Hostess Giveaway

Everyone knows Hostess snack cakes. Those airy, spongy, cream filled delights known as Twinkies, and of course the chocolate cupcakes bursting with flavor and sweet cream filling. Not to mention all of the recent fabulous products they've introduced over the past years. Mmm, they are the perfect sweet treat to indulge in. Hostess is one of those brands that we grew up with and they have been in our lives for decades.



The Hostess brand got its start in Indianapolis in 1925. Continental Baking Company purchased a bakery called Taggart that was selling popular new bread called Wonder. Continental began selling Wonder Bread as its national bread brand but needed a line of cakes to sell alongside. Hostess cake was born, including the chocolate cup cake which is still popular today.



Some of my favorite Hostess products are Snoballs, Ring-Dings, the Classic Chocolate Cupcakes, and of course Ho-Ho's. I don't eat Hostess products a lot but when I want something sweet I definitely turn to their treats. They curb my sweet tooth and they have such a great taste. They were meant for a chocoholic like me!

A lucky winner is going to get to curb their sweet tooth too when they win this Hostess prize pack!


The prize pack consists of:
One (1) box of Twinkies
One (1) box of Classic Chocolate Cupcakes
One (1) box of Snoballimus Optimus Prime cupcakes. (Coconut and marshmallow covered chocolate cake with cream filling)
One (1) box of Chocwave Shockwave (Frosted chocolate cake with sprinkles and creamy filling.)

These treats would be great to share with your family or friends. Hide enough for yourself too though ;)

  171. My husband's favorite Hostess snack cake are Twinkies. The kids and I prefer something with chocolate frosting (HoHos, DingDongs, Donettes, Cupcakes). Thanks for the giveaway.
