It would have been easy to put the beloved vanilla Christmas Tree Cakes in the top spot based on pure nostalgia alone. However, these newer Snowflake Brownies are by far the most beautiful and best-tasting holiday treat of the bunch. It all begins with Little Debbie's classic fudge brownie base, in a unique, hexagonal shape. On top, you get a decent layer of snow-white icing, a sparkle of blue sugar crystals, and a splendid stamped snowflake. The box of five brownies includes a variety of snowflake designs — they're not all the same!

Comparing the snowflake brownies to the tree brownies in flavor, the snowflakes are exceedingly more enjoyable. The distinction definitely stems from the different color icings and decorations. While the green trees tasted artificial, the white snowflakes were fudgy-rich and semi-homemade-level delicious. Unwrapped and with the box tossed to recycling, you could easily pass these brownies off as bakery-bought at your next holiday party. I also love that their wintry looks are not just for celebrating Christmas. I'm thinking of stashing a box in the freezer for that surprise late-season snow that always hits in March or April.
