Danger!

 This is a dangerous combination.

I grew up on these things and try to avoid because they contain lard and deep fired.

But we just a got a care package that had them and I succumbed to ravishing the cherry and apple.

Many of the iconic Hostess treats are now mini size..

press release

While researching I discovered that Hostess was bought by Smucker's - and Smuckers owns Uncrustables which has been another huge hit over here.. Unfortunately they are almost 300 calories a pop and that is not even including the milk you must drink with them to receive the full effect of goodness. Not all bases have them (although Air Force Bases typically do) it is an excellent treasure when it you find them.

Smuckers also owns Folgers, Cafe Bustelo, and JIF peanut butter.

This is in turn let me to read a ton of press releases and to my great surprise -  Haagen Dazs will have pumpkin spice ice cream this fall - Check out the  release   They will not be in every location but I will hunt for them!

The Pumpkin Spice Collection includes:

Pumpkin Spice Shake – Dulce de Leche ice cream blended with real pumpkin puree, topped with whipped cream and a dusting of pumpkin spices.

Pumpkin Spice Dazzler – A decadent creation layering Dulce de Leche ice cream with caramel sauce and crunchy cinnamon cookie pieces, finished with warm pumpkin pie spices.
