Reviewing Whole Foods 365 Strawberry Passion Fruit Sandwich Cremes, Richfield Walnut Soft Candy, & More

This is such a pleasant treat; it’s just not really for me. They’re all individually wrapped and on the thinner side. Flavor-wise, it’s a light walnut with a hint of sugar. The brown goo that connects it all together is chewy, like a super thick, dried, syrupy paste without the stickiness. Overall, it’s really not at all sweet, has a bit of a nutty flavor, is chewy, and is unoffending.

I’m not sure when this was released. Found at Ocean State Job Lot.

Wow, that smell! The intense scent of passion fruit reeks of perfume and nearly makes me gag! Biting in, it’s more tame, offering a sweet, sugary, passion fruit-like flavor without the typical bitterness that normally comes with the fruit. If I had to compare the sweetness to another cookie, it would be an Oreo, and honestly, it might even be sweeter than those!

Texture-wise, it’s like an Oreo. Crunchy outside cookie with a soft creme center that houses all the sweetness and flavor. Overall, I wouldn’t call these “refreshing”; instead, “only eat these if you want a super sweet, unique fruity cookie you can’t find anywhere else.”

I cannot find a release date for this.

Not great, not terrible; at least they’re kind of cute, though. Each one has a little drizzle on it with what looks to be embedded pieces of sugary cinnamon grits. And, indeed, biting in, they’re soft, slightly chewy, and nearly melt in your mouth because of how small and soft they are. Flavor-wise, it matches a cinnamon roll’s flavor profile—cinnamon minus the sweetness of the large dollop of icing on it. Overall, it is moderately sweet, cinnamony, and sugary, with an occasional light crunch from the cinnamon pieces.

Interestingly, heating these up didn’t help much. The texture became too soft, and both the flavor and texture felt more artificial.

Released late March 2025. Found at Walmart.

I can’t spot a single difference between these and their regular vanilla cupcakes. The flavor is clearly vanilla, not birthday cake. Not to mention, the embedded sprinkles are nothing more than decoration! Still, it’s moist, dense, and sweet, and it’s overall a creamy vanilla cake. Yum!

As a side note, I love these better chilled or frozen! They feel more dense and like an actual, premium, sweet vanilla cake.

Released November 2019. Found at Stop & Shop.

Holy moly, this might be the moistest cake I’ve ever had! Compared to Aldi’s other cakes, like the chocolate one, this is even more moist! From the outside to the inside, it almost feels wet, but in a good way! It’s so, so soft and has a sugary sweet, light lemony taste without any punchiness. The sugary glaze and yellow frosting on top add an immediate addition to the sweetness, although it’s only surface level as it’s quite thin. Speaking of only surface level, the streusel doesn’t really add much–perhaps a few super light, crunchy bits? Eh. Anyway, overall, if you want a sweet, extremely moist, light-lemony cake, this is it!

Released around late March 2025.

These are all individually wrapped Twizzler-like things, except the texture is so different. It’s harder but also soft and not all that chewy, so you can basically bite right through its soft-hard texture. The texture is genuinely difficult to explain, and it’s really different from anything I’ve ever tried! Flavor-wise, it’s decently sweet with an apricot-like taste with some other fruit. I don’t vibe with the taste much; it’s kind of boring, and along with the odd, hard-soft texture, it just isn’t my thing.

Likely released in late March 2025 for the Easter season.

There are two different types of cookies here, but they’re more or less the same. One is shaped like an Easter egg and has a chocolate coating all around it with a bucket load of noticeably crunchy round sprinkles, and the other is a bunny with only one side of chocolate coating with no sprinkles. Obviously, I definitely prefer the crunchy, extra chocolatey Easter egg cookie, but they’re very close.

Overall, they’re semi-thin and have a light, soft crunch with a plain cookie-biscuit flavor. Both of them have a thin, moderately sweet milk chocolate coating that paints most of the flavor. Since the coating is thin, the overall sweetness is pretty toned down, but it is still pretty good and would be perfect for the average person. They don’t feel cheap, nor do they feel premium; they are just your average chocolate cookies you might find in a tin or gift box.

While I’m not sure of an exact release date, reviews date back to around March 2024 for the Easter season. I found these in early April 2025.
