What is it?
Little Debbie’s Snickerdoodle Crème Pie is the newest addition to the product line that includes the classic Oatmeal Crème Pie, beloved by kids and former kids alike. Will these Crème Pies earn a place next to the adored oatmeal variety?
How is it?
The Snickerdoodle Crème Pie is made of two cookies with vanilla crème sandwiched in between. It’s a simple snack, but sometimes the simplest things can be the best.
In this case, it’s just kind of boring. The cookies are soft, cakey, and moderately sweet with cinnamon flavor but lack anything to make them stand out. They’re not rolled in cinnamon sugar like a normal snickerdoodle but have cinnamon bits that add textural interest. They’re unevenly distributed, though, being completely absent from some cookies. The vanilla crème is inoffensive when eaten with the cookies but also doesn’t bring much excitement. When eaten alone, it leaves a waxy residue, like bad cake frosting.
Anything else you need to know?
I was shocked at how tiny these are. The Oatmeal Crème Pies I eat are much larger, and it sent me down Google hole to find out what was going on. It turns out there are actually two Oatmeal Crème Pie sizes commonly available. The large is often marked for individual sale and seen in convenience stores, and the smaller can be seen in multipacks at grocery stores. The Snickerdoodle Crème Pies seem even smaller than those. What I’m saying is that if your preferred size is the Triple Decker Oatmeal Crème Pie, you should plan on eating several of these.
Conclusion:
These are serviceable yet unremarkable cookies. Those who love snickerdoodle cookies might love them, but others will probably find them unexciting.

I’m still going to try them, because I LOVE snickerdoodle cookies. When I saw the headline, I was like, “Yes!”. But the review sounds disappointing. Hopefully, my tastes are better aligned to these.
“I was shocked at how tiny these are.”
Little Debbie has definitely been shrinking all their offerings over the last couple of years. I got some Raisin Creme Pies a couple of weeks back and they easily fit inside the palm of my hand (they use to just hit the beginning of my fingers). Quite frankly it feels like a ripoff buying them now.
This review has me questioning my childhood. I was under the impression that the oatmeal pies and raisin pies had different filling! My mind has told me this whole time that this snickerdoodle pie was going to be a variant of the raisin ones (thinner/fluffier creme), not oatmeal(thicker/icing-texure)!
I’ll still buy a box, because I’m a sucker for snickerdoodle.
Jess i definitely would like to sample these before i purchse. Little Debbie’s have been a part of my life wver since i was little there has never been a disappointment with any of there snacks . If i could sample and review that would be awesome .
