Minty Fudge-Covered Cakes

The New Wintermint Ding Dongs are Stuffed with a Mint Cream Filling

— October 23, 2019 — Lifestyle
Hot on the heels of the news that Hostess is releasing Mint Chocolate Twinkies, there are also reports that the brand is rolling out new Wintermint Ding Dongs.

Hostess' new Wintermint Ding Dongs were recently spotted at Walmart by eagle-eyed snack lovers. The limited-edition snack cakes are described as "white chocolate golden cake with mint creamy filling." In other words, these bite-size snack cakes are fudgy on the outside, and minty on the inside. For a unique twist on the flavors, the brand suggests trying the snack cakes frozen.

With 10 individually wrapped cakes per box, the new Wintermint Ding Dongs are a festive option for kids or a fun way for adults to indulge in a bit of nostalgic snacking.
