PRIZE DRAWING: Because I Want You To Stuff Your Face With Sara Lee Snack Cakes

/ / Prize Drawing / 233 Comments

Creme Filled and Variety Hi Res

I mostly know Sara Lee for their pound cake, which I would eat straight from the aluminum loaf pan they came in. To be honest, prior to learning about Sara Lee’s new line of Crème Filled Snack Cakes, I didn’t know what else Sara Lee made besides pound cake.

But now my Sara Lee production knowledge has expanded and I now know the Sara Lee Crème Filled Snack Cakes line includes Devil’s Food Crème Cakes, Golden Fudge Cakes, Chocolate Crème Cupcakes and Golden Crème Cakes. Sara Lee also has a new line of Variety Snack Cakes, which include Buttery Sunshine Cakes, Crumb Cakes, and Cheese Topped Crumb Cakes.

If all that sounds wonderful, you’ll be happy to know we’re giving some away. Actually, thanks to the folks at Sara Lee, we’re giving away two Sara Lee Snack Cakes prize packs.

Each prize pack includes:

  • An assortment of Sara Lee Snack Cakes
  • An official Sara Lee logoed lunch box
  • An official Sara Lee logoed water bottle

The new Snack Cakes are now available in select markets across the U.S. including the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Pacific Northwest, South Central and Southern California, but they will be rolling them out nationally in August.

QUICK REVIEW: Post Honey Bunches of Oats Crunchy Honey Roasted Granola

Post Honey Bunches of Oats Crunchy Honey Roasted Granola

Purchased Price: $3.69
Size: 11 oz bag
Purchased at: Target
Rating: 6 out of 10
Pros: Tastes fine by itself or with milk. Nice mild sweet honey flavor. Sort of like eating Just Bunches, which are the best part of any Honey Bunches of Oats cereal. Crunchy. Comes in a resealable bag. Would be awesome to add to Honey Bunches of Oats cereals to give it more Honey Bunches of Oats.
Cons: Tastes similar to other granola. Chewing it makes my jaw sore. 11 ounces of granola doesn’t last very long. Does the world really need more companies making granola? Probably not wise to take on hikes in bear country.

QUICK REVIEW: Taco Bell Cantina Double Steak Quesadilla

Taco Bell Cantina Double Steak Quesadilla

Purchased Price: $6.59
Size: N/A
Purchased at: Taco Bell
Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros: Bigger than I thought it would be (12 inch tortilla that makes my hands look small). Lots of steak and cheese. Tender steak. Salsa has a nice flavor that goes well with the quesadilla and chips. Pepper jack cheese gives it enough flavor so you don’t need to dip it in the salsa. Comes with chips. Big containers of salsa and sour cream with enough to use with the quesadilla AND chips. Shareable. Awesome source of fiber, if you eat the whole thing. Everything Lorena Garcia touches.
Cons: Salsa wasn’t as spicy as I hoped it would be. Steak was unusually tender, as if it’s been prechewed. All the steak was concentrated at the bottom of the quesadilla. Awesome source of sodium and saturated fat, if you eat the whole thing. Smells like everything else from Taco Bell that’s been grilled.

Here are some interesting new and limited edition products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers. If you’ve tried any of the products, share your thoughts about them in the comments.

Klondike Candy Bars

What would I do for a Klondike The Candy Bar? They look small, so probably shoplifting. ZOMG Candy reviewed both. (Spotted by Leah at Wegmans.)

David Trail Mix

David Trail Mix? But what will I spit on the ground and upset janitors with? (Spotted by Charmi at Walgreens.)

Special K Chili Lime Cracker Chips

Oh! Missed opportunity for Kellogg’s Special K Kracker Khips. Oh wait. That sounded better in my head. (Spotted by Steven at Target.)

Bertolli Lemoncello

Back in my day, Bertolli made only olive oil and pasta sauces. Look at them now making new fangled Bertolli dinner chasers. (Spotted by Shannon at Tops.)

Prego Artisan Three Cheese and Homestyle Alfredo

There are these two new flavors and this new flavor. Wow. Prego sure is bringing a lot of new flavors into the world. Prego is such an appropriate name. (Spotted by Charmi at Walmart.)

Thank you to all the photo contributors!

QUICK REVIEW: Post Honey Bunches of Oats Greek Mixed Berry Cereal

Post Honey Bunches of Oats Greek Mixed Berry Cereal

Purchased Price: $3.49
Size: 15.5 oz box
Purchased at: Walmart
Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros: Mostly tastes like berry flavored yogurt, but at times it tastes like Fruity Pebbles. Good source of fiber. Fortified with vitamins and minerals. Low fat. Great source of whole grain. Granola doesn’t get soggy in milk; the granola’s crunch sort of makes up for the soggy flakes.
Cons: I don’t know if I got a bad box, but most of the cereal flakes were crushed into little pieces. Can’t taste individual berries; it’s more of a generic berry flavor. Flakes quickly become super soggy in milk.
