IRVING, Texas – If you’ve been craving a Twinkie but in ice cream form, then crave no more. A Twinkie-flavored ice cream has begun cropping up in a few store freezers ahead of its official mid-February launch, Fox News reports.

Hostess Brands teamed up with Nestle to create three new ice cream flavors based on snack cakes. Twinkies features a buttercream ice cream base and sponge cake frosted with a vanilla swirl. SnoBalls and CupCake ice cream flavors are also available.

The ice cream versions will be sold at Dollar General stores as well as convenience stores. However, Hostess indicated that the ice cream treats wouldn’t be around long, with a limited run scheduled to end in May.

This isn’t the first time Hostess has reinvented its popular snack cake. In August, the company partnered with Walmart to sell deep-fried Twinkies in two flavors: Original Golden and Chocolate. The frozen-then-toasted at home snack cakes had a three-month exclusive run at Walmart before expanding to other retailers.
