\"Little<\/p>\n

Guess who\u2019s back, back again? Debbie\u2019s back, tell a friend.<\/p>\n

The talented folks at Hudsonville Creamery, who have previously brought us the Little Debbie Snack Cake-inspired pints of ice cream, are at it again with their latest frozen offering: Little Debbie Oatmeal Cr\u00e8me Pie and Cosmic Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to begin this review by establishing that I authentically like Little Debbie Snack Cakes\u2014specifically, Oatmeal Cr\u00e8me Pies and Cosmic Brownies. I enjoy the ubiquitously soft chewy texture, the sweetness so intense it almost hurts your teeth, and the artificial colors in the candy sprinkles. I love it all, in moderation. You might think that because this is a junk food blog, enjoying classic Little Debbie is a cost-of-entry detail. But I find it important to mention because I\u2019ve seen internet hatred spewed toward Little Debbie Ice Creams by people who, admittedly, don\u2019t even LIKE the snack cakes themselves. Their reviews felt negatively skewed until they revealed that detail, so I wanted to make it clear where I stood in case you hadn\u2019t figured it out from my 2022 review<\/a>. Now, onward.<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

\"Only<\/p>\n

I started with the Cosmic Brownie ice cream sandwich, and my first emotion was extreme disappointment. These bad boys cost almost $10 for a pack of FOUR, and they look terrible straight out of the box. The chocolate ice cream filling had smooshed out of a couple of sides, and there was a sad view of visible rainbow candies.<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

Tasting the Cosmic Brownie ice cream sandwich was a different experience. The brownie\u2019s texture was soft and chewy, and the ice cream held its integrity through the bite, not squishing out the sides at all. The brownie-flavored ice cream itself was light in texture and not so fudgy as to take away from the fudgy brownie surrounding it. Together, it was an enjoyable and well-balanced bite. I also noticed many more rainbow candies throughout the brownie as I ate.<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

I tasted the Oatmeal Cr\u00e8me Pie ice cream sandwich next. Without looking up the Nielsen data, I\u2019d still guess the Oatmeal Cr\u00e8me Pie is Little Debbie\u2019s top-selling snack cake. My 90\u2019s nostalgia will never forget that scene from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids<\/em> where they encounter a larger-than-life snack cake while shrunken in their backyard. Anyway, the appearance of this ice cream sandwich was much more promising straight out of the box, and the box came with six rather than four. Off to a better start already.<\/p>\n

Similar to the Cosmic Brownie version, this one absolutely nailed the texture. The cookies were so incredibly reminiscent of the snack cake. In fact, I\u2019d even go as far as to say I like these substantially more. They had cinnamon and molasses notes and were soft but substantial.<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

The ice cream had almost a marshmallow flavor, although the box described it as \u201cVanilla Cr\u00e8me,\u201d so I can only imagine they were aiming to replicate the snack cake flavor there, too. These are very good. If you\u2019re only going to buy one of the two, buy these. My husband and I fought over the last one; they were so delicious.<\/p>\n

Look, you might have reached this point and rolled your eyes six different times at the earnestness of a woman who told you she liked Little Debbie and then waxed poetically about these ice cream sandwiches for several paragraphs, and to that I say LET ME LIVE.<\/p>\n

My ONLY issues with these are that they are expensive and the Cosmic Brownies are kind of messily packaged, which seems like a rip-off given the price. The Cosmic Brownie sandwich is a little bigger, but I only noticed that when filling out the pricing details below. Otherwise, I think Hudsonville has done an excellent job paying homage, yet again, to our friend Deborah.<\/p>\n
