Minnetonka’s Heavenly Hunks Introduces Dupe Loops

The mini donuts join the brand’s allergen-friendly lineup of snacks. Heavenly Hunks evolved out of a simple mission: to create a cookie for everyone. Founder Casey Webber adapted his recipe for soft-baked oatmeal cookies to be vegan and gluten-free so his mom and sister could enjoy them too. Now, over a decade later, Heavenly Hunks is available nationwide, and the Minnetonka-based brand has introduced a new but equally inclusive snack for people with dietary sensitivities.

Next Year a Twin Cities Brewery is Going Full ‘Simpsons’ Mode

As the DVDs, ripe with so much fan-service commentary, arrived in the '00s, he secured every available season, one through 20.
