Hostess is rolling out new Twinkies in time for fall, with a new flavor on the way.

Pumpkin spice Twinkies returned to store shelves in August alongside five other limited-edition, fall-inspired snack cakes, Hostess said in a news release.

The fan favorites are back for a limited time and include:

  • Hostess iced pumpkin CupCakes
  • Hostess maple glazed Donettes

The seasonal treats are available in both single-serve and multipacks.

This year, the Kansas-based snack cake brand is also launching a Halloween lineup set to arrive in stores in September, according to the release. Among the new treats is a “spooky” Twinkie featuring a chocolate sponge cake and vanilla creme filling.

Hostess’ new Halloween lineup includes FrankenCakes, Spooky Twinkies and ScaryCakes, the brand said.
