Oatmeal Cream Pies. Nutty bars, which one must eat layer by layer like a KitKat. Swiss rolls. Starcrunch treats. Anything holiday themed. I haven’t had any of these in ages. I will be visiting the Little Debbie park. ---

I have a far simpler answer - The one in front of me. ---

Either the [Ah Caramel](https://www.vachon.com/en/brand/ah-caramel) or the [Passion Flakie](https://www.vachon.com/en/brand/passion-flakie). Sorry for fighting the hypothetical but Vachon is Canadian equivalent of Little Debbie. ---

I don’t do much with sweets but Nutty Bars sometimes find a way under my skin and I’ll have some. Same with the brownies, so cloying and gummy. ---

My wife is sad because nobody makes a gluten-free version of the Nutty Buddy Bars. ---

I just saw Little Debbie Nut Bar and Oatmeal Creme ice cream at the grocery store. ---

Pecan Spinwheels. I like unrolling them and then take bites. The cinnamon is really good. Option 2 is Little Debbie Honeybuns > **[Pecan Spinwheels® | Little Debbie](https://littledebbie.com/www/snackproducts/view/50/pecan-spinwheels)** > > Soft pastry rolled with cinnamon spice and pecan pieces. ---

Was the Oatmeal Creme the Blue Bell brand? _Tres_ excellent. ---

I had to look up my favorite to make sure it was a Little Debbie product. It is! Although Hostess makes them too. Cream filled chocolate cupcakes - love love love! I also like the gingerbread cookies. ---

How long have TastyKake pies sucked? They were fantastic in the '70s and '80s. Last time I had one, it was really lame. ---

I’ve been on a mission the last couple of days to find individual Little Debbie snacks. I’ve been unsuccessful thus far, but have only visited places within walking distance. ---

I went to the grocery store and got a box of the Peanut Butter Pies. QUITE good, they taste very high quality. They are near impossible to eat from the fridge (not as easy as Oatmeal Pies) but I got through one after it sat out a bit. They’d probably be better if the peanut butter cream wasn’t SO sweet but these are really good and I’ll be getting more! I did also find something new called a Kazbar but it just occurred to me that these are Hostess snacks so I won’t sully the sub with a review 😛 ---

Swiss rolls are the #1 choice for me with oatmeal pies coming second. But I like much of their other stuff too. ---

> [@ZipperJJ](#): > > they taste very high quality It’s been probably decades since I’ve had anything by Little Debbie, but I remember them from childhood as being _not_ very high quality—the “poor man’s Hostess”: cheap, but tasting like they were made out of wax. They’re no longer nearly as cheap, so I haven’t even been tempted to buy some, but if the quality has actually improved, maybe I will. ---

Are you talking all Little Debbie snacks or specifically the PB Pies? I’m only talking about the PB Pies tasting high qualify. I can’t think of anything about this snack that could taste of wax (other LD snacks, yes very much so waxy). ---

> [@ZipperJJ](#): > > Are you talking all Little Debbie snacks or specifically the PB Pies? All—I don’t remember ever trying the PB pies, although I vaguely remember something similar to the Oatmeal Creme Pies that had peanut butter and jelly.
