Carnival-Inspired Snack Cakes

Hostess Cotton Candy Twinkies are a Limited-Edition Offering

— March 2, 2022 — Marketing
The Hostess Cotton Candy Twinkies are being launched by the brand for springtime 2022 to provide consumers with a way to get ready for warm weather events and celebrations in a tasty way. The snack cakes feature the familiar form of the original Twinkie with its signature sponge cake but hides a pink-hued cream filling on the inside that offers a burst of cotton candy flavor. This will make the snack cakes perfect for those who have a penchant for the essential carnival treat.

The Hostess Cotton Candy Twinkies are arriving as a limited-edition snack that will come in boxes of 10 individual servings, which are arriving on store shelves now but will only be available through April 6, 2022.
