Little Debbie 100 Calories! Chocolate Cakes Product Review

Kassidy Emmerson
If I were stranded on a desert island with only one sweet, I'd choose chocolate cake. I can pass up pies, donuts and other baked goodies, but chocolate cake is a real weakness of mine. That's why, when I spotted a box of name-brand chocolate cakes at the grocery, I immediately began drooling. Read this Little Debbie 100 Calories! Chocolate Cakes Product Review and find out all about them!

Price and Availability
I found Little Debbie 100 Calories! Chocolate Cakes at Kroger. A box of six cost around two dollars. Any store that carries Little Debbie products probably have them. I couldn't find a "Product Locator" on the company website, which is unusual.

Ingredients
Little Debbie 100 Calories! Chocolate Cakes contain: sugar, water, enriched bleached flour (wheat flour, barley malt, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), folic acid, corn syrup, soybean oil, cocoa processed with alkali, partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oil with TBHQ to preserve flavor. Little Debbie 100 Calories! Chocolate Cakes also contain cream cheese powder (cream cheese, cream, milk, nonfat milk, whey, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes), whey, silicon dioxide, natural flavor, tocopherols and ascorbyl palmitate (to help protect flavor), egg whites and cocoa.

A serving of Little Debbie 100 Calories! Chocolate Cakes is, of course, one. One cake is .95 ounce. It contains 25 calories from fat, 3 grams total fat, 1 gram saturated fat, 0 grams trans fat, 5 milligrams cholesterol and 115 milligrams sodium. One Little Debbie 100 Calories! Chocolate Cake contains 17 grams of carbohydrates, less than 1 gram dietary fiber, 12 grams sugars and 1gram protein.

Taste Test and Conclusion
Each Little Debbie 100 Calories! Chocolate Cake is a definite treat. They're moist and full of chocolate-ty flavor. The icing across the top is moist and tasty as well.

I must say, I was shocked when I opened the box and saw how small each Little Debbie 100 Calories! Chocolate Cake is. Wow!

I wrote an article titled, "The Problem with 100-Calorie Snack Packs". One of the problems is, they're so small that it's difficult to eat just one (or one pack)! I must admit that, when I grabbed a Little Debbie 100 Calories! Chocolate Cake to satisfy my craving, I had to use some will power. I felt so cheated at the small cake size. That, is undoubtedly a good thing, though, because I was able to limit myself to one at a sitting!

Will I buy Little Debbie 100 Calories! Chocolate Cakes again? Undoubtedly so! I just wish the company would make them a little more nutritious.
