You're this much closer to getting your Twinkies fix

A bankruptcy judge has given final approval for the sale of Twinkies, Wonder Bread and many of Hostess Brands' other assets, clearing the way for the iconic products to return to shelves.
Hostess snacks - including Twinkies, Ho Hos, Ding Dongs and Zingers - were sold for $410 million to a joint venture of private equity firms Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co. They expect to return the product to store shelves this summer. 

Wonder Bread and most of Hostess' other bread brands was purchased by baker Flowers Foods for $360 million. The company has yet to give a date for when those breads will be back in stores. On Thursday, Judge Robert Drain also approved the $31.9 million sale of the Beefsteak bread brand to baker Grupo Bimbo, a Mexico-based company that is one of the largest U.S. bakers.

Wow!!!  I can't wait for Wonder Bread to be back because the sorry excuse for bread my Mom has been purchasing as a replacement, just isn't cutting it.   I don't mind that Ding Dongs are back, I don't eat them often but they are sorta yummy.  I'm more of a Little Debbie's kinda girl!!
