Ham and cheese Hot Pockets review

This is the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten. I haven't eaten a Hot Pocket in years and they have definitely changed the recipe. Everything about it!

There is absolutely no butter flaky crust anymore. It used to have a consistency of a toaster pastry. That has actually now been replaced by some really gross white colored do that does not look cooked even when it is. The inside filling is absolutely not cheese I have no idea what it is but it's pretty terrifying.

The portion size has dropped significantly. I used to be able to eat one of these. Now it's like a two portion... you have to get two of these nasty things to get the same fix now. I'm sure that the company planned it that way.

The entire thing is basically some uncooked pizza dough. It doesn't even taste buttery crusty or flaky anymore. The contents are not real. And the ham doesn't even taste like ham it's some sort of rubbery stuff. Just please stay away.

It's so sad after all of these years I just wanted to get a junk food fixed and this is completely disgusting. I don't see how they could have set out to change the recipe with improving it in mind at all. These people are strictly money Grabbers.

Outrageously greasy and filled with unhealthy chemicals. Don’t buy or eat this if you care at all about your health

The cheese was very good, and there's a lot of filling in each pocket. They're easy to heat up for a little snack, and it'll warm up your belly. For awhile.

These definitely have more flavor than the Lean Pockets version. The pastry, though, is very bland and the pockets are kind of small.

What is the white stuff in ham and cheese Hot Pockets?

But essentially, that's what you're getting here. Disodium guanylate is made from dehydrated sardines or seaweed. It's used to imbue a smoky, meaty flavor that apparently Hot Pockets' pork, noted here by the unsavory moniker, "ham water added ground and formed," simply can't match. Eat This, Not That!

What cheese is in ham and cheese Hot Pocket?

Savory, hearty hickory ham smothered in smooth melty cheese in a seasoned garlic cheddar-cheese crust. Portable snackability is perfect for on the go!
