You no longer have to wait until the state fair rolls into town to grab one of America’s favorite fabled indulgences: the deep fried Twinkie. Hostess Brands announced it is rolling out a battered and deep fried version of its iconic cream-filled sponge cake for consumers to heat up at home. The product launches nationwide later this year and is the company’s first foray into the frozen food aisle.
The pre-packed deep-fried Twinkies are dipped in funnel cake batter and flash fried before they’re frozen, and can be heated up in a toaster oven or regular oven in just minutes. The product comes in two flavors: Classic and Chocolate.
