Fans of Little Debbie’s Snacks will soon be seeing new flavors of the popular treat at local grocery and convenience stores.
Following the successful launch of the Old Fashioned Donut last summer, the company has introduced the Chocolate Old Fashioned Donut, now rolling out to major retailers, grocery stores and convenience stores nationwide.
Mackie Foods, which makes and produces Little Debbie snacks, said in an April 14 news release that the Old Fashioned donut has been a top performer in the U.S. breakfast and snack category since its launch in June 2025.
“We’ve had an incredible response to the Old Fashioned donut we introduced last year, and we’re building on what works and giving both our loyal fans and new fans a compelling reason to come back to our stores,” Little Debbie brand manager Scott Brownlow said in a news release.
