Nothing of tastykake is the same. You must think we are stupid and can’t tell all recipes have been changed. The trumpets are absolutely disgusting. The peanut butter candy cakes taste nothing like they did. And so on. All to save a buck you charge enough for this and this is what you give us. No more ever again you can keep that box of preservatives.

Today’s version is nothing like the original Butterscotch Krimpets which were actually delicious. Took a bite today and I was so disappointed; the fluffy cake I remember from my youth has been replaced with a dry, dense textured brick; the frosting has no flavor and is overly sweet. Tastycake ruined a favorite.

Just got a box of the Butterscotch Krimpets with the Halloween themed packaging and was blown away by how bad they were. Reading these reviews from a year ago mirrored my experience today. Small dense cake about half the size of what I expected and remembered. Wet and thin icing, expecting the thick ribbon of icing that used to be able to be pulled off in one piece. Very disappointed, these used to be my favorite treat, when did you decide to make these absolutely terrible? Maybe you need to take a look at the picture on the box and make them like that again!

These have gotten way smaller, and less taste

I've loved Krimpets since the 1970's but I've noticed within the past year their size has shrunk considerably. And there is less butterscotch taste. They've always stood out to me from all the chocolate & vanilla snacks because of their unique butterscotch taste but these now just taste like sugary cake. It was a good 50 year run but I'm done with these.

I’m super super upset, how tiny these have gotten it’s theft. Making you pay more, but giving you less. I’m actually shocked by how much they’re giving you now and it seems like the butterscotch flavor is gone.

grew up in philly and ate tastycakes every day. Moved to Ohio and just had my first butterscotch crimpet in 6 months. It sucks!!! Cake is much smaller and denser. Icing taste sweeter. Hate it. Way to screw up a Philly tradition.

I haven't had krimpets (my favorite) for some time. When the market had a buy-one-get-one-free display in front of the entrance, I couldn't resist. Upon opening the first pack, I found the thick butterscotch icing was replaced by a thin foamy cream-like substance. It is so thin that most of it stuck to the plastic wrapper. I am stuck with two boxes of thumb-sized blocks of cake with no topping.

We bought a box of butterscotch krimpets as a treat, what a surprise to find the cost went up and the cakes went in size. C'mon Tastykake, what gives? That was a terrible idea. Bring us back the full size krimpets that we all know and love! My family has been enjoying all tastykake treats for as long as I can remember. Even have our Long Island daughter-in-law looking for them when they come to visit.
Where is the icing?

Childhood favorite- treated myself to a box today … I am so disappointed and disgusted all at once. Cakes seem smaller - ok fine. But the icing is thin as I’ve ever seen it! The holes in the top of the cake show through. When did this happen? When did we loose the thick, rich icing? Profits over quality? I’m not buying this anymore - I’m very disappointed. Still tastes good - just not the same.
