In addition, cinnamon-glazed Pumpkin Spice and Maple Glazed Donettes are also now available at stores nationwide, rounding out the company’s range of seasonal items this fall.

“As consumer tastes evolve and different occasions call for different flavors, we look to provide more innovative and unexpected items to satisfy those cravings,” said Ellen Copaken, vice president of marketing at Hostess Brands. “These latest indulgences in popular flavors are premium, seasonal alternatives to our existing snack cakes that have proven to be timeless classics.”

Consumers can expect additional seasonal items from Hostess to hit stores in time for the holidays, the company said.

Kansas City, Mo.-based Hostess owns the Twinkies, CupCakes, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, Zingers, Suzy Q's, Sno Balls, Donettes, Fruit Pie and other snack-cake brands.
