Review & Release History of Taco Bell Dulce de Leche Delights, Annie’s Birthday Cake Grahams & More

Review

These have quite a noticeable powdery feel and texture, which does help its proclaimed funfetti cake, kind of making it feel like you’re eating a powdery sugary cake frosting. But of course, it’s definitely not that sweet!

For a Chex-covered treat, these are actually pretty sweet! You get a little bit of that typical Corn Chex taste, but it’s mostly overshadowed by a sweet mix of vanilla and birthday cake flavors. While I don’t think the flavor of the Chex helps much, it does at least help in the texture department by contrasting with the soft powdery composition on the outside.

Definitely give these a go if you like birthday cake or sweet vanilla-flavored treats!

Release Date

While I can’t find an exact release date, reviews date back to November 2023. Found in mid-August on Amazon.

These Chex have a light powdery dusting of Cinnadust. Well, it feels light, but the taste—wow, it feels like they were generous! It genuinely tastes like I’m eating a Cinnamon Toast Crunch-flavored piece of Chex, but even better because the coating on the outside gives it a pleasantly soft feel and coats your mouth!

Basically, this is if Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Chex had a kid, but most importantly, it kept all the sweetness of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and then some!

If you’re as much of a Cinnamon Toast Crunch fan as I am, get these! They’re sweet and authentic, and I bet you’ll finish a bag before you know it!

One last thought: I still preferred the original Cinnamon Toast Crunch simply because I prefer the texture of those over these, as well as CTC having that iconic background taste of a buttery graham cracker—which here was unfortunately replaced by a plain piece of Chex!

Released early 2025. Found in mid-August on Amazon.

For a Chex, this is quite flavorful. There’s a pretty good amount of powdered sugar on these and a super thin layer of chocolate right beneath it. It’s crunchy, powdery, and well, tasty!

Truth be told, this is mostly powdery and sugary-tasting with a mild, light, dark chocolate, and cream-like flavor. It’s a pretty decent rendition of Oreo, as it’s pretty sweet, though the chocolate isn’t quite as strong or bold as its cookie counterpart. Still, as I said, the flavors of Oreo are somewhat represented here—if you blindfolded me, I might have even accurately guessed this is an Oreo-based treat (or at the very least, a cookies and cream one)!

If you want to experience a powdery, almost Oreo-tasting Chex, give these a go! At minimum, it’s a pretty good cookies and cream treat!

Release Date

Released around May 2025. Found in mid-August on Amazon.

Review

Imagine a piece of Chex that’s coated in a melted York or Junior Mint—this is exactly that! It’s chocolatey and pepperminty (or minty—I can’t see a huge difference here) and genuinely tastes like those candies but with a crunch. Also to note, there really isn’t any powdered sugar on these like many of the other Chex Snack Mixes; it seems to be a mix of powdered sugar and thick chocolate instead.

So, if you like peppermint and minty treats, especially sweet ones, these are good and worth a shot.

Release Date

Released early-mid March 2024. Found at Speedway mid-August 2025.

Review

No dulce de leche to be found here, let alone anything similar like caramel. This is simply a sugary sweet ball of dough with a gooey inside. And just like a fried piece of dough, the outside is crunchy and the inside is soft, and the filling is even softer, providing a pleasantly moist goo.

Back to the flavor—it’s not dulce de leche; it’s just sugar with an essence of cinnamon and, of course, your typical fried dough. It’s weird because the filling is supposed to be dulce de leche, but it doesn’t at all taste like it—what happened?

Anyway, they’re decent enough, though with a sugary cinnamon piece of fried dough, these would greatly benefit from some frosting or sweet sauce.

Release Date

Released July 31, 2025. Found early August 2025.

Review

I feel like these want to be a cereal, and you know what, they’d make for a pretty good one at that. It’s surprisingly sweeter than I thought—it’s not a huge sugar hit; it more so falls around moderately sweet. This also helps its vanilla taste—yes, I said vanilla, not birthday cake.

The texture is soft, a bit thick, and lightly crunchy. It doesn’t have a snappy crunch; it’s more so quite soft, which is something I enjoyed. Additionally, it doesn’t feel cheap or too airy like some other crunchy cookies.

Aside from the false advertisement of birthday cake flavor, I found these mini cookies to be pretty good. It’s a fairly sweet vanilla; the texture is good enough, and really, that’s about it. They’d likely pair well with some frosting or maybe even be used as a topping.

Release Date

While I can’t find an exact release date, reviews date back to April 2020. Found in mid-August on Amazon.

Review

It’s got the bold pumpkin spice smell and taste, that’s for sure, not to mention a notable and creamy milk chocolate, which sits alongside it nicely. You can really get a feel for the cinnamon, nutmeg, and other traditionally nuanced pumpkin spice flavors. However, would I call it a latte though? Not really; I don’t really get that coffee-latte flavor, unfortunately, though it’s partly made of a reasonably creamy chocolate in and of itself.

Still, these, in my opinion, while decent, aren’t a second buy in my eyes unless you’re really into pumpkin spice. I’m also not the biggest fan of the texture—it has a hard-ish soft truffle mouthfeel—I’d simply prefer something with a much softer inside instead of something uniformly semi-hard like these. I guess that’s why they call these nuggets instead of truffles!

Release Date

Released some time in July 2025. Found at CVS mid-August 2025.

Review

What I get is about 70% salty pretzel and the rest a sugary blueberry flavor. If you’re into that type of ratio, great! Unfortunately, I prefer something with a thicker cream and a more pronounced cream flavor—pretzel taking front row seat isn’t my thing.

I’m also disappointed the cream on these is so thin. The bright side is that the sugary blueberry flavor is more on the candy-like side—not too artificial or weird by any means, but what I mean is that it’s a sugary sweet candy blueberry taste. I like it; I just wish there was more of it!

Release Date

Released January 2025 exclusively to 7-Eleven stores. Found at Speedway mid-August 2025.

Review

I did not expect the cake to be this good! It’s moist and fairly thick and, at the same time, thin because it’s wrapped around filling. It feels very light but also fulfilling—kind of giving me the impression of a pound cake mixed with a crepe—I know, weird, but an interestingly delightful composition nonetheless.

The overall flavor is between mild to moderately sweet, with a very, very light apricot taste from the filling alongside buttery goodness from the cake. It’s a pleasant combination that is sure to appease most people! However, while I did enjoy these, my taste buds simply prefer something more bold and sweeter!

Lastly, just to note, these are all individually wrapped!
