Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Rolls are being debuted in a new option that pays homage to the brand's iconic original snack cake and updates it with the needs of today's consumer in mind.

The product will feature two individually wrapped rolls that are filled with strawberry-flavored jelly and creme to give them a sweet, creamy taste profile that's great as a snack or a dessert. The rolls will thus prioritize freshness thanks to their individually wrapped profile and builds on the snack's original format that comes in multipack formats. This is hoped to capitalize on the [single-serve snack product market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonder-bakery-snacks).

Associate Brand Manager at [McKee Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-debbie-treats) Chuck Clevenger commented on the new Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Rolls saying, "By introducing a single-serve version, we’re making it easier than ever for consumers to enjoy this classic treat whenever and wherever they want — without compromising on the flavor and quality they expect."
