When Hostess went bankrupt and Twinkies flew off the shelves, people freaked out and Twinkies started becoming a rare commodity. Yeah, what a first-world problem - we no longer had these sugar and carb-filled treats to contribute to our obesity epidemic any more. However, the latest rumor is that the Twinkie might make a return to store shelves in September of 2013, at the earliest.
On my latest trip to the Save-a-lot in Roslindale (near Boston, MA), I noticed a box of treats that looked pretty close to the Twinkie: the dreamie. In case you really can't wait, look for these dreamies instead. They cost $1.99 for a box of 6 individually-wrapped treats and they're basically imitation Twinkies that taste pretty darn close to the real thing. Having said that, I'm not an expert on Twinkies because my dad never let me eat this crap when I was growing up. So, all I'm suggesting is that you spend less than $2 to try them yourself. If you don't like them, then wait until later this year.
In case you're into other types of packaged pastries too, Mrs. Freshley's also makes chocolate cupcakes with the white cream in the middle, which look very similar to the ones Hostess (or some other company) used to make. I actually like those.
If you eat this crap on a regular basis, I'm pretty sure you're not on a diet. However, in case you're wondering, one dreamie is 140 calories. You're welcome...
