Is anyone else out there missing Hostess snack cakes? I know that they were terribly unhealthy, but one every now and then never hurt anyone. :) When we were growing up, there was a little Hostess outlet store in our city and every once in a while, my mom would take us there and let us pick a treat. I can still remember the way the store smelled- a mix of Twinkies and bread (they also sold Wonder bread there). My favorite treats were the Hostess cupcakes and the fruit pies, but Ho Ho's were
