Raise your hand if you grew up with Little Debbie snack cakes and treats in your pantry. For folks living here in Wilmington, they were a staple at most houses. For more than 60 years, this brand has not only stood the test of time. It has also become iconic. If you could only have one of these snacks, which would it be? According to research, Delawareans have a love affair with this Little Debbie treat, Delaware’s Favorite Little Debbie is the Fudge Round.

Fudge Rounds are also America’s favorite Little Debbie treat.  Chicco established the rankings with data obtained from Google Trends. First, they compiled a list of 56 Little Debbie snacks. Next, they looked at the number of searches for the snacks in each state over the past 12 months. Finally, they determined the most popular snack using the search data.

Each year Little Debbie releases a number of limited edition holiday treats. The white Christmas Tree Cakes are perhaps the most iconic. They also come chocolate covered. In addition, there are the green frosted Christmas Tree Brownies. Other holiday treats include:

  • Christmas Gingerbread Cookies
  • Christmas Cherry Cordial
  • North Pole Nutty Buddy Wafer Bars
  • Snowflake Brownies

In fact, these seasonal Christmas treats ranked quite high in a few states. The Christmas Tree Cake is the most often searched for treat in the southern states of Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina. This is the one that has white cake, a white coating that is highlighted with a red garland frosting design. The cake is then made complete by green sprinkles.
