Hostess - 100 Calorie Cupcakes Reviews

I saw these at the store and well once in awhile I will lean towards a bit of chocolate.  Hostess came out with 100 calorie packs (3 to a pack) cup cakes.  They don't have the little white squiggle on the top, but they sure do taste like the normal sized Hostess CupCakes I had when I was a kid.  They are about silver dollar size in diameter and about a little over a half inch thick.  They still have that wonderful creamy filling in the middle too (so good).   I bought the six / three pack box and yes I will have to hide these from myself… read full review »

I really wanted to like these. I'm on Weight Watchers and these are only 1 point per 3 mini-cupcake serving but ...yuck, why bother?! They're too dry to enjoy and really don't taste that great. If you want a much better alternative try BlueBird's 100 calorie Mini Chocolate Cupcakes instead. They're incredibly moist, tasty and CHEAPER!!!!… read full review »

For those of you that love the great taste of hostess cakes but are watching calories, this is the right size snack for you. I love the convenient trio pack and the flavor variety. The only cons I had on this was that the cupcakes are really small! I didn't feel the guilt of this calorie snack, but it is a little bit of a teaser because you don't get much cake for the calories. However, the product does taste like other yummy hostess cakes so you won't be disappointed in the… read full review »

Unfortunately the saying, "Too good to be true" applies to this product. — — The idea of a 100 calorie pastry snack fills my eyes with stars* But let's get real, it needs — to be healthy calories. If I want a healthier version of a chocolate cupcake, I'm going to make — it myself. Sure it takes time and effort, by my health is worth it. — — If you like lard, hydrogenated oils and countless preservative you can't pronounce in your food, knock yourself out and go for it. Read the box and see how many ingredients are in this product, I mean what happen to a… read full review »

This product is just another in the new wave of 100 calorie packs. While I personally don't understand everyone's fascination with only eating 100 calories at a time, it is a good option for those who have a problem with portion control. —  The tiny cupcakes taste just like the full sized hostess cupcakes, so if you love them (and I definitely do!) you will love these cute little ones. Plus, chocolate cravings can lead to a horrendous binge, but these are the perfect amount of sweetness to satisfy said cravings. —… read full review »

A friend introduced me to this product, at first I was not interested in trying when I heard they were low calorie.  After trying the cupcake my first impress was right, it was chocolate alright.  Which made it a little bit better, however it was on the dry side.  I have decided to choose the regular fat filled cupcake and enjoy the full flavor and forget the calories that come with the enjoyment, when eating these regular products.  I would not recommend this product to anyone.  —… read full review »

They were light, not dry, and very tasty. Yes,they were a bit small, but they made me feel satisfied. Eaten slowly and savored, they provide a nice sweet treat without tons of calories. I would reccommend them to… read full review »

MMMM....chocolate cupcakes and only 100 calories.  Sounds great right?  Turn the box over and read the ingredient list.  When you make you own cupcakes at home, you can recognize the ingredients.  Do you recognize all of the ones on this box?  Low calorie does not always mean healthy!!  —… read full review »

I love these snacks.  They don't sabotage my diet.  They are just sweet enough and they are the right amount to satisfy my sweet tooth.  I keep some in my car to keep me from going into the Krispy Kreme or run into the local Albertsons for a high calorie snack.  I especially love the carrot cake… read full review »

These 100 calorie cupcakes have a great taste and are low in enough in carbs for most diabetics to eat. I am a borderline diabetic and when I crave a sweet, I grab a pack of these to eat. I found they do not raise my blood sugar over my limit. They are not messy and they satisfy the sweet craving.… read full review »
