""They taste horrible now. The past several bags I've gotten the texture and taste has been off [...] The powdered sugar isn't fully powdered. Chewing it feels gritty between my teeth. [...] The powdered sugar taste seems duller, it's not as sweet.""
""With the new iteration, the 'powder' is practically glued to the donut. The powdered sugar seems to be the biggest offender, but Hostess lovers also had qualms with the donut itself, likening it to drier, hardened dough.""
""The powdered [Donettes] are not the fresh and soft donuts I remember. Hostess went out of business and its product lines were sold. The new maker probably changed the recipe to make more money.""
Customers have expressed disappointment in the quality of Hostess powdered Donettes, claiming they taste horrible and have a gritty texture. The powdered sugar is not fully powdered, leading to a duller taste. Many fans feel the donuts are drier and stale compared to their memories. This decline in quality is attributed to a change in ownership, with the new maker possibly altering the recipe for profit. Other Hostess products, like chocolate Donettes, have also been criticized for similar issues.
