- Hello, my name is Talia
- Today, we're gonna be trying Little Debbie hacks
- Take Little Debbie cakes, mess with them, serve them up.
- Hack.
All right, we drop the Star Crunch into some peanut butter.
Smells good.
- I will say this, before I take a bite,
'cause I know I'm gonna get a lot of heat over it.
I've never actually been a huge fan
of chocolate and peanut butter together.
- Star Crunch, Rice Krispies,
plus peanut butter, chocolate.
This is a combination that I don't think you can mess up.
- This probably already exists,
what I'm about to eat,
in some form that Reese's has already made.
Reese's getting out of control with their product line.
Here we go.
- It's good.
There's the chocolate.
It's got a crunch and the peanut butter.
It just works.
Thank God we do this as a career.
- I like it better with peanut butter than without.
Yeah, the chocolate flavor is not as strong
and maybe the caramel isn't either,
but it all blends together really, really well.
- That's really good.
Anytime you take Little Debbie
and make it even more unhealthy, I'm gonna be a fan.
- What do I think about peanut butter-covered Star Crunch?
It is delicious.
And I will save this for later.
- That's two thumbs up all day, baby.
- Two thumbs up. Three if I had an extra arm.
- I have got very cold, frozen Swiss Rolls.
- Which I've actually eaten before.
- Yeah, that's cool. Huh?
- Does this count as a hack?
I have a theory.
It gets really hot during the summertime.
Swiss cake rolls melt.
This takes that away.
Yeah, you can see my fingers.
Chocolate residue-free.
- Come on.
Oh my teeth. It's so cold.
It's good though.
It's like putting Thin Mints in the freezer.
It just makes them better
because all of a sudden it's refreshing.
- It's like a quick and dirty ice cream sandwich.
The cream in the middle,
but it does kind of have like a faux ice cream texture
to it.
- The Swiss Roll normally is real smushy.
It's got that soft Little Debbie cake
and that cream all in it.
Structurally, it will just fall apart on you.
Freeze it up, it's a whole new treat baby.
That's a solid two thumbs up.
- Of course, this is gonna be a thumbs up for me.
- You're making a strong case
for why not everybody should be allowed to have a microwave.
- Oh God, this does not smell good.
- Did you melt Kraft cheese on a honey bun?
- Why did you ruin my honey bun?
- Like a ton of people have said put a honey bun
in the microwave and heat it up.
Yeah, of course. Of course.
But putting a slice of cheese on it?
Actually, I'm gonna be honest with you.
Part of me feels like I'm gonna enjoy this.
- I do not like Kraft singles.
I think they're basically trash cheese.
- This has mad kid experiments
in the kitchen vibes for me.
- I love honey buns and this hurts my feelings.
It feels yucky in my mouth.
- I don't know if I like it.
- I don't love it.
Well that Walker County in me is really showing right now.
- Okay, good news.
It tastes mostly like honey bun,
but with a little bit of bile.
- I'm open to it.
- You know what this needs? A little can pot of meat.
- I don't like it.
The consistency of the Kraft cheese
made the honey bun wet.
Which, you know, I wasn't really into.
- Yucky. No thanks.
- No more! Why am I still eating this?
- [Man] Why are you still eating it?
Why you ate so much of it if you don't like it?
- You just love a good train wreck.
- This one is gonna be a no for me
because I don't think humanity should do stuff like this.
- I don't know what to say. It's not a thumbs down for me.
I don't know if it's a thumb's... Can it just like?
Yeah. If I'm in the mood for it, sure.
If I'm feeling a little crazy.
- I am going to try a Strawberry Shortcake Roll
that was stuck in the air fryer.
- Honestly, I am not too familiar
with the Strawberry Shortcake Rolls.
Will the hack be a success?
It just depend on how much I enjoy probably what it is now.
- I mean, I guess it's as close as you're gonna get
to deep frying it, which we know would vastly improve it.
Everything, you know?
Answer to all of life's problems
is roll it around in batter and throw it in deep fryer.
- It's good.
It's like melted. It's warm.
- I don't know that this is my favorite Little Debbie treat.
Because, honestly, it's not the texture
that's messing with me,
it's the strawberry flavor
that doesn't taste like strawberry.
- It's kind of weird.
But by giving it a soft interior
and a slightly crunchy exterior,
it's like you elevated this snack.
That strawberry in the middle tastes like the inside
of a warmed up strawberry Pop-Tart.
But it's got that cream in it.
Soft interior, slightly crunchy.
It works.
- It's not great.
There was other stuff that was better.
But this all right. I gotta do a thumbs here.
- I would never ask for this.
I think if you really like this already, sure. Try it.
It's something different.
If you didn't like them,
I don't think this is gonna
make you magically start liking them.
- I think the effort that it takes
to make one of these is not worth the payoff.
Having to stick it in an air fryer and like wait.
Just eat it right outta the package.
You're not missing much.
What do I rate this?
Indifferent. Meh.
Sideways. Partly down
- In conclusion, I feel like a lot of these ideas
were what I said before.
Bored kids stuck in the kitchen
with nothing else to do.
- Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
But Swiss Rolls do taste great out of the freezer.
And Star Crunch and peanut butter,
I think is the surprise winner of today.
- What have we learned today?
You're gonna have to really screw with a Little Debbie
before I won't like it.
I was probably not the best person
to bring in here in hindsight and ask if these were good.
The answer is yeah, they're still a Little Debbie.
So it is probably pretty good.
- Little Debbie, you make a good treat.
And sometimes people on the internet
find ways to make it better.
