Little Debbie\u2019s other patriotic goodies this year have blue star sprinkles on the white icing and red stripes, but these blueberry rolls have no such sprinkles, and the blueberry filling is purple. Now, we all know that blueberries become purple when you put them in things, but these have artificial colors and no blueberries. <\/p>\n<p>Why didn\u2019t they keep their patriotic theme by just making it blue instead of purple? Or at least put some stars on top like they did the others? The red and white outside looks as much like a candy cane as it does the waving stripes of the American flag.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Little-Debbie-Red-White-and-Blueberry-Creme-Rolls-3.jpg?resize=598%2C318\" alt=\"Little Debbie Red White and Blueberry Creme Rolls 3\" title=\"Little Debbie Red, White and Blueberry Creme Rolls 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"598\" height=\"318\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When I ate the roll, I was surprised to find the blueberry flavor to be faint. The last Little Debbie cakes I had were the St. Patrick\u2019s Day Creme Rolls, which were very minty, so I expected the berry flavor to stand out more. <\/p>\n<p>Instead, it hides behind the generic white \u201cicing\u201d and yellow cake. If you\u2019ve had Little Debbie cakes, you know what I\u2019m talking about \u2014- that super sweet coating and that dry-ish cake that always sounds better than it is. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Little-Debbie-Red-White-and-Blueberry-Creme-Rolls-4.jpg?resize=599%2C337\" alt=\"Little Debbie Red White and Blueberry Creme Rolls 4\" title=\"Little Debbie Red, White and Blueberry Creme Rolls 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I had another roll the next day to make sure I still thought the berry flavor was lacking. And then I figured it out. I can taste and even smell the blueberry, but the level of berry-ness is more along the lines of a blueberry bagel than a blueberry pie. <\/p>\n<p>I think this works to the cake\u2019s advantage; fake blueberry flavor often goes wrong. Oddly enough, I could taste the blueberry more when I ate the cake as a whole than when I licked the creme by itself. The creme alone reminds me of the excessive frosting on cheap grocery store cupcakes.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Little-Debbie-Red-White-and-Blueberry-Creme-Rolls-5.jpg?resize=598%2C306\" alt=\"Little Debbie Red White and Blueberry Creme Rolls 5\" title=\"Little Debbie Red, White and Blueberry Creme Rolls 5.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"598\" height=\"306\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I had to buy some blueberries, bananas, and asparagus along with my snack cakes to make me feel better about myself, so I decided to put some blueberries on the last bit of the cake. And I really liked it better that way; it provided a nice contrast to the overly sweet pastry. Plus, I got to pretend to be healthy.<\/p>\n<p>At thirty-something cents a cake, these are passable. You get what you pay for. I would have liked a stronger blueberry flavor, but the faintness is better than too much. <\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 roll \u2013 280 calories, 120 calories from fat, 13 grams total fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 2 grams of polyunsaturated fat, 3.5 grams of monounsaturated fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, 130 milligrams of sodium, 20 milligrams of potassium, 39 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 29 grams of sugar, and 1 gram of protein..)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.00<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 13.1 oz. package (6 rolls)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Walmart<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Blueberry flavor is light, which is better than too much.
