Hostess S'mores Cupcakes feature graham cracker-flavored yellow cake with toasted marshmallow-flavored creme, topped with chocolate icing.
A 12.7-oz box goes for
$2.89 at Walmart (where they're currently exclusive) but I received these courtesy of Walmart.
The cake portion wasn't all that sweet and was a little bland. I was expecting a bit of a caramel or honey note to represent the graham flavor but the cake was just plain. It did, however, sport a color somewhere in the vicinity of a graham cracker. Unlike a graham cracker, it wasn't dry.
The chocolate icing seemed a bit softer and more chocolaty than a classic chocolate Hostess cupcake but it was also sweeter.
The toasted marshmallow-flavored creme managed a reasonable facsimile of a melted marshmallow in both taste and texture. It seemed thicker and more gooey than the more whipped cream-like texture of their standard creme.
Taken altogether, Hostess S'mores Cupcakes do a pretty good job of putting the flavors of s'mores in a cupcake. I particularly liked the richer chocolate flavor of the icing and the bit of marshmallow-like texture to the creme.
