With nut butter continuing to rise in popularity, Hostess has just announced the debut of new Peanut Butter Ding Dongs. While the nutty new snack cakes are an ideal after-school snack for kids, peanut butter-loving adults are sure to enjoy them as well.
Described as "a triple threat of peanut butter," the new Ding Dongs consist of a nutty peanut butter cake base, which is stuffed with a creamy peanut butter filling and topped with an indulgent peanut butter and chocolate fudge drizzle. According to Keith Peterfeso of Hostess Brands, the new flavor is the result of rapid growth of the Ding Dongs brand since the debut of White Fudge Ding Dongs last year.
Available in both single-serve and multi-pack formats, Peanut Butter Ding Dongs are an indulgent new snack option.
