The Hostess Lemonade Stand Twinkies are a limited-edition offering from the snack brand that is a summertime take on the flavor of the original.
The snack cakes feature a golden sponge cake that has been filled with a lemon-flavored creme that features a vibrant pink hue. This makes the snack cakes perfect for enjoyment in the warm weather as an alternative way to enjoy the namesake flavor of tart lemonade. The Twinkies come in two-count, eight-count and 10-count packages, and have been announced alongside the returning S'mores Cupcakes that feature yellow cupcakes topped with chocolate icing and filled with toasted marshmallow creme.
The Hostess Lemonade Stand Twinkies are available now but only through July 4, 2021.
