Caramel Creme Snack Cakes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Caramel Ding Dongs are a Sweet New Twist on a Classic Snack

— April 20, 2020 — Lifestyle
Hostess recently expanded its every-growing snack food empire to include the new Caramel Ding Dongs.

The original Ding Dongs are one of Hostess' most popular snack cakes and consist of round and spongey chocolate cakes filled with a rich vanilla crème and dipped in chocolate. The caramel version of the snack features individual cakes stuffed with a sweet caramel creme filling and finished with a rich chocolate fudge coating. Each snack cake also comes individually wrapped with 10 in each box for easy sharing or convenient on-the-go snacking.

While Hostess Ding Dongs already come in tasty flavors such as Peanut Butter, Mint, White Fudge, and Wintermint, the new caramel variety is a deliciously sweet take on the classic snack cakes.
