"We know that snack lovers are increasingly seeking new flavor combinations, and the melding of distinct tastes and textures offers a unique snacking experience," said Chris Balach, vice president, marketing, Sweet Baked Snacks at The J.M. Smucker Co. "The Hostess brand continues to lead in delivering mouthwatering innovations like HoneyBun Donettes that satisfy consumers' cravings and bring joy not only to their breakfast routine, but throughout their day."

This new mashup is only the second of its kind in recent Hostess snacking history. The HoneyBun Donettes taste combination comes off the success of last year's Hostess Ding Dongs^® x Twinkies^® Mashups, which featured the spongy cake and signature crème filling Twinkies fans know and love covered in Ding Dongs fudgy chocolate frosting.

HoneyBun Donettes will begin to roll out at grocery retailers and convenience stores nationwide in early March and will be available in standard bagged packaging as well as a single-serve option.
