie. All the goodness of a Zebra Cake, but with chocolate frosting instead of vanilla.
No, no, no. The chocolate on the Zebra Cake is what ruins it. That's why Christmas Tree cakes are the most-est superior.
Nah, the orange zebra cakes are the best, at least I think they came in orange flavor at one point
Not here for the nutter butter blasphemy, but enjoying these videos! Great job Matt.
Oatmeal Cream Pie are my favorite. Your assessment of Christmas Tree Cake vs Zebra Cakes was perfect. I always eat any of these with a Dr Pepper and then ping for about an hour afterward. I have a low sugar tolerance but it doesn't stop me.
You must do a part two for this so you will accept that Little Debbie Donut Sticks are the best Little Debbie Snack. Imagine early spring mornings, rockin' on the fenced porch, big cup of coffee in one hand and dippin' a Donut Stick in the other. Ah, the slight chill in the air and that smell of fresh mowed grass. Of course you already mowed on the weekend. Tom next door woke up early and realized he needed to mow before the HOA sent a letter. So his mowing at 6 am in the dark woke you God awful early. And Tom doesn't care that he woke you early. You can complain about the early mowing but the HOA doesn't care about early noise complaints, only late ones. Dammit Tom! Just don't hold the Donut Stick too long in the coffee or it gets all soggy and falls apart in your coffee, though this does have it's merits. Thanks!
Donut sticks are underrated for sure. But I have to say, if I'm in a convenience store and looking at snack cakes for breakfast, I'm usually going for blueberry muffins, hostess fruit pies or donettes.
This comment took me on a journey, screw Tom, donuts forever! I hope this gets taken out of contact sometime later!
I agree the Christmas tree cake is definitely best ! We live in Chattanooga ten minutes from the Little Debbie store where they are made and we buy like 5 boxes every year !
This was way more aggressive than I thought Little Debbie would inspire.
I personally used to eat the hell out of the Strawberry Shortcake Rolls. I've finally gotten out of that phase, but man did those get me through a lot of high school
This.
Same, surprised they aren't in the top 6 sellers
My cousin who didn't like chocolate turned me on to strawberry rolls. I'll still buy one when I want a bit of a sweet.
honey bun in microwave for 30 sec, then top with a pat of butter: chef kiss
Nutty Buddy is what my boyfriend calls me.
Honey Buns is what i call him.
I was with you right up until the end. The oatmeal creme pies are far superior to all other little Debbie snacks. I do believe you may have had a stroke at the critical moment in claiming who is number 1. 😁
Zebra cakes are best!! But frozen Star Crunches are a great summer treat if you have strong teeth. LOL
A snack named "Swiss Rolls" beat the all-American greatness that is Nutty Buddy? Turn in your Southern Card Matt.
And now I am craving Swiss Cake Rolls. Thank you, Matt. ;-)
Ain't nothing better than grabbing a Little Debbie snack and a Coke and sitting under a shade tree and savoring pure taste heaven! I do appreciate you risking Diabetes to make this ranking, but I would choose Zebra Cakes as #1.
Oatmeal cream pies are definitely more southern than “Swiss” cakes, and tastier. Plus, the oatmeal gives them a tiny bit of healthiness. So definitely number one! Sorry, you just made a mistake. We all do.
If only he would listen to reason!
Oatmeal cream pies are absolutely the best!
Yassss!
When I was like 11 I was having a sleep over, and we basically had no snacks in the house. I ended up eating like 5 oatmeal cream pies that night and I haven't eaten one since, and I'm 28.
I used to love them, but binge eating them one night ruined them for me forever. The thought of eating one is so unappetizing now. It's been 17 years and the flavor is still burnt into my tongue and mind whenever I see one.
Facts
I always like the Star Crunch cookies. Sad they didn’t make the list. 😂
Me too! Just said that in another comment. I know he said our favorite wouldn’t be there but I was a little surprised neither fudge round nor star crunch made the cut 🤷♀️ I guess our superior taste buds allow us to have the experience only the select few ever find. That being said, the OCP out of these should have won
Exactly! But the brownies, zebra things, and Swiss Rolls did? What?!
Ditto. Star Crunch would beat them all!
Yes! I really don't like the cake type lil debbies.. star crunch is def where it's at.
Star Crunch, fall party cakes, valentines cakes.... YUM!
I hate sprinkles also. I have finally found someone who agrees.
Out of these 6, I would put Oatmeal Creme Pies in first. My favorite LD, however, is the scrumptious Raisin Creme Pies. Something about the creme and the breading hits different. Sooo tasty, and I enjoy raisins, so it’s a win for me.
Oh, I've never had those!
I always loved the raisin Creme pies but I picked the raisins off. Oatmeal Creme and devils cakes are my favorite though.
Mmmm, I forgot about the raisin creme pies. They put oatmeal to shame.
You have to pick off and eat the rasins 1st
@@archivist_of_dragonstone agreed
"In the AC, where God intended us to be" 🤣 Although I feel the OCP's should be 1st, I respect Matt's decision 👏 with great power comes great responsibility. I'm gonna say it, where is Star Crunch? 🤔
I also agree OCPs should be first
Nutty Buddy are my road trip treat of choice.
Thank you, McKee Foods of Collegedale, Tennessee, for making all these fine, fattening products of deliciousness.
Best BYR of them all, even with the opening mishap -- because Little Debbie > Hostess, and always will be.
I'm on board with the six items chosen. I don't like them all, but they are the ones I consistently see the most at friends' and family places. My personal favorite are the Donut Sticks, preferably with a hot cuppa joe with cream in the morning.
Except when you smell the burnt brownies on your way to class 😂
Raisin Cream Pies are also good. Maybe not top 6 but good.
Honorable mention, of the lesser known:
Banana Twins, Strawberry Shortcake rolls, and I liked those seasonal egg nog rolls (not sure if they still make them).
The Banana Twins have always had an offputting smell to me. The Boston Creme Rolls are amazing though.
Oatmeal pb&js man....
They will never be forgotten
Yes, the banana twins would be 3 rd behind OCP and NB. The pumpkin spice rool they have in the fall is nice too.
I like stale banana twin cakes. Open a pack when you're making coffee, and by the time you go back to put your mug in the sink after your second cup (about two hours later), they're perfect.
Those strawberry shortcake rolls are delicious.
Getting a Dollar General ad before watching this is just the cherry on top.
I really miss the Peanut Butter Bars. They were a shortbread cookie, topped with a strip of peanut butter, then coated with milk chocolate
Basically Twix without the caramel. But still good.
Sounds exactly like tagalong girl scouts (and alternatively walmart) sell
Me too!
Apparently my household is single-handedly keeping the cosmic brownie brand alive. They go great with a glass of chocky milk
So its your fault he thinks those are better sellers than strawberry shortcake rolls. CUZ HOW ELSE?
the brownie chocolate is way better than the swiss roll chocolate. now if they rolled up a brownie with some cream....
@@shaolinotter ... whats going on with you? You alright? You need something?
I won't say it's the best, but i miss the apple spice cakes LD made when i was a kid. Very tasty and whenever I see a LD posting I bring it up, vainly hoping they'll come back.
For once I actually agree and approve of your rating, Matt. Swiss Cake is the Champion! The cosmic brownies needs to go and be replaced with the fudge rounds. Just saying.
Wrong.
I have never had a Swiss cake yet that wasn’t dry and gross.
Fudge Rounds are where it is at!
Fudge rounds are definitely better than the brownie thing.
Fudge rounds or star crunch
My favorites were always the Devil Squares and the Fudge Rounds. The Devil Squares are becoming very hard to fund though. All the white cakes taste the same to me and the leave a film on the roof of my mouth. But I'll tear up the chocolate-covered Christmas Tree cakes in a heart beat.
Johnny’s Big Burgers in Clarksville TN has Honey Buns on their menu. They heat a Honey Bun on the grill until the bottom is a little crispy & the honey begins to melt. It’s served with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Pure heaven!🤤😋
I used to work in their corporate communications office. Great company to work for! Plus, there are always free Little Debbies in the break room!! 😋🍫😁
I could never work for them because I'd get fired for being in the break room. Lol
I'd weigh 800 pounds
So.... can you tell me why they completely abandoned the oatmeal pb&j pies?
Because that was my childhood... destroyed 😔
@Brie Fennell It's been 17 years since I worked there, so I don't have a clue how such a travesty happened. Very sorry for your loss. 😢
@@JodiLaRae so you were there during their boom! Must have been amazing
Matt: "and I feel like you get more easier access to everything"
Immediately following Matt: *box is ripped open because the perforated spot was too small and the double-cardboard end didn't tear off*
Lol my thought process was exactly this when I saw the perforation and it didn't work for me either 🤣
My dad and I used to like Cosmic Brownies, but somewhere along the way it seems like they changed something and now they don't taste nearly as good. My favorite non-seasonal Little Debbie treats are caramel cookie bars. It's like a larger Twix bar but better. And of course Christmas Tree Cakes are amazing.
Love the honey buns and cream pies!! Get a large honey bun and warm it up in a skillet just enough to caramelize the sugar and serve with butter on top! Good groceries to snack on.
230 calories is enough for me, I like warming it in the microwave but adding butter seems egregious. Not bad, but like, damn. I have arteries.
and a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream!
I couldn't agree more about the Swiss Rolls. Delicious and good for you (probably). I'm someone who peels the outer layer of chocolate off, and until I was about 33, I was skinnier. I was about 180lbs and I worked in retail so I walked probably 5 miles a day and lifted many heavy things (kinda like a workout). Anyhow, those and Fudge Rounds are my weakness.
EDIT: Lifelong Braves fan!! Go Braves!!
The melting factor was always the bug issue with these so we always kept them in the freezer. I am also a bit surprised you didn't take them apart, that was always the most fun, splitting the wafers in the nutty bar, unrolling the swiss cakes and honey buns, and pulling the oatmeal and zebra cakes apart and seeing where the waxy coating and cream stayed. And you are definitely right about the honey buns and old people. I don't ever remember having those anywhere but Grandma's house :)
Although there have been many exquisite "Bless Your Rank"(s), this one is the best by far. There were so many gems crammed in 15 minutes.
This is the video I was born for!! Before the video… Christmas tree cakes, I wait every year. Why the brownies? The worst 🤢
I like warming up the Honey Buns. Then grab some bacon jerky and sometimes hard boiled egg. BOOM you got a full breakfast from your local gas station . It’s like having pancake and eggs with bacon eaten by hand. So so good 😋🥰
I put my Swiss cake rolls in the freezer when summer rolls around!😋
Maybe Matt should try the ice cream versions of the Little Debbie’s Snacks and rank them ❤️🍦💯.
ice cream version?!
I fully expect a sequel when some of the seasonal variations roll out in the fall.
Pumpkin Delights for the win.
@@spaceracer23 100% agreed, can’t go wrong with a portable pumpkin pie snack!
Swiss Rolls...when you absolutely, positively have to make the camera crew laugh. 😁
For those that may be unfamiliar with Little Debbie's exploits: the difference between Zebra Cakes at #5 and Cosmic Brownies at #6 is GIGANTIC! Zebra Cakes are delicious, meanwhile, I wouldn't recommend Cosmic Brownies to my worst enemy.
Cosmic brownies are my favorites, don't know what ur on.
Cosmic brownies are significantly better, so other than being wrong… sure.
And cosmic brownies aren’t even very good, but they’re definitely better.
The range and depth of emotions that Matt went through in this video 😂💀
Ready to fight over oatmeal cream pies!
Christmas trees & oatmeal cookies are my favorites
I find no fault with your ranking of Little Debbie snack cakes. Well done, Mathew, very well done.
Agreed!👍
