Hostess Donettes, Powdered Mini Donuts, 10 oz Bag

The only reason this is a 4 star review is because...........somehow, my donyts qre usually smashed into bits and pueces. Making it difficult to wat them like this due to the crumbs all over the place factor. Somewhere from start to finish, they get smashed. Not all the time but about 50%. I have noticed that the canned cat food, friskies with 32 to 40 cans per box, pretty much always has dented cans inside! Seeing this damage on two oroducts makes me think it most likely happened during initial shipping to the store. Ive seen how they throw boxes in trucks but I dont think your employees had anything to do with it. probably s pallet fell over, more than once. But we still have our opinions and everyone knows the saying about that!

Not sure what is going on at the Hostess plant, but their products seem to have gone down the bean-counter road of saving money via changing ingredients and processes and just don't taste the same anymore. In particular, they are all now slightly off and dry for some unknown reason. I had thought it was just an off-batch sort of thing; but after multiple purchases, it would seem to indicate something more is at work. I absolutely used to love Hostess, but now they are a faded dream of yesteryear. RIP - you will be missed. This is, of course, only my opinion. Your experience may (and hopefully) be different. For instance, some may love the see-through, light-red Hawaiian Punch; but I prefer the old opaque, blood-red version -- which "they" claim is the 'exact recipe'.

I like powdered sugar donuts usually. I ordered 2 bags of Hostess because there was a coupon off 2. They only had 1 bag, and I accepted a substitute for the other bag. I have never had either brand before. I thought at least I could compare them. Surely I would like one of them. I was amazed how equally bad they both were. They were stale, dry, and tasted awful. The taste lingered, in a bad way, for quite a while. I won't buy either kind again. Junk food that tasted artificial, and I will be better off throwing in the trash.

i love these donuts as a go to sweet midnight snack. i bought a 3 pack and unfortunately all 3 packs were definitely going stale and had become hard. i order off the app but from now on i won't so that i can actually feel the bags to check the quality myself. tip for anyone that becomes or is a shopper for the delivery apps. just a thought.

Every time my husband orders Hostess donettes from Walmart the package looks ok but what’s inside is always broken pieces %26 looks like it was passed around like a football. If I order it from a grocery store, example Publix, which is close by always better product. I am including a picture, wished I took it when my husband opened the bag, but I’m sure you get the picture.

I was disappointed to find out that Hostess had produced such a terrible product. Despite having a valid date, still months away, the donuts were incredibly hard and dry, and the flavor was completely off. The Great Value alternative is far superior.

These little donuts used to be my absolute favorite decadence. They used to be soft and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Unfortunately, the last couple of times I've bought them, they were dry and stale. They ended up in the trash. I don't like to throw money away, so I won't buy them again. I shall have to just remember them fondly.

I purchase Hostess Donettes all the time. I will not be buying them anymore. The company has ruined them. They added more fat and increased the calories by 20. They were 230 cal per 3 donuts now it's 250. They don't taste the same and they have a doughy texture.

Hello, I received a box of donuts with a “Best By” date of August 13, 2025. When I went to eat them on September 25, 2025, they were stale. Since the date had already passed, I wanted to bring this to your attention because expired products should not still be in circulation. Thank you for looking into this. Sincerely, [JoeNika]

I did a delivery on this item. I received two bags. I actually ordered great value brand and hostess was substituted. That's okay I like hostess too I just don't want to pay $5 a bad. I could have bought two bags of great value for one bag of hostess. Anyway that is not the point. When I got them inside I was taking my food out of the bag. I ordered seven items. two of them being the donuts. I open up a bag of donuts and they are smashed I'm talking like someone put them on the floor and stepped on them, a few times. So I started to open the other bag and it was already opened. So unfortunately both bags were a mess. So the bag that I opened I went ahead and poured the smashed donuts into a bowl so that my granddaughter could still eat them with the spoon. She thought it was fun. But I thought it was absolutely unacceptable. You don't know if that came from the delivery driver the factory an employee in the store the Uber eats driver that brought it to me.. Like seriously. I took pictures of both bags if anyone wants to see them. The open bag is still on my counter and I plan on returning them when I get out of the house. I have health issues so I can't just up and run when I want to. Pay attention when you receive your food.
