   They look just awful. Thanks for reviewing them, so I don’t need to search them out at the store. Why would anyone need cupcake bites? They’re sure not cakepops!

   I’ve only seen these available AT the movies, oddly. We purchased a box a couple months ago (see my link). They definitely aren’t something I’d ever eat a whole box of in one setting, but they weren’t bad. VERY sweet, more like frosting than cake.

   To amuse myself, I actually baked some IN cupcakes, then garnished each cupcake with one on top.

   I got these at dollar general a little bit ago. I am OBSESSED with cupcakes so natch, I picked them up. Haven’t tried them yet, a little afraid to. Maybe now I’ll pop them open and see.

   i’m actually really surprised they didn’t push these out for SSE11… they had 8 zillion other varieties. unless i didn’t see them, which seems unlikely as i’m pretty sure these might glow in the dark.

   but like i said on twitter… i’d still eat them.  sometimes i shock even myself.

   I think I would still try them for curiosities sake. I like cake and cupcakes though as long as they’re good. One sad result of the trend is tasteless cupcakes with heaps of stiff unappealing frosting on top.

   For all the promise of Cookie Dough Bites, I found them really disappointing.  I wouldn’t try these for that reason.

   And I still don’t understand the whole cupcake fetish everyone seems to have right now.

   Wow! Thanks for this frank review. What an interesting/bizarre product. And I love Heather’s idea to bake them IN cupcakes—hilarious!

   Have you tried the Cinnamon Roll bites by the same people?  Oh, man, gross.  I love the Cookie Dough Bites, and felt like Cinnamon Roll bites had the potential to be blissful…no, no, no.

    Correction: Cinnamon BUN bites…there’s a butt/bun/yucky taste related joke in there somewhere, but I’ll leave it alone.

    Kimberly - I have the Cinnamon Bun Bites - I was going to review them on Friday. My initial thoughts are that they’re not as bad as the Cupcake Bites. But that’s hardly an endorsement.

    @TheCandyFan, they did have these at SSE11 & I sampled them there. 

    They weren’t as scary as I expected, but still not a great product.

    These were on sale for $1.25 at the 99 Cent store?

    I tried these last night and they are so awful! They taste literally like I threw up in my mouth.

    My friend bought me a box of these as a bit of a novelty stocking-filler, as I’m an avid baker. We go the cinema a lot, so she suggested this was what she had bought them for. We’re going tonight, so I thought I best try one last night, just incase I didn’t like them so I wasn’t stuck with a whole box of them in the cinema. I’m glad I did; they are absolutely revolting! I must admit, I was worried when I saw the first listed ingredients was “white birthday cake”, and even more so when I saw that the coating was described as “white kreemy coating”; it seems like a bad sign when the makers deem the colour more important than the flavour! But I wasn’t expecting them to be SO bad! Strange hard sweet but flavourless coating, while the “cupcake” centre is more like a strange partially-cooked cookie dough, with a very odd texture and even odder flavour. And don’t get me started on how they look…

    I think there the best candies ive ever tasted and that goes for all the bites every single one.and why do you do this candy was made for kids anyways and kids don’t come on here your only telling the moms and fathers and everything I’m saying is coming from my 11 year old and shes right If your child likes a certain candy let them eat it don’t take it away because some random lady on the Internet told you something we all have differing taste buds so only listen to what you think you should do your the mothers and fathers not here so if she says there not good they taste bad go with your gut and ill be doing it with you so your not alone so say. Good by to those online people and go with your gut and I’m telling you the truth 100%:)

    You don’t have to be a dick about it. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion but stating that they’re disgusting and acting like they’re just the spawn of satan himself makes some people who might like them not want to try them. I personally LOVE them.

    I tried these once, thinking hey, they might be alright. The look of the ones I purchased weren’t this bad, they were white colored balls covered in solid round sprinkles. Boy, was I disappointed. The initial flavor was good, but the aftertaste was literally like vomit.
