HOSTESS makes some of the most iconic snacks in the country, but not all of the stick around forever.

Among the classic snack food like the filled cupcakes and Ding Dongs, are special items that only stick around for a limited time.

Fans adore these special treats, but it can be hard to part with them.

The U.S. Sun rounded up four of the most missed Hostess treats.

1. DEEP FRIED TWINIKIES

People had been deep-frying their Twinkies for years before Hostess debuted this snack.

The company partnered with Walmart to create a flash-fried Twinkie that was then frozen and sold to customers.

Shoppers could prepare it in the oven or air frying in less than 10 minutes.

Unfortunately, it was only a limited run and fans will have to go back to doing it themselves.

2. BAKERY PETITES

The company capitalized on the idea of portable snacks when it introduced the bite-sized snack.

There were three types; Crispi Thins, Brownie Delights, and Cake Delights.

Each one had multiple flavors, but each one was essentially a cake or brownie filled with some kind of fudge or fruity flavor, coated in chocolate.

Despite initial success, in 2019 Hostess officials admitted the product's future was uncertain.

"We just haven't overinvested in it to grow. We thought the best thing to do was learn from it and then incorporate those learnings into the next platform," said president and chief executive officer, Andrew Callahan.

3. TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES PIES

Hear us out on this one, it's not as crazy as it sounds.

This was just like any other Hostess pie, but it was filled with vanilla pudding and covered in a green glaze.

Despite the fact they were only out for a promotional run in 1990, there are still tons of people talking about them.

Earlier this year, fans said the pies were "otherworldly" and "pure sugary magic."

4. CANDY BAR BROWNIES

Back in 2016 Hostess and Mars Chocolate came together in a glorious collaboration to add chunks of candy bars to brownies.

Customers could get brownies loaded with bits of Milky Way, Butterfinger, and M&M's.

However, fans were not impressed.

"These Butterfinger Hostess brownies were a huge letdown and I'm so sad about it," tweeted one disappointed fan.
