The Hostess Devil's Food Jumbo Honey Bun is being launched by the brand as its latest snack cake that will offer consumers a new twist on a classic. The snack consists of a chocolaty honey bun that's made with cocoa and glazed to give it a soft, sweet profile that is decidedly richer than the original Honey Bun. The snack bun features a 4.75-ounce size that comes in packs of one and is targeted towards the convenience store category.
The Hostess Devil's Food Jumbo Honey Bun will join the brand's existing lineup of snack cakes that includes the Iced and Glazed Jumbo Honey Buns, and is likely to draw in curious shoppers seeking a new kind of snack or dessert to enjoy.
