At two bucks or so for a two-pack, they&#8217;re at a level where it&#8217;s easy to add them to an order without the guilt. They&#8217;re also available in a 12-pack for sharing, binging, or adding guilt. However, I found them to be mediocre and not worth the 12-pack.<\/p>\n<p>To test these and save money, I picked up a two-pack, and upon inspecting their exterior, they looked good. The salted caramel sugar gives every bite a sugary crispiness that somewhat makes up for the lack of crispiness from the dough&#8217;s fried exterior.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tbddlcindelight2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-71592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tbddlcindelight2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tbddlcindelight2.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tbddlcindelight2.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tbddlcindelight2.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tbddlcindelight2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While dragging my tongue across the sugar like I&#8217;m a horse at a salt lick, I noticed a very weak caramel taste that didn&#8217;t have any saltiness. However, I knew that it would be the Dulce de Leche filling that I should be dulce de licking to get most of the flavor. And that filling was\u2026meh. I&#8217;m not sure it hits the milky notes of dulce de leche, and instead tasted like a weakened caramel sauce.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tbddlcindelight3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-71593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tbddlcindelight3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tbddlcindelight3.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tbddlcindelight3.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tbddlcindelight3.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tbddlcindelight3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Maybe it tasted weak because there wasn&#8217;t a lot of sauce stuffed into it.
