This year, you can enjoy one of your favorite summertime flavor combos in the form of a sweet pastry with Hostess' new S’mores CupCakes.
Just as the name suggests, Hostess' new S’mores CupCakes are inspired by the iconic campfire treats. The limited-edition snack is made from a sweet and moist graham cracker-flavored yellow cake base. The cupcake is then filled with a toasted marshmallow creamy filling, and topped with chocolate and white icing. The sweet treats come in boxes of eight.
But if you're looking to get your hands on this limited-edition treat, you won't find them on just any store shelves. Hostess' new S’mores CupCakes are available exclusively from Walmart locations nationwide starting on July 9, 2020.
