\"Hostess<\/p>\n

What are they?<\/h3>\n

Two new flavors to the Hostess Bakery Petites Cake Delights line, joining Vanilla White Fudge and Double Chocolate, which you can read about <\/a>here. They\u2019re basically eco-friendly cake pops because they aren\u2019t on top of a stick that gets thrown away. Although, now that I think about it, they come in a non-recyclable, resealable bag, so, I guess, they\u2019re not eco-friendly cake pops.<\/p>\n

How are they?<\/h3>\n

\"Hostess<\/p>\n

The Salted Caramel one is great if you love chocolate, but not great if you love salted caramel. The chocolate cake and coating dominated every bite. There are brief moments of caramel from the creme filling, but there\u2019s too little of the filling to make it stand out.<\/p>\n

As you can see, there are cloudy granules on every piece, which makes you think these might be salty. But no fears, my hypertension-prone friends, they may crunch like salt, but they don\u2019t taste like it. If there\u2019s any saltiness, my taste buds couldn\u2019t detect it.<\/p>\n

\"Hostess<\/p>\n

The Strawberries & Creme also had opaque granules in the coating. But some pieces had a lot of them, and others hardly had any. They\u2019re there just for show and crunch because I didn\u2019t notice a difference in flavor between those that had an abundance of them and those that didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\"Hostess<\/p>\n

Two foods that came to mind as I was eating these mini cake bites were Red Vines and overripe strawberries, but mostly the candy. The strawberry comes from the cake which is made using fruit puree. They have a natural flavor, meaning they don\u2019t taste like Strawberry Nesquik or cheap strawberry candies, but they smell artificial.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

The coating might\u2019ve melted a little in the bag after being shipped to stores, which could cause the cake bites to fuse together. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

These two Hostess Bakery Petites Cake Delights varieties are fine, but they don\u2019t make me want to repurchase them so that I can plate them at my next tea party. If you like chocolate, get the Salted Caramel one, but you also get the Double Chocolate one. As for the Strawberries & Creme, I enjoyed it a little less than the other new variety, but it\u2019s still good. Also, I feel some folks will find its flavor to be odd.<\/p>\n
