Here’s what to know about the Little Debbie cosmic mini muffins, plus the newly released fall treats you have to try.
What to know about the Little Debbie new releases
Recently, Little Debbie unveiled its lineup for the upcoming 2024 fall season. This includes a mix of new and returning flavors, now available at stores nationwide that carry the brand. Fans can celebrate the return of the following:
- Pumpkin Delights Cookies
- Pumpkin Spice Rolls
- Fall Party Cakes (in vanilla and chocolate)

As for what’s new, people are already raving about the Fall Gingerbread Soft Cookies, which look like gingerbread men, Football Brownies, just in time for preseason, and Pumpkin Spice Mini Muffins.
But the real surprise came when popular food blogger Markie Devo took to Instagram on August 20 to preview a brand-new addition to the Little Debbie family:
The Cosmic Mini Muffins, inspired by the ’90s-era Cosmic Brownies, are designed to deliver that same nostalgic delight with a “light & fluffy texture” topped with the colorful sprinkles that fans know and love. Devo’s post, which featured an image of the packaging, described the new treat as a must-try.
The legacy of Little Debbie
Walk through the snack aisle of any grocery store and you’ll likely find a box with a little girl’s smiling face on it. Little Debbie has been a staple in American households for decades, known for delivering sweet treats that bring a smile to snackers of all ages. Known for their bite-sized cookie and cake products, you’ll find dozens of varieties. But their best sellers include Swiss Cake Rolls, Nutty Bars, Fudge Rounds and Zebra Cakes, to name just a few. It’s safe to say the brand’s lineup packs a sugary punch.
Founded in 1960 by McKee Foods, the company’s founders wanted to name a product after one of their grandchildren. Now, Debbie McKee-Fowler serves as Executive Vice-President and serves on the McKee Foods Board of Directors. Her smiling face used in advertising and packaging was based on a real black-and-white photo of her.
Little Debbie has always had a knack for creating products that tap into feelings of true comfort, and the Cosmic Brownies are no exception. First introduced in the 1990s, these chewy, fudgy brownies topped with colorful, candy-coated sprinkles quickly became a lunchbox favorite.
Social media reactions
As soon as news of the Cosmic Mini Muffins hit the internet, Devo’s post flooded with comments. Fans took to the social media platform to share their enthusiasm for the upcoming release. “They sound sooo good,” wrote one excited user. “Oh this will 100% be mine,” another agreed.
But some people were more skeptical than others. “This looks kinda DRYYY. A frosting core would been nice,” wrote one concerned user. Another pointed to how the brand already sells chocolate muffins: “No thanks. Can you just make the regular ones larger?”
