Happy Happy Wednesday everybody and welcome to another Junk Food Review. At the expense of possibly offending people with the title today, to be honest, I really just couldn’t think of a better one. I really didn’t want to call it ‘trash food’ or ‘redneck food’ because nowadays people are always taking offense to something, amiright? so I thought Hillbilly might be less offensive possibly? What I was really trying to get across, is that sometimes there are foods that you’re mildly embarrassed to admit that you eat, or even want to be seen buying. I mean, just so y’all know, I had those Fried Twinkies hidden under a bag of lettuce in my cart, and then did self checkout, because I was just in no mood to get that kind of judgement…
Anyways, let’s get to it shall we? First off, we have Snoballs. I know that these things have been around for forever, but I recently realized that I had never had them before, which is shocking because they have marshmallows, chocolate cake and coconut, a few things that I love.
seems promising, even with the scary green color…
looks pretty yummy…
Alrighty, so I genuinely had high hopes for these bad boys because as I mentioned above Snoballs contain some of my favorite ingredients and wow were these disappointing. At first bite, I thought that they were similar to just a regular Hostess creme filled chocolate cake, then the almost plastic taste & texture of the coconut kicked in and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how they managed to mess up coconut so badly. The only thing worse was the marshmallow, which left the funkiest after taste in my mouth. On the bright side, the chocolate cake was soft and moist and the creme filling was pretty tasty. Overall I give these a 5 out of 10, and I will definitely not be partaking in these again, probably ever.
Okay next we have the Fried Twinkies, which yes, come from the frozen food aisle a special place in hell…
mmm…
Okay y’all, I want to preface this review with the fact that I really, really, really wanted to dislike these things for a multitude of reasons. First off, I figured anything that is normally consumed at fairs and is freshly (I’m using the term “fresh” loosely here) fried on site wouldn’t translate well to a freezer to be reheated at home. Secondly, this product is embarrassing to buy and I was hoping to never again have to wear a disguise to buy food again (just kidding, kind of). Boy was I wrong, y’all, these Fried Twinkies are awesome! I swear, the moment I opened the little bags that they came in and before they were heated up, they totally smelled like the fair (with a side of shame obvi). OMG, they’re 100x better than regular Twinkies, they come out perfectly hot and decadent from the oven and you will have to control yourself not to burn the ever loving out of your mouth because they smell so amazing. They are crunchy on the outside and super gooey in the middle. These are a must taste, they definitely get a 10 out of 10, just let your inner hillbilly out and go get some of these. Just fyi, I have seen these at Kroger and Wal-Mart, and luckily both have 24 hour locations and self checkout so as not to be seen purchasing this shamefully delicious food haha.
Thanks again for stopping by and I hope you all have wonderful day!!!
