Memories From Grandma’s House: Hostess Review and $100 Visa Gift Card Giveaway (2024)

Ashley H.

I used to love eating a hostess cupcake when I got home from school. We were only allowed 3 a week though :).

Zak

ZINGERS! My sisters and I loved Zingers and my grandma always kept them in her pantry for us. We would eat one box in one sitting (GROSS, I know).

And now I want a Zinger.

Jenny

When I was young, and in swimming lessons, my mom would always buy us something from the vending machines when we were done, because we were famished. My all time favorite treat was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pudding Pie. Kind of like the apple or cherry or lemon ones, but it had green vanilla pudding in it. I wish they made something similar to that now. They were so good!

I remember my brother always getting Twinkies in his lunchbox but I never did (he was skinny, me not so much). It’s the memory of wanting those Twinkies so badly that tortured me as a child. LOL.

I…was the child of the local hippie herbalist midwife. I was not allowed to eat Hostess products. There was shame in even asking. Didn’t I know what horrible things were in that stuff? Did I want to die young of heart disease? HAVE SOME CAROB CHIPS AND BE QUIET. When I was about four, though, I went on a playdate to a friend’s house, and lunch? Consisted of THE NECTAR OF THE GODS. Spaghetti-os! Capri Sun! And for dessert, we each got one of those ubiquitous Hostess filled cupcakes, with the curlicue of white icing across the top. Oh, man. I reverently lifted a little of that icing up with my fingernail and placed it on my tongue. SUGARRRRRR!!! I remember that cupcake as one of the single most delicious things I have ever eaten, even if I haven’t had one since. Now I’m that jerkhole crunchy granola mom who doesn’t let her kids eat Hostess products, but I do bake similar versions at home with healthier ingredients, and my kids don’t seem to mind. Still, that cupcake was the BOMB.

Anita

Hostess Cupcakes were always my favorite. I loved to break them in half and eat the cream filling out of the middle and then the icing off the top. Yum!

Lisa @ Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy

When I was little my mom bought me the cinnamon rolls and perfected the time required to warm one up in the microwave…without MELTING the icing. Everytime I pass the rack of them in the store I think of her. For my own kids I LOVE donettes for a tasty weekend treat. They are perfect for us on a Sunday morning (in the car on the way to church) to save time!

I always loved them as an after school snack as a child.

I don’t get my afinity for snowballs. Really. It’s probably the coconut and definitely not the bring pink color. But I love them. Oh. and twinkies. It’s the cream filling.

Growing up, Twinkies were always my favorite. Then when I was in college and met my husband he introduced me to Ding Dongs. Put them in the fridge and eat them cold. They are delicious this way.

A great memory I have of Hostess is the fact that growing up we almost always had some type of hostess snacks. Usually twinkies, chocolate cupcakes or zingers

Solducky

My dad would always pick up a box of hostess snacks at the store each week so we could have one with our lunch. It was his special thing for us!

I’m torn between the Suzy Q’s I used to buy at the school vending machine, licking the frosting out of the middle. Or the Ho-Ho’s I would meticulously eat all the chocolate coating off of, before carefully unrolling it and licking out the frosting. Apparently, I had a thing for licking out the frosting!

Headless Mom

Twinkies were the only thing that my grandfather liked to eat when he was very sick at the end of his life. I’ll never look at one without thinking of him, ever.

I have hypoglycemia, and it was much worse when I was younger. I passed out 3 times in middle school and ended up in an ambulance directly from school to the ER two of those times. Mostly it was because I forgot to eat. As a result my Mom was desperate to get me to eat breakfast. She (and I) figured out the best solution for each morning was some fruit and several Donettes®. She was happy I ate something, I was thrilled that it was powdery, sugary goodness, and we were both pleased when I stopped requiring emergency transportation from school.

Joni

My story is similar, if not the same. Although, instead of being good and rewarded with the Hostess cake, I was the sneaky one and just grabbed the stash (I am old too, but I was stealthy in my younger days!!). Hostess has been a part of my life since I can remember, and don’t think I will ever give them up!!!

Is it wrong that my favorite Hostess memory is from when I was an adult??

When I first started teaching school way back in 1992, I was the only Kindergarten teacher in a K-12 country school. My husband taught all the high school science classes at the same school. On the way home we would stop at a little convenience store in the middle of nowhere for a snack. I always bought Chocolate Zingers or Powdered Sugar Donuts. Always. The sweet little man at the counter would ask me the same question every day. “Did you learn something today, or do you have to go back tomorrow?” Every time I eat Zingers or those yummy donuts I think about that little man and how much I’ve learned since then!

True Story!

I remember the first time I was ever allowed to eat them when I was 10. Delicious!

AlisonH

I grew up with an Adelle-Davis-health-food-loving mom (MFA Mom up there: carob brownies–yes!) and only ever saw Hostess cakes in my friends’ lunches.

Till one day at about 12 when I was at a grocery store with my Dad and right there in front of us, right below eye level on top of display, was a box of Twinkies. On sale. Mom wasn’t there. Dad winked at me and put them in the cart. I could NOT believe my eyes! I was SO excited!

I later ate quite a few of their fruit pies from the vending machines in my college dorm the days that I missed dinner in the cafeteria.

My favorite Hostess memory is a recent one. It’s the day I introduced my daughter to HoHos and promptly discovered she’s not the biggest fan. MORE FOR ME! HUZZAH!

My favorite memory is coming in from the snow after a long walk home from school in Michigan snow, and my mom serving up a hot mug of hot chocolate with a Twinkie. I would eat the top off, lick the cream out and then dip the bottom in my mug to soak up the last inch or so of chocolate! Just writing this is making me crave a brief trip back in time!

I remember always begging my parents for Hostess Cupcakes in the grocery store, what a treat they were! Field trip’s were a guaranteed hostess in the lunch brought from home!

When I was a kid my mom used to buy ding-dongs from the outlet store. And she thought she was sneaky and she would “hide” the big box of ding-dongs in the freezer. But my brothers and I of course knew about the hidden treats and can I tell you how delicious a frozen ding-dong is? Ding-dong. What a great name. And what great memories! As a mom what I love about Hostess products is that the serving size is not enormous and so when my kids have a treat it isn’t some enormous, terrifyingly full of calories sort of thing.

Julie Smetzer

My first cupcake was a dream come true. Chocolate of course. First: stripped the frosting off the top, with each bite savored its generous thickness (no cheap topping from Hostess!!). Then dug out the vanilla cream filling with the tip of my tongue. Oh. Yeah. And the cake part? Left in a crumbed heap on my plate. Heck, I’d eaten all the good parts already.

When I saw this giveaway and the fact that it was Hostess, I knew I have the perfect memory. My mother had been out shopping and our favorite snacks were twinkies and zingers. Well, my brother took the package of twinkies behind my mom’s back and took them to his room. He sat in his room and ate the whole box. He was so sick that night. My parents wondered why he was so sick. The next day my mom found the empty box with wrappers in his room. Needless to say he didn’t receive any punishment for it. Guess they decided that him being sick was punishment enough. Thanks for the giveaway!

Every Easter I make “bunny racers” using twinkies for the body of a race care. I gut a little seat out of near the front and put a Peeps bunny driver in the seat with a life savor (the big ones) steering wheel. I use colored vanilla wafers for the wheels and pipe a frosting number on the “hood” of the racer. I have pictures but I didn’t know how to get it on here. Go to My Chef Mom on face book I have one on there. I love Hostess except EWWWW I do NOT like those Snowballs.

It is the Ding Dong. I had a friend in grade school that had a Ding Dong in her lunch every day. I was so envious of the wonderful little silver disk. Every once in a while she would share her delicious little chocolate cake. She would cut it into four pieces and i would savor my portion. Now that I am an adult and can choose what goes in my lunch. So whenever I am in need of just a little comfort to take me back to those simple grade school days I throw in a Ding Dong.

I remember in my childhood when my mom gave me the Twinkies® after school I was so happy and I enjoyed the super soft cake that afternoon, this is my favorite memory of a Hostess® snack cake and I give my children the same Twinkies® after school, they are so happy to have them too. It is nothing better than you see your loved ones are so happy.

My dad worked for interstate brands when I was a child, so he was a delivery man for bread and Hostess products!!!! A few days a week, he would bring home a treat for me, and he knew my favorite was Suzy Qs. Zingers were a close second 🙂 My children know the joy of Hostess, too!

A favorite memory I have was going grocery shopping with my mom as a child and we’d always buy a package of hostess treats to enjoy on the way home! Usually the Cupcakes or Hoho’s. Yummmmm. Simple but so fun! 🙂

My favorite memory is sharing Hostess cupcakes with my dad. We tried to make them last as long as possible but we didn’t have much resistance to all that yummy goodness.

It started with hostess treats in my lunchbox for school and for the rest of my life, I’ve never been able to resist those little chocolate donuts. Thanks a lot, Mom!

My fondest memory is receiving twinkles and donettes as treats when I visited my grandparents.

My earliest fave memory is getting home and dunking chocolate Hostess Donettes in milk.
