"You might think that the test bakers here at King Arthur pursue the loftiest of goals, culinarily speaking. 100% whole wheat bread. The perfect simple sugar cookie. Whole-grain oatmeal muffins. Well yeah; we do. But we also become wildly enthusiastic over cream puffs, fudge brownies, and pizza. And cloning famous snack cakes, always a fun-filled project. We recently held a Snack Cake Smackdown in the kitchen. Fellow bloggers Mary Jane Robbins, Susan Reid, and myself vied for the honor of Snack Cake Queen. The winner has yet to be crowned; we're having too much fun to end the competition. But for the time being, the following is my favorite Smackdown entry: Choco-Buzz, a clone of Hostess' 1980s-era Choco-Bliss. Gone, but not forgotten... and now reborn, bigger and better than ever. One final note: My thanks to Susan for her chocolate filling recipe, which I've put to good use in these cakes. Thank goodness this is a FRIENDLY competition!
