There aren’t many things that are sweeter than a Twinkie. That iconic combo of squishy, mysteriously moist yellow cake and creamy filling is basically a sugar supplement to stave off your 4 p.m. crash—I mean, they’re even pill shaped. How could a Twinkie be any sweeter? Well, how about if it was a literal candy. Yup, a new Twinkies candy bar is hitting stores now.
What maniac made a Twinkies candy bar? Do they own stock in sugar?
I mean, they may! The Twinkies candy bar is a collab between Hostess and R.M. Palmer, a company that’s probably best known for its mega-sweet chocolate Easter bunnies.
The new Twinkies bar has a golden coating stuffed with a sweet, creamy filling. It’s segmented like a classic Hershey bar so you can break it up and eat it piece by piece in case eating the whole thing in one sitting would send you into shock.
Where can I snag this sweet Franken-candy?
The new Twinkies candy bar was spotted at Family Dollar a few months ago, but a publicist says there are “more retailers to come.” Otherwise, it seems like it’s mostly available via wholesale candy websites at the moment.
Can these new Twinkies candy bars, like Twinkies themselves, survive a nuclear holocaust?
Given the general meltability of candy bars, I don’t have high hopes for this treat’s uncanny ability to withstand an apocalypse event alongside Twinkies and cockroaches, but fingers crossed we don’t have to find out anytime soon!
