You Can Make Twinkies And Ding Dong Desserts At Home With These Hostess Snack Kits Hostess

If we’re going to be completely candid with each other here, I have to admit that Hostess is probably my least favorite snack cake maker. That’s not to say I don’t love them because I do — they’re delicious, as all snack cakes are — but that Tastytake was my #1 boo growing up, followed closely by Little Debbie. However, neither of those brands allow me to bring the flavors home to my own kitchen like these Hostess snack kits do, so I may need to reevaluate.

  1. Unfortunately, you won’t be making the cakes themselves. Though given the fun Claire Saffitz had trying her hand at Twinkies from scratch, that’s probably a good thing. Instead, you’ll be bringing some of Hostess’s best flavors to your table in the form of pudding desserts.
  2. There are three varieties available. You can make an orange cupcake, Twinkie, or Ding Dong dessert with the kits, all of which come with everything you need for the unique twist on the classic cakes. Each kit comes with the appropriately flavored instant pudding mix, a cream filling mix, and whatever drizzle goes with each. Pretty sweet, right?
  3. It’s like a mini trifle! You basically make each of the components, then make layers of pudding and cream one after another until you get to the top, where the flavored drizzle goes. Snack cakes may not be fancy but trifle is, so you’re basically elevating your snack game to aristocratic levels here.
  4. They’re available at your local grocery store now. Check the shelves at your favorite supermarket and you should be able to find these dessert kits now. However, if Hostess is holding out on you, you can always see if Instacart will deliver the product to your area (and, if desperation truly sets in, there’s always eBay). What are you waiting for? Go forth and live your snack cake-filled dreams!
