I have recently found snack-cake chocolate to be a bit strong. From Grandma’s Cookies to Ding-Dong’s to Ho-Ho’s to cupcakes, I just seem to have lost my taste for the sweets.
I recently started to reject chocolate and other unhealthy things. A year ago, when I started to reject chocolate, I wondered, "Am I getting too grown up for Grandma’s Cookies? For Ding Dong’s? For Ho-Ho’s?" I was afraid. Am I now longer a kid?
Snack cake chocolate seemed a little strong. Was I going to stop eating 200-calorie fixes in the middle of the afternoon? That would almost make take my life into a realm of responsibility that I couldn’t begin to handle.
Then, about two months ago, I came across discovered a new snack, the Orange Hostess Cup Cake. It is mild, with a hint of citrus zest; a touch of class that one wouldn’t expect over the snack counter. When you bite, all is mild; a sharp contrast from its snack brethren. I understand that is not the experience that most junk food junkies may be going for.
If you aren’t in the cult, you will never beat us to the rack and will only find chocolate ones on the counter. You have to be quick if you want to know the joy of the Orange Hostess Cupcake.
