I got a pack of PB KandyKakes for Christmas. Yes,so... They were great,about like they were before Tasty Baking moved,etc., but a little smaller.The "chocolate flavored coating" is better than it had been for a while and the cake was moist. Things got too dry for a while,so I stopped buying them. Much improved. The coating needs a tweak to get back to the glory days.FWIW, I ate them right out of the fridge, THE ONLY WAY from now on.

I am guessing due to high costs, the company decided to make these smaller. Also, there is less chocolate on top. Not the same as years ago

Taste Different But Overall Still Decent

I've always been a huge fan of Tastykake Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes but, in my opinion, they taste slightly and palpably different than they tasted to me back in the 70s and 80s. The sponge cake to me has a very light textured taste, whereas years ago it tasted a little heavier and even sweeter. The chocolate that enrobed the Peanut Butter Kakes was neater looking back in the 70s and 80s too--like it was a perfect mold. Now it looks like it was dipped in chocolate by hand. I've noticed too that the chocolate underneath the Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes does not cover the entire cake--it almost looks like the chocolate melted, but they can't all be melted; they even appear that way in the cooler months. As with everything, prices have gone up for basic ingredients since the pandemic struck 4 years ago, but the quality of these Kakes is still decent. They're just not as "tasty" as I remember them back in my heyday of the 70s and 80s.

I am 77 years old and have been eating Tastykake Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes since I was 11 years old. It was my most favorite snack. I still eat them even though they have become difficult due to the chocolate coating becoming vary soft and sticky for about the past year. When opening the cellophane pack and sliding them out the chocolate sticks to the package. I thought maybe if I put them in the refrigerator it would not happen but to my surprise it still stuck to the package and was soft enough to stick to my hands. It seems very strange this problem has not been noticed and corrected when it has been happening for at least a year on every purchase I have made.

The ones I've purchased over the last month or so are terrible. The peanut butter layer is not the same and I hate it. It's as if someone put a huge wet blob of regular peanut butter straight from a jar on top. I know it sounds weird, but I don't particularly care for peanut butter. I do eat things that have peanut butter that remind me of my childhood and these have always been included, but since they changed the peanut butter that no longer applies. They just don't taste the same anymore.

Timeless taste is gone

Have been buying Tandy Takes for decades. Loved them. Just bought 2 boxes, and had to throw them out as I literally gagged on the product. Let’s not talk about the massive change in size, just the ingredients. It’s now “chocolate coating”…and bad coating at that. Grainy, super sweet, so artificial tasting. Even the peanut butter tastes different, and not in a good way. I am actually saddened and so disappointed that a lifelong (I am 78) treat has been so modified, obviously in cost crunching moves. The change is NOT subtle…and certainly NOT good. Will never buy these again or any TastyKake product as I suspect they have changed all their products in a negative tasting way.

They decided to replace the chocolate coating with "chocolate covered coating" and it tastes terrible. It was a good snack while it lasted. RIP

Tandykakes were mom's favourite. Feeling nostalgic around the holidays, I thought I'd get a box. What a disappointment. They are soooooo small. Maybe the size of an Oreo (although maybe they're smaller too now). And DRY. They used to be dense but with enough moisture that almost made them like biting a fresh piece of Wonder bread. It's the first box I've bought in the 6 years since her passing and I won't be buying them again. No memories flowed from eating these disks of shame. Your shrinkflation and ingredient corner-cutting has really diminished the quality. Which will eventually hit your bottom line.

I've been eating peanut butter tasty cakes for many years. Just made a recent purchase and with the new changes that were made these things are horrible I am done will not be eating them anymore. Seeking out a better alternative. Why you mess with these who knows? If it was a save money why didn't you just leave them the same and raise the price? Never again unless you change back to the way they were originally made.

I just bought peanut butter cakes and they were like the size of a half dollar. Why not just make them the original size. Never buying them again. None of their products! They have shrunk everything down. Nothing like cutting corners. Nice job!

They must have changed the recipe because they just aren’t the same anymore. The cake is dry inside. Peanut butter and chocolate are EXTREMELY BLAND. These used to be my favorite cakes. What happened to them?!?! At this rate you might as well 86 then!

Just bought a box of peanut butter kandykakes. What a disappointment. First, 90 calories per cake? What a joke! Of course it's only 90 calories - have you seen how SMALL the cakes are? I guess they had to make them smaller to compete with the 100-calorie snack bags so that they ca advertise "only 90 calories". Lastly, the quality of the cake and peanut butter have really gone downhill. But the prices keep going up!!!

My boyfriend and I just finished eating a peanut butter Kandy Kake and found it to be dry, less peanut butter, and almost tasteless. Very disappointing, since we always loved them.
Eating these for years -- quality is inconsistent

In last last year or so, sometimes when I buy a box (two months ago), the cake is light and fluffy, and last for weeks staying fresh and delicious - 5 star product. But other times when I buy a box 8/2/23, the cake is heavy and tastes stale. Can't eat these when they are like this. Something is not right. Hopefully Tastykake and figure this out because it is a great product.

I have been eating these peanut butter kandykakes for over 60 years (in the PA area). Luckily they are now in my neighborhood. Two 2 packs a day make my week.
