Little Debbie Pecan Spinwheels

A few hours ago, I was at a small corner grocery store in my neighborhood buying turkey and pickles, when I noticed a variety of Little Debbie snack cakes that I had never seen before. The item I am referring to is the single serving sized package of Little Debbie Pecan Spinwheels.

Through the years, I have eaten other brands of pecan spinwheels, but I didn't know that Little Debbie made them. A few minutes ago, I ate one of these pecan sweet rolls and it was delicious.These tasty treats have impressed me enough to want to write a review of them. Presented here, as a service to the consumer at large, is one food writer's product review of Little Debbie Pecan Spinwheels.

Size
The net weight of the single serving sized package of Little Debbie Pecan Spinwheels is 2.1 ounces (60 grams). According to the product's nutrition facts label, one package, which contains two pecan spinwheel sweet rolls, counts as one serving.

In physical size, each pecan spinwheel measures roughly 2" - 2.25.

Price
The suggested retail price printed on the front of each 2.1 ounce package of Little Debbie Pecan Spinwheels is $0.75c and that is the price I paid for one package today at a small grocery store in Hartford, Connecticut.

Texture
These tasty pecan sweet rolls feature a soft and pleasing texture. If you're not familiar with pecan spinwheels, they are round and spiral shaped and you can unravel them into long strips of pecan flavored dough, if you so desire. The overall mouth feel offered by these sweet rolls is quite pleasant.

Taste / Flavor
The flavor offered by Little Debbie Pecan Spinwheels is very appealing. Although they are pecan flavored treats, I can detect cinnamon and apple flavors in these sweet rolls as well.

These pecan spinwheels are sweet, but not overly sweet, which I think is a positive factor. When eaten with a hot cup of coffee, the flavor of these pecan sweet rolls really shines.

On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign these pecan spinwheels a rating of nine.

Little Debbie Pecan Spinwheels are packaged in a yellow, red and brown wrapper that features a clear, see through window through which the spinwheels can be viewed.

Inside the wrapper, the pecan spinwheels sit upon a cardboard sleeve, which helps to keep them intact. The package opens easily and the rear label lists all pertinent ingredient and nutritional information.

Available at convenience stores, pharmacies and grocery stores across America, Little Debbie Pecan Spinwheels offer a mellow, pleasant flavor that is not too sweet.
