Hostess to launch HoneyBun Donettes: Price, availability, and more

Hostess starts spring with a sweet surprise for fans as the brand introduces all-new HoneyBun Donettes. As the name suggests, the new dessert offers a perfect fusion between the decadent vanilla glaze flavors of fluffy Donettes and the smokey-warm cinnamon flavors of HoneyBuns.

The HoneyBun Donettes will hit stores nationwide starting in early March and will join the brand's dessert snacks range as a permanent offering. The new offering that allows fans to enjoy the best of two crowd-pleasing breakfast desserts will exclusively be available in 10.5 oz bags and single-serve packs.

The J.M. Smucker-owned dessert snack brand announced the launch of HoneyBun Donettes through a press release last week, with Chris Balach, Vice President of Marketing, saying:

"We know that snack lovers are increasingly seeking new flavor combinations, and the melding of distinct tastes and textures offers a unique snacking experience."

Sharing a quick brief about the vision for the new dessert snack, Balach added:

"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."
