The snack cakes are achieved with the brand's signature golden sponge cake that's filled with a tropical fruit-flavored creme. The filling features an exotically shaded blue color to further drive home the tropical flavor and form of the snack cakes. The Hostess Tropical Blast Twinkies snack cakes come in 13.58-ounce boxes with 10 servings in each and are arriving now at select retailers. The snack cakes are the brand's latest limited-time treat and will only be stocked through the end of July, while supplies last. The cakes are expected to be a hit amongst existing fans and new ones alike.
