When the “heroes in a half-shell” came out with their second movie, there were tie-ins aplenty. Released alongside the rocking action in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 were Hostess Ninja Turtle Pudding Pies. Where these pies generally had “fruit” and were a 90s version of a healthy snack, the TMNT version featured a green outer shell and vanilla pudding cream inside, this munchie lover’s dream and our second MFMP (commercial included!).
In addition to being a delicious snack, these pies came with a TRADING CARD! That’s right a card with Donatello (my fav), Leonardo and the other turtles or Shredder or Splinter, maybe even April O’Neil on them that I could put along my baseball and marvel trading cards and save and hopefully sell for tons of money!
Unfortunately these snacks were sold for a very limited time and rumor is their apple and blueberry filled cousins are no longer being sold by Hostess either. A MFMP that will always remain near and dear to me, Turtle Cream Pudding Pies truly were one of a kind. You can enjoy their awesome ad below.

Completely awesome, I remember buying these things at the lunch line when I was in elementary school. The ones our school had weren’t the ones with the green outer shell but the ones that had the pudding colored green. I remember it being one of my favorite things to snack on during the time they were available.
These were the best. They came with 5 different yellow stickers first… 1 of each individual turtle and 1 with all of them on it. You can buy a set of them on eBay for like $12. The next wave had 5 random shots from TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze. I’ll never forget going to the Hostess store just to get the stickers!
Awesome memory! I actually had a faint memory of them about 7 years ago, and I decided I needed to learn more. I now own all of the original packaging artwork and marketing materials from the TMNT Pies. I’ve also met the man who developed the pies for Hostess (and asked him SO MANY questions). As another person has commented, some people remember a different variety of the pie. I can say with 100% certainty that such a pie never existed. They were always green outer shell with vanilla pudding in the middle. It’s easy to mis-remember something from 30 years ago. Anyhow, great job with the article! Anyhow, great job on the article and cowabunga dude!
