Sweet salacious sugar, it’s a 100-calorie Twinkie!

Hostess is expanding on the portion controlled 100-calorie revolution to put out more of its products that dieters can munch on. Try to restrain yourselves.

Available nationwide, each Hostess 100 Calorie Pack of Twinkie Bites contains three mini Twinkie cakes filled with the brand’s signature creme filling, Hostess said in a statement

“Since we introduced Hostess 100 Calorie Cup Cakes in early 2007, consumers have been asking, ‘When will you offer a 100 Calorie Twinkie?'” said David Leavitt, vice president of snack marketing for Interstate Bakeries Corp., the makers of Hostess products. “Even though a regular Twinkie only has 150 calories — a fact many consumers don’t know — Twinkie Bites are sure to appeal to families looking for portion control and convenience from one of their favorite snack brands.”

Hostess is also introducing 100 Calorie Pack Strawberry Cup Cakes, three strawberry cakes with cream cheese icing and creme filling.

So now its:

  • Chocolate cup cakes with chocolate icing and creamy filling
  • Carrot cake cup cakes with cream cheese icing and creamy filling
  • Banana muffins with streusel topping
  • Cinnamon coffee cakes with streusel topping (these are really good, but they’re never on sale!)
