KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Hostess Brands is releasing several treats for a limited time this fall.

Iced Pumpkin CupCakes, Pumpkin Spice Twinkies and Caramel Crunch Donettes are available at grocery and convenience stores.  

The Iced Pumpkin CupCakes are new this year and are made with pumpkin cake and creamy filling, and topped with a cream cheese icing and Hostess’ Original Squiggle.

“Pumpkin spice has become one of the flavors that consumers get genuinely excited about each year, so of course we’ll do our part to pay tribute to the season,” said Chad Lusk, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Hostess.

Other seasonal pumpkin favorites have recently emerged in c-stores, including 7-Eleven's Pumpkin Spice Latte and pumpkin-flavored coffee and Pilot Flying J’s limited-time Pumpkin Maple Cappuccino and Cinnamon Spice Cold brew.

Kansas City, Mo.-based Hostess is a packaged food company focused on manufacturing and selling fresh baked sweet goods in the United States. The brand dates back to 1919 and includes Twinkies, Donettes, Zingers, Honey Buns and Coffee Cakes.
