When I was around 12 or 13, my grandmother used to give me Hostess Chocodiles as an afternoon snack. Admittedly, these were unusual treats. I had never seen them in stores. But nevertheless, she had them. What is a chocodile? It is essentially a chocolate covered Twinkee. But for some reason, the combination of the two was greater than the sum of its parts. So about a week ago I was feeling particularly nostalgic so I contacted the Interstate Bakeries company about the whereabouts of the Chocodile.
According to their email response, Chocodiles are now only produced on the west coast. They did direct me to sites that offer quick and efficient delivery of the confection. But why does there need to be a middle man? There is a Hostess factory in KC. When I get to the left coast someday, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for this guy.
