This summer, Hostess is expanding its offerings to include new seasonal Strawberry Cheesecake Donettes. The new product is also accompanied by the indulgent Cream Cheese Coffee Cakes.
The two new Hostess products are tasty takes on two fan-favorite snack cakes. The Strawberry Cheesecake Donettes consist of bright pink, strawberry-flavored cake donuts. These mini donuts are then coated in a creamy icing similar to that found on a real strawberry cheesecake. On the other hand, Cream Cheese Coffee Cakes are made with real cream cheese and topped with a sweet sugar-crumb streusel.
To round out its new offerings, Hostess' Chocolate Frosted Donettes and Powdered Donettes are also now available in travel-friendly on-the-go packaging—perfect for summer adventures.
