Hostess Raspberry Filled Donuts - help!

I am looking for a small supply of these donuts - Hostess Raspberry Filled Donuts to be exact. I use to be able to buy them here in the Northeast many years ago but I haven't been able to find them locally for over 7 years now. They are a powdered covered donut with a small amount of raspberry jelly filled into the ring of the donut. I called a local Hostess distributor and they told me that they are not available in the northeast anymore. A few years ago I met someone in the midwest that was nice enough to ship me a couple of boxes but I am unable to contact this person anymore.

Below are a few pictures of what the box looks like and also a shot of these delecible cakes . I am really looking for a box of 6 donuts like in the second picture however I would not pass up the two packs either.

If anyone out there may be able to help me locate a couple of these boxes (and possibly be my little supplier ) I will make it well worth thier while!

I might add that I am also willing to cross-ship some other snack item that anyone else may be looking for. I see that some people are looking for Drakes items and I have access to Devil Dogs, Yodels, Drakes Cakes, etc.

Let's make a deal!

Can no one find these?? Could it be that Hostess stopped making them and they are gone forever?!?!? AAAAAHHHHH!!!! Say it ain't so!

Bumping this back to the top with fingers and toes crossed!

I'll look at the local grocery store(s) amongst my travels and see if they're available here... Worse comes to worse Krispy Kreme can probably come to the rescue!

Hmm well I haven't really looked for them, but I most certianly remember having them in the past. They were pretty good from what I can recall. We had hostess stores here before, but I have no clue what happened to them(or if they even still exist). I'll keep it in mind and see if I can find any.

I'm in SE, PA btw.

Thanks for the replies. Like I said, I would be truely grateful if I could get a couple boxes of these. I would pay for all shipping plus a little for your troubles!

Just drop me a email anytime!

Thanks!!

Hi, I too have been searching for the raspberry filled donuts. Basically they are only sold in a couple of places now. Believe me, I miss them very much. They are all over Utah and in Bueford South carolina. I tried to find a way to email Hostess and see if they would sell me some, but all I find is a twinkie web sight. It's been 8 years now for me and when I go back to Utah next year, I plan on buying the whole state up. I'm willing to take orders for a fee. I'll be going in February. Lynne

I live around the corner from a Wonder/Hostess thrift store, so I figured it was worth popping by to check on my way home from work. Bingo! I've got a box in my car. Let me know where you want me to send them. It'll be my RamaHanuKwanzMas present to you.

I'm sure you'll always be open to more, right Geed? If I happen to find boxes and boxes and have no clue what to do with them

Geed?
Last call for raspberry Hostess donuts!
I'm going to open this box up to the wolves in the break room.
You might call the Wonder Hostess Thrift Shop in Campbell, CA (408-377-6771) and see if they'll mail you some. The gal behind the counter was pleasant enough, so you might get lucky. With the donuts, that is.
Enjoy!

Yes! Yes! What are the details!! Me want donuts!! lol! I never received anyones email - I wasn't checking this post for replies, doh! I guess I could try calling that number. Do you really think they will ship? I will pay $20 (and shipping cost) for 2 boxes of the donuts!! email me: compgeed at snet dot net

I just saw your post, Geed, and will be happy to look about my area for these donuts. For years I've been shipping sorghum syrup to friends at cost (42 quarts one year), and I have friends who ship me Blue Plate mayo, Indian River grapefuit, a cane syrup cooked in the Florida panhandle, and Polish sausage from a Chicago deli.

If they're to be found here, we'll get them for you anytime, at cost only.

We understand.

Hi Greed,

I too, was on the "hunt" for these donuts, and as luck would have it, I received 2 boxes yesterday in the mail as a Christmas present from my uncle who knew That I was looking for them. I live in Indiana now, and all of my family still live in Calif. (they send me things all the time), especially the things that I can't get here. Anyway, the name of the store in Calif. that sells them is Stater Bros. If you want a telephone # I can get it for you or one of my family members can send you whatever you want anytime. Just let me know. Have a peace filled holiday!

Thanks for all the responses! I know sooner or later I'll get to enjoy a few of these. Remember, if anyone is looking for anything particular that I might be able to supply, please let me know and I will do my best to help out!!

OK, I'll try to remember to swing by and pick up some more.
Hell, for $20 I'm sure the girl at the bakery thrift store would do it...

I don't know exactly where in the NorthEast you are, so I'm not sure what you could get for me.
Huevos Rancheros from The Friendly Toast?
A slice from Benny Tudino's (folded into a big manila envelope, of course)?
Unfortunately, I'm not that partial to TastyKakes, Sky Bars, Wise, Utz or any of that stuff. Maybe maple sugar candy or a decent eggplant parm sandwich...
Oh, I'll just do it for the karma.

Unfortunately, I did not find your donuts in Lexington stores. Hang in there, Geed; you'll find some.

Way to come thru capnhank!! I got your email and I am anxiously awaiting the powdered covered, jelly filled gems! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

It's my pleasure!
According to my tracking info, you should see them tomorrow or Saturday.
Dig in!! We'll be expecting a full report, of course...

They are available here in Arizona! I believe the price is $2.99 per box.

THEY ARRIVED!!! I am enjoying one of the tasty donuts as I type this! It's been a loooong time since I've had these...mmmmmm.....



Hahaha..... I couldn't help myself and had to post this pic. I figure everyone would get a big kick out of it.

THANKS AGAIN!!!!

I'm scared.

Soooo happy you got your donuts I tried looking around here in Arkansas and couldn't find them the lady at the Hostess Bakery Shop here in town said she had heard of them but they had never shipped any down here! Maybe one day I will get to try them ;) lol ENJOY!

So that's what the white powder was on everyone's upper lip at all those parties in the 80s...

Hello all.. I am so happy I found this site.

I have been looking for these "Hostess O's" or Raspberry Filled donuts for a while.

CAPNHANK or DTE3672 it looks like you might have access to some of these. if either of you guys or anyone else that could help would
e-mail me yffffonz at hotmail dot com that whould be great!

I would be more than grateful to reimburse you for your helpfulness.

Thanks in advance.

I must admit after reading this thread that I MUST seek and find these donuts. I have never seen them before, but if they drive people to such lengths to find them, they have to be good!

it's been a long time... i remember them being delicious... but i'm looking for my girlfriend. she told me she loved them but hasn't seen them around for many years.
i figured it could only help matters if i find them... ;)

This past Saturday i was at my local Hostess outlet store and they had chocolate covered raspberry filled donuts.I will try to get back there this Saturday and see what else they have.
Mary

I also had been looking for these hostess raspberry filled donuts and finally found them just last week at 7-11 in Brooklyn, NY. Unfortunately, they are selling them in individual packages, but that works for me for now.

Well, the craving is starting once more. I'd sure like to find these donuts again. I'm begining to think that the powder coating is something more than confectioner sugar...hahaha.

If anyone can ship me a box of these donuts please email me at: compgeed at snet dot net

YES!!

Thanks for the info! I had searched for these on ebay in the past without any luck. Who would of thought that someone would actually be auctioning off donuts on ebay!!! It's almost as if the auction was created just for me! Hahaha!!

-Geed

did you ever find those chocolate covered raspberry donuts? and if you did, where do you get it from? I would love to try them
thanks

Wow I can't believe I found this site. Looks like there's others out there with the same dilemma as me. I used to be able to get these donuts on a store near my house, even chocolate ones with rasberry inside, but they stopped getting them eventually (can't see why though as I bought all they had every time I went there). If anyone out there knows where I can get them, please email me at 'tylerdurden389@yahoo.com'. Thanks.

Awesome! Just ordered 2 boxes. It's been about 6 months since I last got these off ebay last year so I think it's about time to treat myself again!

THANKS!!!

How'd these Donuts work out? did they taste as good as the always have?

-chocodile

Am equally happy that chocodiles website had orange cupcakes!!! I LOVE those. Don't remember them too often from Hostess, mostly remember them as a Jane Parker product at A&P as a kid. (Now showing age....)

The donuts worked out great! I got 2 boxes and received them within a week of ordering. They came perfectly packed, undamaged and fresh. Truely a deal for me since there would be no other way of getting them. I'd place another order but I am trying to watch what I eat these days. Hopefully they will still be available in a few more months when I will be ready for more!

Thanks for the offer but I just got 2 boxes from freshchocodiles.com not too long ago. I actually went out and bought 2 vacuum seal food storage containers just for these. I have 6 vacuum packed and cryogenically frozen in my freezer to be re-animated around Christmas time and enjoyed!

Those Raspberry Donuts come and go. Perhaps a seasonal item or something. Just like the Lil' Angels.
The Apple cupcakes were one of my favorite Hostess cakes, but they soon disappeared from New York City. However, when I go to other cities, they still have them.

I was gonna say the same thing.That red stuff in there makes me happy i've not seen those in years!If i want a doughnut,i'll buy a doughnut!

Safeway carries them here in the Pacific Northwest.

After going through all these topics I called my sister in MT. and she is sending me a "care package" of Idaho Spud - Hostess O's Raspberry filled Donuts - Chocodiles and Hostess Blackberry Pies
I also went searching and found TastyKakes

In New Jersey, I can find the Hostess Lemon Pies and the Apple Pies, but I can't find the blackberry pies. Anyone know why? Aren't they all baked on the West Coast?
The Bear

I went to the freshChocodiles.com website and they sell the blackberry pies there. They come in orders of 10 pies a batch and boy were they delicious. Actually a month after I ordered them I received another set of 10 pies that I hadn't ordered. When I contacted them they replied that it was a shipping mistake and they were mine to keep. When people make mistakes like that somehow it seems to be easily forgiven. Those are the kinds of mistakes you wish people made more often.

My sister in MT. has 1 small country store .. they were having trouble getting the chocodiles in ... so I asked a friend on vacation in Las Vegas to pick me up a box if she could .. she finds 1 opened box of chocoldiles in a convenience store .. they were selling them individually .. she had to pay by the chocdile not by the box .. then she didn't have time to get back to hotel before the Celine Dion/Elton John/Jerry seinfeld benefit her and her hubby were seeing for anniversary ... they had to go through security all items were looked at and they were told they could not bring the chocodiles in(make your own chocodile=crocodile rock comments).. they were told they could not hold them for them .. they tried all over the hotel gift shop salon etc. .. her hubby kept saying throw the damn things away they are a twinkie and he had paid 1,000's of $$ for tickets.. she said no way she had to keep them for me .. they ended up paying a girl in a coffee shop 10$ to keep them till after show .. so in the end it would have been just as cheap to order them off EBAY ..... 3 days later my sisters small store got them in stock .. all this for a choc. covered Twinkie that I didn't even like .. I gave em to my mom ... shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Somewhere in this thread, I put a link to order the Blackberry ones online....Too tired right now to find the exact reply where it is..

Oops, I meant there is a link to ordering them online.
So so tired here, I cant think straight... I will be back this weekend.
Snore.. time to snooze right now...

I have finished off half a box of the Hostess O's .. yummmmmm

the blackberry pies weren't anything special .. And the Idaho Spuds tasted like cocoa dirt ugghhhhhhhh

I, too, love these squishy, powdery, raspberry-y, tantalizing tori.

However, ever since I moved from the west coast to Virginia, I have been searching for a supplier. I never did find one, except for an occasional thoughtful visitor bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and a pack or two of Hostess Raspberry Filled Donuts (well, maybe not the gold and frankincense). If you knew me, you would know that I believe in donuts as much as I believe in anything religious...but, I have to say that the next story just might have been a small miracle.

My wife and I were all dressed up and on our way out to celebrate our seventh wedding anniversary. We were in Alexandria, VA, and I had to run into a 7-Eleven to get a pack of gum or something. I could not believe my eyes when I looked down and saw right before me, two small packs of the object of our collective desire in this forum! It could not have been. Yet, it was! I snapped them up faster than you can lick your lips and brought them out to the car with a great big smile. My wife knew how much I loved them and how I simpy could not find them anywhere out here. As sad and pathetic as it must sound, I can't remember anything else about that night--just the excitement of stumbling on those donuts and sharing them and the moment with my wife. The next day I went back to see if they had any more but, alas, they did not. Over the next couple weeks I would stop by here and there but nothing ever turned up. In fact, when I asked the employees about them, nobody even remembered having seen them. Maybe it was a miracle, an anniversary gift from the gods.

are u willing to ship them to me in texas before valentines day

I've been looking for these things for over a decade! I haven't been able to find them anywhere, and even the chocodiles site doesn't carry them any more.

Why aren't these amazingly delicious things more available? Why doesn't Hostess get with the 90's and make it possible to order everything they sell over the net to anyone who wants them?

They're just throwing money away...

You can order a few Hostess things here:
http://www.hometown-treats.com/

I feel for you guys. I live in the west and hostess is all over the place. I buy the Jelly Filled all the time for $2 a box on sale! I remember when these first came out and they were called Hostess Oh's. They came in two flavors, raspberry and grape.

You guys might try here for contact info and to find a store in your area:

I went to in the 80's.

No, they're not currently available at the Fresh Chocodiles site... which is why I posted here.

I don't undrestand why these things aren't more available, or aren't at least available for order on the internet.

Hello! Hostess? Come on into the new millenium! I want to buy your products! Why aren't you letting me?

This may be a redundant question BUT have y'all tried any of the Hostess outlet stores? I have one catty-cornered to me and I saw them there today along with lemon, blueberry and strawberry at a dollar a package.

I go there to pick up their Table Talk brand pecan pies. I rarely eat commercial mass produced pies, but these are darned good.......not just sweet but very buttery tasting and very fresh pecans. At 3.69 a pie, they are nifty to have on hand for unexpected company. Their bageltime bagels aren't bad either and authentically boiled.

Nope... none of the local outlet stores carries these donuts. I don't think they are available anywhere in the eastern half of the United States at all! In the past few years when I have been on vacations and business trips I have checked around and still cannot find any of these.... Nova Scotia - nope, Scottsdale AZ - nada, Chicago IL - nuthin', Sarasota FL - none, Montreal Canada - MIA.

I unthawed a couple of the frozen vacuumed packed donuts I put away from my last order and they're not the same - kinda dried out now and the flavor is gone. Time to start looking around again.....

I don't even know where one finds a "Hostess Outlet Store" ... I live in Texas. I've never seen or heard of such a thing.

Can SOMEONE please wake up Hostess to the demand here, and get them to put their stuff on line for shipping all over the US, so we can give them our money, and they can give us our fix??
