WIN some Hostess 100 calorie snack packs!
Ooh you can never get too many snacks to review and this time 5 readers can win some too!
Hostess sent us 3 flavors of 100 calorie snacks to try: crumb cake, chocolate and carrot cake. We liked them and they didn’t last that long! Only Ben, Jamie and I tried the snacks. Apparently I have never purchased any Hostess products since having kids and Jamie and Ben were excited (gee, my kids have never had a twinkie)! Unpredictably picky Ethan didn’t want to try any (is he my son? refusing a snack? wow!). Anyway, the chocolate was our favorite, followed be the “vanilla” (carrot) and then the crumb cake. The kids liked the crumb but only asked for it after the other 2 boxes were empty.
Here are my thoughts:
- I like that there are 3 little cakes. To me 3 is the perfect number for a snack (and it kind of makes you feel like you get more out of your 100 calories)
- the little sizes are perfect for little kids and they just look cute
- I would buy them for special occasions (like a long car ride, the first day of school snack or just as an occasional treat)
- these are a fun snack that the kids (those who tried them anyway) and I liked!
FIVE people can win a coupon for a FREE multipack:
- To enter visit HOSTESS and come back and tell me something you learned from their site.
- One entry per person. Open to US residents only.
- Contest ends August 14, 09

Sunflower Cake
By Red Holland
Items Needed:
12 Hostess Twinkies
1 Hostess Ding Dong
1/2 cup chocolate morsels
1 can chocolate frosting
1/3 cup milk
DIRECTIONS: Place Ding Dong in center of round platter. Place Twinkies around Ding Dong to form petals. Mix frosting and milk to form thin glaze. Lightly glaze top of the King Don and arrange chocolate morsels in a circular pattern, starting at the center and working out (to look like the seeds in a sunflower). Place remaining glaze in plastic bag or pastry bag and pipe a line of chocolate down the center of each Twinkie! Kids love it…and it’s great for a picnic!!
