Walmart carries a line of Paula Deen products. They carry her ooey gooey butter cakes, red velvet pound cakes, chocolate bundht cake, rum pecan pie, etc. Those are only a few. I am a HUGE fan of her tv show so I decide to try some of them. Lord, DO NOT look at the nutritional information. The single serving dishes are very small and somehow manage to pack in 1000+ calories. One of her "fudge bars" is about 5 inches long and half an inch thick. The thing has 1200 calories, 70 grams fat, 40 saturdated fat and 4 trans fat. Better be good right? WRONGGGGG.. All of the products I have tried, with the exception of the rum pecan pie, have not actually been good. They all seem very dry. You would think something with 1200 calories would be sweet. No, its very bleh. Most of her baked goods I have tried are very, VERY dry, bland and lacking true flavor you can taste. Maybe it's because they are mass produced? Maybe they dry out on the shelf? I don't know. But I sure find it hard to believe it's original Paula Deen.
