Hostess Cupcakes are healthy!
Permalink Closed


The other day when I was eating a Mounds bar I was quite surprised at the amount of fat in it (50% DV of saturated fat!)  I thought dark chocolate and coconut was a healthy choice!  I guess those Hostess cupcakes I have been inhaling are quite the healthy alternative.  They have 10% of your daily calcium and 4% of daily iron.  And I usually eat two in a sitting, that's like downing a vitamin!  Just see for yourself!

Haha I was cracking up when I read this because this is how I justify things.  I *love* Sonic's grilled cheese and I always justify eating them by saying the alternatives (McDonalds, Taco Bell, etc) are much worse.

And believe this: Hostess Cupcakes are heart healthy!  I was checking a website which lists heart healthy snacks, and these were one of them!

That's good to know! More reason to go eat some! But seriously, when I'm craving chocolate or sweets, maybe I'll reach for these now.

I think these were also one of the few within the similar products that didn't include "animal shortning" as an ingredient. Isn't all that sodium bad though? If I crave something chocolate I usually have a cup of cocoa. Something sweet? Some honey peanutbutter yummm.
