Sweetly measured copycats round 2

The Lineup: From Lunchbox Legends to Candy Counter Favorites

We’ve tackled everything from the fluffy snack cakes of the 90s to the crunchy candy bars you thought you’d never taste again. Here is what we’re swapping this week:

• heavenly hunks : We’ve recreated those perfectly poppable oatmeal cookies and made them better— plus Less refined sugar and without it the price tag!

• Entenmann’s Donuts: These rich, cakey chocolate-frosted donuts actually melt in your mouth without the gritty texture of store-bought GF alternatives.

• Oatmeal Creme Pies: Think chewy, spiced oatmeal cookies sandwiched with a cloud-like marshmallowy fluff.

• Brown Sugar Pop-Tarts: A flaky pastry crust with that signature cinnamon-sugar bite and a smooth glaze on top.

• Zebra Cakes: The ultimate nostalgia—yellow snack cakes with cream filling and those iconic chocolate stripes.

• Butterfinger Bars: We finally nailed that “crispy, crunchy, peanut-buttery” texture—minus the gluten!

Why Homemade is the Real Winner

Aside from being 100% gluten-free, making these at home allows you to skip the high-fructose corn syrup and artificial preservatives. Plus, there is something incredibly satisfying about biting into a Zebra Cake that you know was made with real, high-quality ingredients.
