(431 posts)By Drakes. I always loved them but my wife turned me on to storing them in the freezer. They're great with a cup of hot tea. And we still either have them sent by the dozens of boxes or we load up our rv when we travel to the east coast. For some reason we don't get them out here in the west.

When Hostess came out with Ding Dongs, that was it. I could get high just from peeling back the aluminum foil that each one used to come wrapped in.

I'm not sure Little Debbie was around here when I was a little kid. Maybe I just don't remember it.

Lots of flavors, but I liked the blueberry, cherry, and apple.

(1,200 posts)A box of 12, like shown above, runs me $2.99. A "Big Box", containing 24, runs $4.59. When I buy a box I split it with my daughter; my share lasts a few days, her share disappears all at once.
Kit Kats have no peanut butter.
