Expired Product
Purchased 4 boxes online for a pickup order. We received our order and all 4 boxes were past the best by day. One box had a best by date of January 3, 2026. This is unacceptable. I never buy these items and purchased for a cute idea for a hockey themed birthday party.

Do not have this product shipped
Past best by date. After opening one I saw that the return date does matter. Very old dried out and whitened on top. Also crusty on top. Target will not do exchange or return.

Not the same
These are not how they used to be. They replaced the metal wrapper with plastic, there is hardly any filling, the cake part tasted odd and there is very little outer icing. It was such a disappointment.

Won't buy again!
Smaller size. Different recipe. Taste odd. Several mashed. This was one of my favorite years ago. Now, it tastes like someone trying to make a copycat version of the original.

Not too good
I was so excited to get these because they reminded me of when I was a kid. They don't taste the same anymore. They have a weird artificial taste.
