Little Debbie, the beloved bakery snack brand, has recently unveiled its latest creation: the Nutty Buddy Cake. This new offering marries the brand’s signature fluffy cakes with its well-known Nutty Buddy bars. The exciting announcement was first shared on April 4 by popular snack influencer @markie_devo on Instagram, confirming that this delectable treat is on its way.
According to a report from All Recipes dated April 10, the Nutty Buddy Cakes are set to become available at retailers during the week of May 11. Each pack will contain 10 individually wrapped cakes, providing a convenient option for fans to enjoy these new snacks.
Features of Little Debbie’s Nutty Buddy Cakes
Little Debbie has a long-standing history with its Nutty Bars, which were first introduced in 1959, predating the formal establishment of the brand itself. This latest launch follows the success of Nutty Buddy Creme Pies—soft-baked chocolate-coated peanut butter cookies filled with creamy peanut butter—which also reflects the brand’s commitment to innovation in flavor.
Hints about the new Nutty Buddy Cakes emerged early, with a teaser post from food Instagrammer @sanckolater on March 27. Shortly afterward, @markie_devo confirmed the product’s arrival, sharing an official image from the brand and further igniting excitement among fans.
In the April 10 All Recipes report, Erica Cunningham, the product manager for Little Debbie, provided insight into the brand’s approach, stating:
“Shoppers are looking for new ways to enjoy their go-to flavor combinations. Big Pack Nutty Buddy Cakes deliver just that—a soft, cake-style snack with all the peanut butter and chocolate flavor fans expect from the Nutty Buddy name.”
These new cakes offer a delightful combination of soft sponge cake, creamy peanut butter filling, and a thin chocolate frosting, accented by subtle vanilla notes that enhance the overall flavor profile.
