Return Of The Classics

It's a super treat when childhood classics come back. There's nothing like having a Yodel or a Twinkie with a big glass of milk - no matter how old you are.  We re like Proust with his madeleines.Our first  foodie loves will always be our eternal ones.

With this Hostess is making a big comeback. We have Apollo Global Management and Metropolous and Company to thank for this. They bought Hostess after the company liquidated in 2012. Granted you can find Twinkie recipes as well as the squiggle cupcake  one up and down the Internet. Twinkies are nothing more than pound cake fingers injected with a butter cream type filling. The cupcake is your basic devils' food with a marshmallow middle. The problem is baking is time consuming  and who can eat a dozen Twinkies or squiggle cupcakes? (well, we all could but that would be lethal)

My childhood favorite, the Keebler Fudge Sandwiches are completely gone . I have looked for them, even for recipes but there are none.A Canadian company,Dares' makes something sort of similar .I have yet to try these but some fudge fans claim they're sort of alike in taste.Luckily other childhood must haves , such as Yodels and Ring Dings along with those plain but tasty Yankee Doodles. are making a return. No matter how old you are there's nothing like having these as a snack or a cure for a bad day.


Hostess and Drake fans rejoice. Your faves are coming back with a vengeance. Pick up a package and enjoy them with a big glass of milk.
