Hostess rolls out chocolate peanut butter Twinkies

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Hostess is putting a new twist on an iconic snack. The company on Tuesday announced the introduction of chocolate peanut butter Twinkies — a chocolate cake Twinkie with peanut butter crème filling.

 

“With chocolate peanut butter Twinkies, we have paired America’s favorite flavor combination with America’s most beloved snack cake,” Hostess Brands SVP and chief marketing officer Burke Raine said. “This peanut butter-filled treat comes on the heels of our recent introduction of Hostess chocolate cake Twinkies and is another a prime example of our efforts to embrace consumer flavor trends.”

 

The Twinkie variety is starting to appear on store shelves and is available in single-serve and multi-pack formats, the company said.
