I grew up in Philly and Tasty Kake was what I ran to the the corner store for instead of penny candy growing up. Of course it was not a penny! Tasty Kakes has changed over the years and the cakes are smaller and don't taste nearly as good as they use too! Read more ! But they still beat out little debbies in taste and value. I use to live in California and these little gems were hard to come by. My family use to ship them to me. But now they are pretty easy to come by. This was the closest I use to get to them and actually like this better now. See less

I made these the other day and every time I looked in the fridge, there was another row gone.LOL:o) They were so good. My daughter commented on how unusual they were with the soft yet chewy cake on the bottom and the hard crunch of the chocolate coating on top and the surprise creamy peanut butter in between. Will be making these again and again. Thanks again.
