\"Drake<\/p>\n

What are Drake’s Alpine Yodels?<\/h3>\n

I don’t know about you, but Yodelers remind me of fresh alpine snow.<\/p>\n

I guess the good folks at Drake’s agree because they’ve decided to invert the color (and flavor) of their classic chocolate snack rolls.<\/p>\n

How are they?<\/h3>\n

I grew up with a guy named Al Pine.<\/p>\n

He was just another generic white dude who didn’t really bring much to the table. I can’t say I necessarily enjoyed his presence, but he was\u2026 fine? Pretty boring. Decent guy, I guess.<\/p>\n

Ok, I’m lying. Al Pine’s not real, but everything I said about him rings true to new Alpine Yodels. I’m pretty sure they’d be dead center on the “best snack cake” chart. These could literally be the barometer for average.<\/p>\n

\"Drake<\/p>\n

Obviously, the usual Yodel chocolate is replaced by a bland, “as mildly salty as sweet,” white plastic fudge. I think? I don’t actually know what Drake’s classifies its shell as.<\/p>\n

\"Drake<\/p>\n

When you couple that thin coating of milky nothing with a yellow cake and the usual cr\u00e8me, you’re left with just a benign vanilla-ish flavor that will make you yearn for chocolate.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

\"Drake<\/p>\n

Fresh Yodels have a great texture, so while these don’t burst with flavor, that aspect was still as enjoyable as I remember. Yet I’m bummed because I love a good Yodel, or Devil Dog, or Ding Dong.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

If the shell was double the thickness with a stronger white chocolate flavor, these would creep up the list. But for now, I stand by the assessment that they are the most average snack cake of all time. Maybe that’s your thing, but if I indulge in a snack cake, it might as well be worth the calories.<\/p>\n
