Oct 30, 2025 Β· 7:40

Summary

Darnell takes on Hostess SnoBalls and admits right from the jump that he absolutely hates coconut. Yeah, you read that right. The Louisville chef breaks down the pink marshmallow cakes with his signature three-category scorecards, giving nutrition an F thanks to 42% daily value of added sugar, but rewarding taste with a generous C++ because the moisture and bounce actually surprised him. At under a dollar per cake, the price gets an eight. His real talk about sugar and salt killing communities while still giving props where props are due? That's pure SuperChef.

All right

So, on this episode of Super Shepard Supermarket, we're going to the Hostess with the Mostesses

I told you we're doing snacks

So, we going to see these new Hostess Snowballs

All of the Big Macs across America has asked us to try these out

So, let's get into the kitchen

I don't know what the nutrition

going to be like, but let's go ahead and taste them. [music] All right

So, we are back in the kitchen

Super Shepard Supermarket people and today we have the hostess with the mostess

We were going to try their snowballs

This I don't know if this is new or not but man all the big

backs was DMing me about these

They said Super Chef you got to do them

You just got to Everyone's talking about them

This is like this remind me of Baby D from uh was it Next Friday all the new stuff for [music] come out you know like this is that right here

Coconut and marshmallow covered

chocolate cake with creamy filling

M m

Well, let's see what we got here

Let's see what these things look like

So, you get How many you getting in a pack? It's like [music] six, but it look like more than six

Six individually wrapped cakes

That's not right

It's impossible

Looks like way more than

sixes inside of here

No, they they know what they doing

It's six

I'm trying to tell them what they got

So, they look like this

They're super soft

I mean, [music] like a marshmallow bounce back to you

Um, let's talk about how they talk that talk

You know, that's the what they

brag about on the box

Um, and don't really have much positive

This is the part where people say all their nutritional benefits, everything they want to let you know about made in America, whatever you want to say

You know what I'm saying? I want to promote the product based on what the product

[music] says

Um, and this one doesn't say much

So, hey, it is what it is

Sometimes it's good

Uh, let's get right to it, man

Let's go

Let's go

I'm going to go to nutrition first this time and then I'm going to go to taste

I like taste to be last

I know people really came to see what it tastes like.

But um nutrition 180 calories per cake snowball per snowball

Um positives total carbohydrates 11%. [music] That's a win

That is a win

Uh until you keep going down in the carbohydrates [music] and it says 42% of your daily value off this little tiny amount of cake or snowball of your

sugar

Added sugar. added sugar

Stay away from it, people

Stay stay far away from it

Um, so I I won't get into nothing else

That's enough as far as that goes

Um, sugar and salt are killing my community. [music] So, uh, when it comes to things killing the community, I like to stay

away from as much as possible or just doing a moderation

That's really a problem

It's just overdoing it

Like, you could have this every once [music] in a blue moon, but when you're having this and other things like it, that's the problem

Uh, so yeah, I mean the first ingredient on the

ingredient [music] list is sugar

So that that says and the second ingredient is corn syrup

So nutrition if and that doesn't mean they going to be fired and I wouldn't eat it

You can f like this is like a class

You can get all A's and one F still me honor roll

I think uh positive, not super positive, but it's

only one one slice of the pie

Don't judge everything off one slice, but it is F for nutrition

Um, next, let's go to taste

I like to get the people what they want early in this early in the show

I want to wait till the last thing

Let's open this.

Oh man, coconutty

Oh my gosh

Okay, they got the coconut on fire for sure

This is a cool little texture

If I got something like this I was about to eat, I would think it was great

It looks good

Smells good

I ain't going to lie, smells [music] fire

Let's go ahead and dive in and see what it looks like

I

mean, see what it tastes like

Inside pretty good

All right, Kobe, I made that

Just so y'all [music] wonder, unless you can see that I did, but you can't

So, I made that

Um,

taste

Let's talk taste for a second

I probably should have said this

I didn't think about this when I got it, but I got it because my son liked it and it looked cool

Um, but also Big Backs out there wanted it

Uh, but I hate coconut. [laughter] I should have led the show with that Uh, I I I honestly hate

coconut unless it's in my drink

I love a Miami Vice in Las Vegas

You know what I'm saying? Now that's why [music] I love coconut

But I hate coconut with a passion when it comes to flavor and food and actual like [music] shaved coconuts, but this was probably some of the better dessert coconut I've had

Um [music]

it's not too much like it

It's not overpowering coconut

It is there though

Like you can't [music] run away from the coconut flavor, but I love the moistness of the cake, the marshmallow little bounce it gives you right there

And as much as there's coconut all over this and I taste it, I'm like, is this

real coconut? Cuz it ain't [music] too coconuty

Uh, let me see

Let me see

Let me see

Where does it say coconut on this thing at all? Um, it doesn't it got coconut

It It's not one of the top ingredients, but it does have actual coconut in it

So, that's pretty cool

Um, but yeah, highly

surprised that I like this

I wouldn't eat it again because I don't like coconut

But if I'm judging this, like this ain't bad

Like this is a a true C++ plus plus plus

And I'm only saying that because that's one thing like when you watch competition shows, [music] this is because somebody win

It's like

it's up to the judge and what they actually like what they prefer

Like you're never going to [music] judge a dish as a perfect dish or a great dish if it has something in it you don't like

So that C++ for me is a lot based with the fact that I don't love coconut, but that's a great grade for somebody

who doesn't like it

That's huge. [music] So taste C++ plus++

Trying to make it a B, but it ain't there yet

Um, next we got we did nutrition, we did that

Uh, price

So you got six of these, six servings for where we at? Where we at? [music] For $369 price

Do do six divided by do 369

divided by 6

That's cheap

That's a [music] cheap dessert

And this is you only need one of these

Like that's the problem with people

They eating two and three of them

Eating one

Actually go off the serving size

You may be better than you thought you was

But price, I'm going to give it a eight

That's like

less than a dollar per

And we know how expensive groceries are right now

So when it comes to price, a overall like you see, I got receipts here

We'll let you know no one is is is paying us to say anything

We will never allow anyone to pay us to give a review that makes their product look good. [music] The

whole point of the show is I want everyone to see us tear down these grocery stores inside and out and [music] give you our opinion on what the food really is based on our criteria that we judge it on

Just like people have been judging me my whole career on these shows

So, it's a little payback.

Can't wait to judge their grocery store food

Oh yeah

Wait

Can I never thought about that to right now

So, this is another episode of Super Chef for Supermarket

Remember, let me know what you want [music] to see

Let me know what you want me to try

Just message us, put in the comments

Instagram, my

DMs, it's always popping

So, I'll see you next episode

Thank you.
