Copycat recipes are so much fun! I love experimenting with making homemade versions of popular packaged snacks. Sure it's a little less convenient, but if you love being in the kitchen you no doubt get a kick out of recreating your favorite treats right at home. I've put together a round-up of some awesome copycat versions of Hostess snack cakes.
