Is Hostess officially gone?

My Mom has always been a lover for their twinkies. Why I do not know. (I don't find them to be very good.) However, I am asking this question for her sake. lol. So please. Give me an answer. Also, please refrain from rude comments such as "your Mom must be fat" Because she is most certainly not.

Yes, all gone. But many others still remain. May not be as good as Hostess. But they can run their businesses effectively enough to stay open. In a country full of snack connoisseurs and potheads... HOW DO YOU MESS THIS GRAVY TRAIN UP?!!! But I digress. I believe that they've cracked the recipe and its available online. You'll have to find it. Or enjoy a Little Debbie's cupcake... MUHAAAAAHAaaaa...

No problem. Let me know if you find the recipe. Should be easy enough but there are the fakes to content with.

I read a week or two ago that they had a buyer for the recipe and that the sale just needed to be approved by the bankruptcy court.

There were actually two buyers so if the first one fell through they have a back up. I think Twenties will be back by sometime next year. I'm with you, I don't think that they are all that good either.

When I was about 6 I loved Ho-Ho's! As an adult they were just to sweet.
