Hosting With Hostess

This morning I was saddened to hear and see that Hostess Brands will be gone for good. What a shock! Hostess has been around for such a long time and now they will cease to exist.

Imagine all of the children who have squealed with delight only to find some delectable Hostess delight in their lunch bag at school. Maybe for others, it was a treat that magically appeared when staying with Grandma and Grandpa. Oh, think of all of the fun and delights that went along with these wonderful little sweet cakes of joy.

But what about now? Here is an idea, so that your children or grandchildren never forget Hostess. Put together a children's tea party. Remember, sweets and tea have been together for along time and compliment each other very well.  As you plan your tea party keep in mind the simpler the better. Using Hostess products makes the tea party easy as pie to put together. Ho-hos can be sliced using a serrated knife and arranged on a plate that will bring intrigue to most anyone. Twinkies, Ding- Dongs, and Zingers can be nicely stacked on a separate plates. Now all that's left to be done is to pick the tea and set the table. For this occasion, I would recommend either our Up North! or Christmas Star tea.

It is quite possible too, that you might want to have your own party with your own friends, who want to have a nostalgic moment. What fun to have a whole bunch of your adult friends get together for an afternoon of smiles and laughing while enjoying Twinkies, Ding-Dongs, and Ho-Hos. Chances are the little kid in you will come out once again. As for tea recommendations, the sky is the limit. For adults any black tea goes well with chocolate, especially Earl Grey. Since we are near the holidays our green tea Moroccan Mint with peppermint would pair well, as would our other green tea,Cherry Blossom.

So take some time out of your hectic schedule and bring a little joy to some children or yourself and friends through tea and Hostess treats.
