It seems that Hostess is already gearing up for spring with the release of limited-edition Mint Chocolate CupCakes.

Though the release is not official, dedicated fans have spotted CupCakes in two new spring flavors. First, there's the new Mint Chocolate CupCakes, which consist of a chocolate cake base, filled with mint icing in the middle, and mint icing on top. The Mint Chocolate CupCakes are perfect for St. Patrick's Day, but there's also the new Strawberry CupCakes, which is great for any spring occasion. These fruity snack cakes consist of a strawberry cake base, stuffed with a creamy filling, and strawberry icing on top.

Though the release of the two new flavors is not official, they have been spotted at [Walmart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-lovers-twinkies) by eagle-eyed shoppers.
