Product Snapshot: Hostess $TWINKcoin is the newest limited-edition snack in the Hostess lineup, inspired by the recent headlines and discussion of cryptocurrency. A new take on fan-favorite Hostess Twinkies, Hostess $TWINKcoin is the first coin-shaped golden sponge cake of its kind.

"With more than 12,000 cryptocurrencies from which to choose, $TWINKcoin is the best investment to satisfy your snacking needs. Founded in 2022, $TWINKcoin was baked to create an opulent snack of golden treasure for any occasion," the brand says.
