Favorite kind of snack cake?

[Adam West]

As a side note, I don't eat snack cakes anymore but I always enjoyed Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies and Hostess Fruit Pies....I was partial to Blueberry.

Ding Dongs! Remember when they were bigger and wrapped in foil.

That's weird....around here in Maryland they were called King Don's. Just to make sure I wasn't having a bad memory, I looked it up and here it is

Don't remember who makes them, but the red velvet cake Twinkie knockoff.

I love those...and Hostess Cup Cakes as well.


Mexicans' number one Americanized/commercialized sweet treats are Gansitos Marinela..owned by giant Bimbo corporation:

Grupo Bimbo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You can usually find them in Mexican-themed markets...and you can even order them online:

Amazon.com: Gansito Marinela Pastelitos - Snack Cakes - 10 Gansitos - 1 lb 1.63oz: Gourmet Food

Mexicans have been eating them since the 50s...lol.

60s commercial with Chabelo:

70s commercial:

80s commercial:

50th anniversary commercial:

They are great if you freeze them too.





Mexicans LOVE them!!!

Either... or Tastykake Kandy Kakes(the peanut butter ones only)

I don't eat snackcakes any more because of my changed eating
habits over the years (desserts have become intimidatingly rich to me)

BUT

from memory...

I'm right there with Mike on the Butterscotch Krimpets---
probably the definitive treat in the "snackcake area"

BUT

del mentioned Tastykake's OTHER "big one" for me----which is
the Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes

Never "lunged for chocalate"---but add Peanut Butter????

I was ON it!

FUNNY BONES, man...I had a baysitter who'd put FUNNY BONES
in with my lunch---and I just went crazy.

One more thing---the JELLY Krimpets weren't anything to sneeze at either!
