If you visit the Hostess website, you’ll see a countdown for the return of Twinkies, slated for July 15. Here’s some food for thought:
The first Twinkies were made with banana cream but later replaced with vanilla cream. After a 2005 tie-in with the movie “King Kong,” the flavor was brought back in 2007. |
Make your own Twinkies with this Cream Canoe Pan. |
Twinkies aren’t the only Hostess treats making a comeback–so are CupCakes and Donettes. |
Twinkies have many imitators, including Golden Creme Cakes, Dreamies and Bingles. |
Summers in Wisconsin means city/county/state fairs and of course, deep-fried Twinkies. |
In the movie “UHF,” Weird “Al” Yankovic’s character eats a Twinkie stuffed with a hot dog. |
