'Hostess' is currently selling a line of snack-size treats that are meant for celebrating Valentine's Day. While it may seem that the Christmas season only just ended, brands are already gearing up for the next major holiday.
The Valentine's Day collection consists of five snack-size treats: Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cupcakes, Red Velvet Donettes, I Heart U Cakes, Pink SnoBalls and Dark Chocolate Covered Raspberry CupCakes. Most of the treats come in red or white, with romantic decorations such as heart-shaped sprinkles. Although most of these desserts are returning favorites, the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cupcakes are a new addition.
The Hostess Valentine's Day collection is currently available at grocery stores across the country, with the exception of the Dark Chocolate Covered Raspberry CupCakes, which are exclusively available at Target.
