Imagine one without any, and then translate that generic sweetness onto a ball of puffed corn. If you can imagine how sad that would taste, congratulations, you\u2019ve just summed up the entire flavor profile of Herr\u2019s Funnel Cake Snack Balls. <\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it\u2019s a pretty dull experience. Without the fun stuff, funnel cakes are a ho-hum mess of fried pancake dough, and these snack balls are proof that they don\u2019t have enough taste on their own to successfully inspire any other kind of treat.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Honestly, I don\u2019t feel these are so bad. They\u2019re just incomplete. Like I said before, funnel cakes have toppings, right? Since Herr\u2019s neglected to take care of that, I decided to take matters into my own hands and gussie up a few as though they were the belle of the state fair\u2019s funnel cake ball.  <\/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\/2018\/07\/Herrs-Sweet-n-Crunchy-Funnel-Cake-Snack-Balls-3a.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Herr s Sweet  n Crunchy Funnel Cake Snack Balls 3a\" title=\"Herr's Sweet 'n Crunchy Funnel Cake Snack Balls 3a.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And, just as I expected, the toppings made all the difference. Even though this is never a flavor that\u2019s going to be super exciting, the addition of some traditional funnel cake accoutrements make the experience seem more genuine by allowing the snack balls to act as little vehicles for delivering powdered sugar and whipped cream to your mouth, much like an actual funnel cake.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Compared to other Herr&#8217;s creations, Funnel Cake Snack Balls look woefully beige and unexciting from the start, and their flavor is as bland as the naked funnel cakes they resemble. If you decide to buy a bag of these anyway, be prepared to dress them up because there\u2019s not going to be enough flavor to keep you interested otherwise.<\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $1.89<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 6 oz. bag<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Ollie&#8217;s Bargain Outlet<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Nutrition Facts:<\/b> (39 pieces) 140 calories, 70 calories from fat, 7 grams of total fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 15 milligrams of sodium, 19 grams of total carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 9 grams of total sugars, 8 grams of added sugars, and 1 gram of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is it?
