For anyone who has tried Hostess Twinkies before, the first thought probably wasn’t that it needed more sugar, and yet here we are. These are the Limited Edition Hostess Cotton Candy Twinkies. Twinkies are an American snack which is a vanilla sponge usually with a vanilla creme filling. The twist is, these ones are candy floss or cotton candy to keep up with the USA term. If you have ever watched Zombieland, you will have seen Woody Harrelson’s risking life and limb to get hold of the last Twinkies, which is probably around the time I first hunted them down myself. Thankfully, these are much easier to find in the UK now, but limited editions are still mostly in the import shops.
I broke one of the new Twinkies in half and found the filling to be a bright pink colour. I gave it a taste. The flavour of the sponge is vanilla and it is a nice moist sponge. The filling does what it says and tastes sugary, like candy floss. It is sweet and tasty, but I always remind people I have a strong sweet tooth. I loved these, pure sugary goodness and a lovely afternoon treat. I love having something super sweet with a coffee for contrast and these were just perfect for that. I will always keep an eye out for limited edition Hostess Twinkies. They always make me smile.
