When I think of the brownies from my childhood, two brands immediately come to mind: Entenmann's Little Bites Mini Fudge Brownies and Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies. Both brands were staples in my house growing up, but I haven’t had them since I was a child! I decided to take a trip down memory lane and try them after 15 years to see if they still match up to what I remember.
Entenmann's Little Bites Mini Fudge Brownies
From what I remembered; Entenmann's Little Bites Mini Fudge Brownies were a great snack for sharing. They're small enough that you can enjoy them in one sitting, but there’s also enough in one package to share if you’re eating with friends. The brownies are moist and fudgy, with a rich chocolate flavor.
And now for the taste test…
Pros:
- Moist and fudgy
- Rich chocolate flavor
- Delicious chocolate ganache topping
Cons:
- Can be a bit messy to eat because they are crumbly
- Not as chewy as some other brownies
Give them a try for yourself and let me know how it goes:

And now for the taste test…
Pros:
- Chewy texture
- Fun colored candy topping that adds a crunch
- Convenient individual serving size

Cons:
- Not as fudgy as some other brownies
