Throwback Alert! 10 Sweet Treats Using Twinkies
When Hostess discontinued Twinkies in 2012, the kid inside all of us cried. We grew up snacking on the sweet and sinful golden sponge cake with creamy filling, and living in a world sans Twinkies just seemed cruel and unfair! But then last year, the packaged snack made “the sweetest comeback in the history of ever,” finding its way back into our grocery stores and snack drawers. And just last week, Hostess announced the return of Twinkies’ alter ego, The Chocodile. (#winning)
