Hostess Cupcakes Minis, Chocolate Snack Cakes, 8.17 oz Box (6 Count)

absolutely love these Hostess Cupcake Minis! They’re everything I enjoy about the classic Hostess cupcakes – the rich chocolate cake, the creamy filling, and the iconic frosting swirl – but in a smaller, more manageable size. It’s the perfect treat when you want something sweet without committing to a full-sized dessert. Plus, the smaller portion feels more appropriate for my kids, making it a great option for their snacks. The pricing is reasonable, especially for how delicious and convenient they are. My only wish is that they were individually packaged instead of two per pack, but I love that I can save one for later. I prefer mine refrigerated for an even better experience. These might just be my new favorite snack! I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mini portion it's very convenient and more enjoyable than the regular size. It's a very rich chocolate cake a little bit on the sweet side. We shared them in a party and everyone really liked them.

These mini cupcakes, pack a familiar chocolate punch in a conveniently small package. It's perfect for putting in a lunch bag for a sweet treat after your lunch. The size makes them perfect for snacking on the go and portion control. We could not keep these in our house. They went so fast!!!

Tasted like Hostess cupcakes should but I would have preferred them to be individually wrapped. Most of us glean the writing and see the 12, not the fine print (6 count). Yes, I said most of us and stand by that …. I still want individually wrapped cupcakes!

We love these mini cakes, but recently we bought a box that must have missed the frosting line :-( The cakes had the white curly frosting, but no chocolate frosting… the white frosting was just on the cake texture. This made them a little dry. I wanted to just send this to the company (but didn't see a way to do it) because they are usually yummy! Just wanted to notify and maybe be able to get a coupon for a new box! Thanks!! Vicki

These taste like a chemical sponge. I have no idea how these made it through all the work and test marketing. I wouldn't feed these to my worst enemy! Gross! Awful! I have an amazing camera so it is helping more then it should....lol

I can't believe how bad hostess is now. What a disappointment. Dry and nasty. Got these end of may and they expire in July. Look at these!

I received this order 12/20/25. When I ate one of the cupcakes, I noticed it was dry and had an odd taste. The delivery sticker was over the expiration date, and I peeled that back. The cupcakes expired 08/13/25!!!!!! Four months!

these were best by November 13 2025

These are a a total Yuck!These are not the Hostess from my childhood. These mini cupcakes are very very very dry. The icing is dry and flakey. I checked the freshness date but that that was not the problem. If you are putting these in your cart..... just don't do it.
