hey, I was wondering if you could substitute splenda for sugar? would it be the same amount? I would love to make these for a friend of mine with diabetes. Please advise.

Hostess did more than junk, they made Home Pride Bread and other things too. So how about those? thanks.

The recipes are great. The one I really loved was the chocolate chocolate chip muffin loaf. Hostess also had blueberry, raspberry, and bannna nut muffin loafs.

under the hostess brand there were other things too like Home Pride Bread. Would dearly love to see some of the better things featured as well. Thanks for all that you do share though, these are some favorites for sure.

The Hostess recipes are wonderful! I would really like a recipe for the orange cupcakes (a favorite treat of mine & friends since we were very small) My friend's dad would buy a bunch of hostess snack and put them in the freezer...to be consumed on our sleepovers.
