 | | "Twinkies are an American icon and they have a life of their own," Redd said, adding that the deep-fried Twinkie concept was being marketed to various state fairs. |
 | | The brothers said they sold about 10 deep-fried Twinkies for every deep-fried candy bar. |
 | | Originally, the Mullens only sold the deep-fried chocolate-covered candies, but added Twinkies after being approached by Hostess, the baking brand owned by Kansas City, Missouri-based Interstate Bakeries Corp. "We are very excited about it," said Mike Redd, vice president of cake marketing at Interstate Bakeries. |
