    I’m 65 years old & have been eating Hostess cupcakes since I was a child. They are my favorite. I’m so disappointed in the lack of the cream center. I am just not as tempted to buy them anymore. I used to keep them in the pantry, but only buy the now occasionally now.

    Contains animal fat/tallow

    GoodVibesBibes - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
    These contain animal fat. I'd left a review before warning anyone vegetarian that these contained lard. The company got a lot of these reviews so they've now changed the label to say "tallow" which is another word for lard, or animal fat. So they changed the wording to try and trick more people. That says all you need to know. People have the right to know what they're eating without companies being deceptive. These are FULL of harmful ingredients.

    My son loves bringing these cupcakes to school and their perfect for individually wrapped treats. Their sweet and flavorful kids will love them. My only complaint is that there’s only 8 cupcakes that come in each box.
