Growing up these used to be my favorite treat of the holidays. Somehow, I’ve made it through 8 reviews with these at the ready, and now the floodgates are open.
As a reviewer it’s my obligation to keep indulging until I can accurately review the product. If I have to individually unwrap four of these to correctly describe the tasting notes, then that’s my duty to both my fellow readers and little debbie.
Eating my first one brought back waves of nostalgia. The last two years I can’t recount buying these and the time elapsed worried me. Those worries can be put to bed because of course they taste the same. They have the perfect amount of gingerbread flavoring that just breaks down in your mouth as you suck in all the flavors. It’s insanely cravable and the icing with those festive sprinkles just melds in like Santa going down the right sized chimney. I need an advent calendar with one of these in every door.
The downside is that every gingerbread man has 90 calories with 7g of sugar. If I’m gonna eat the whole box in one sitting I have to be ok with those 56g. Obviously it’s not meant for that, but my self control is why I stay away from these things usually.
The final question is if it feels like Christmas? Does Mariah Carey own the holidays?
