These things suck
Butterscotch? Where? Nearly no flavor. Cake is all wrong now too. These were my favorite as a kid and I just bought a box for my kids to enjoy, but no more after this.

Used to be my favorite
These used to be so amazing. They were my favorite. I recently was craving them so I bought a box. They are significantly smaller. The cake seems drier. And the icing isnt as sweet. It doesn’t even stick to the plastic like it used to. I still enjoy them but just wondering when the recipe changed.

SMALLER PIECES
Were my favorite of all your products. Enjoyed them for 50 plus years. They are definitely smaller than before, but taste is average now. Still giving them another try !

What a disappointment
Butterscotch Krimpets were always my favorite Tastykake, ever since I was about 5 year old (I’m 73). I had even introduced my youngest son to them and made them a special treat. Decided to have one this afternoon after not having one for a long time. What a HUGE disappointment, both in puny size and chemical flavor. Along with my childhood, this most favored treat is forever lost.

Changed for the worst
Used to absolutely love these. Now there is not a butterscotch flavor. They are smaller and have way less frosting as well, and every company is doing that, but to remove the actual FLAVORING of a product?? Lost another customer, they're not even worth a single dollar per box to me now.

What a rip off
Its been a while, tasty cake in our area never goes on sale. I decided to buy a box of these and OMG! The size has been cut in half, and the icing (I used to be able to peel it off and double up on one it was so thick) now its barely on there. Prices are so high, and your quality has gotten horrible. The pies taste like processed garbage now. What once was, is never again. Its ashame you sold out just like everyone else. I noticed, and I won't give my money anymore. So many others told me about the downgrade as well.

Sad decline
I've lived my entire 71+ years in suburban Philadelphia and have wonderful memories of Butterscotch Krimpets having a very soft sponge cake and very creamy icing. Today's product is a far cry from what they were. They are smaller which is disappointing, but the cake and icing are so disappointing if, like me, you had them when they were as the should be. Tastykake, you need to start over and simply do what you once did with the Krimpets. Nearly half the reviews are strongly negative and your repeat business must reflect this.

They USED to be the best
I grew up in PA, always loved the Krimpets, and since then I've been able to get them when myself or someone else went to PA, or a local store got them somehow. But last two times I've gotten them, they are smaller, less icing, and greasy! I'm not getting them anymore. Sorry end to an era.

I will no longer be purchasing tasty cake products. It's so small that it's a joke. Over priced. Lost another long term customer way to go tasty cake. Over 40 years.

My childhood is officially ruined 😠
OK, so that may be dramatic, but it is how I feel. Butterscotch krimpets used to remind me of sneaking them out of my grandparents’ snack drawer in New Jersey when I was growing up. Now they’re small and the little bit of waxy icing doesn’t even cover the whole thing. It’s not worth having them anymore. I would bet most people who eat Tastykake butterscotch krimpets have been eating them, their whole lives and attribute them to the nostalgia of their childhood in some way. I’m sure I’m not the only one who is feeling like I was wishing I could have my nostalgia back. I would gladly pay more to have the old recipe back.

Not the same
Butterscotch Krimpets for this Philly girl had been my favorite since I was a little girl. My great aunt used to send them and other tastykakes in a care package when I was in basic training for the Army. Today they are a memory because they do not taste or look the same. The cake is too firm and the Butterscotch is thin and oily. What happened to that fresh taste I remember? Very disappointed.

Why are the Krimpets half the size they used to be and more expensive. Never buying again.

What happened?
I grew up with TastyKakes and LOVED them. Now, they are so much smaller, they taste different, and have less frosting. That was the best part! I read a book in my class and it had a part about Butterscotch Krimpets. I wanted them to enjoy those beloved snacks. I had second graders whose fingers were longer than the cakes! It wasn’t that was for me as a teen! My class as well as my family were very let down and disappointed. Please go back to the original recipe and size! Now I’m afraid to try my favorite, KandyKakes.

Butterscotch Krimpets
No more tastycake products for me. The krimpets have gotten so small there isn’t enough for a snack for a child. If your goal is profit margin, factor in all your newly lost customers

Very disappointed
I recently bought the butterscotch krimpets. I was very disappointed. They are much smaller, and the cake tasted doughy, almost gummy like it wasn’t baked fully. This is a shame because they used to be one of my favorite snack cakes.
