    I hope so. One of the Chicago area bakeries is about a 10-minute drive from my house. And without Hostess treats, we can't have this...

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    WOW!!! Snowballs, Ring Dings and Devil Dogs. I would be in heaven with that trio all rolled into one masterpiece!

    When I was little my dad worked for a construction co and took his lunch. He had snowballs for his dessert and always saved me one. Another childhood icon bites the dust. Maybe Lil Debbie will buy the recipe.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Hostess products for me go in the same category as peanut butter and jelly. I have never eaten any - not a Twinkie or a Snowball. (That is not to say there are not lots of other sweet and disgusting things I've eaten!) It is about the texture.

    Hostess has been losing market share (and money) as healthy eating has become more of an emphasis. It is hard to make the case for a healthy Twinkie.

    MOFF - the story of your dad brings a tear to my eye...such a sweet memory!

    Goodness - you don't know what you're missing. Like how that gummy, rubbery marshmallow coating on the Snowball just sticks to the roof of your mouth..... And for some reason, the pink ones were always so much more appealing than the white ones! Go figure...........

    Grab an angel food cake baked in a bundt pan.

    Grab some cool whip and add a little vanilla then stuff the middle of that bad mother.

    ----------------------

    The best parts of a Sno-Ball?

    Peeling the top off, eating it separately - then scraping the cardboard for the extra cake and frosting.

    --------------

    Ho-hos and a cold glass of milk.......

    ---------------

    Pink or White?

    Has anyone had a "new" Twinkie or other Hostess product? I saw boxes of Twinkies on display at the supermarket, almost bought one

    I won't even be tempted - never really did care for Twinkies much. I was a Snoball person - and creme filled chocolate cupcakes where the icing always stuck to the wrapper.
