Twinkie Recipes!

Wednesday February 1st, 2012

Twinkies on a Stick:
Ingredients:
1 (24 ounce) box Hostess Twinkies (they come in a 10 pack)
1 (16 ounce) package milk chocolate confectionary coating (your choice) or 1 (16 ounce) package white candy coating (your choice) or 1 (16 ounce) package dark chocolate confectionary coating (your choice)
10 candy apple sticks
Colored sprinkles or toasted coconut or miniature M&M baking bits or chopped Oreo cookies or drizzle with chocolate.

Directions:
1. Unwrap twinkies and place a candy apple stick into each one so it looks like a popsicle.
2. Place each on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet and freeze until firm.
3. Melt the chocolate on top of a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth.
4. Dip twinkies, one at a time, coating completely and returning to waxed paper. Top with desired topping before the chocolate dries (that is why it important to do one at a time).
5. Continue until all are dipped and decorated.
6. Allow to dry completely before wrapping or serving.
7. Note: if you have chocolate left you can save it for another use or dip something else you may have on hand like pretzels, oreos or marshmallows.

Twinkie Turkey
Ingredients:
1 (8 1/2 ounce) package yellow corn muffin mix, prepared and baked according to package instructions
6 Twinkies halves lengthwise
1 (14-18-pound) turkey
1 tart apple, peeled, cored and diced
1/4 cup honey

Directions:
1. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Scrape the creme-filling out of the Twinkies with a small spoon and reserve in small bowl.
3. Cut the Twinkie pastry into cubes and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 – 10 minutes, until lightly toasted. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Decrease the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
4. Rinse the turkey. Crumble muffins into a bowl, add the apple and toasted Twinkies and mix lightly. Loosely stuff the mixture into the turkey and truss the legs. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack set in a roasting pan. Roast the turkey for 12 to 15 minutes per pound, until the thigh temperature reaches 175 degrees to 180 degrees and the juices run clear.
5. In a small bowl, combine the honey with the reserved creme filling and mix well. Brush the turkey with the honey mixture during the last ten to fifteen minutes of roasting time.
6. Remove the turkey from the oven and let stand for 20 minutes before carving.

Serves 15 – 20.

Twinkie Sushi

3 hostess twinkies
Dried fruits (assorted)
Candies (assorted fruity decorative like Swedish Fish)
2 fruit (green, leather)
Dried mango (pickled ginger)
Fruit Roll-ups

Directions:
1. Slice Twinkies into pieces about an inch tall.
2. Slice fruit rollups in strips to be long enough and wide enough to wrap around the Twinkie pieces.
3. Place dried fruits and candies into the cream filling.
4. Place Twinkie rolls on a plate

6. Serve with chopsticks.

Twinkie Tiramisu
Ingredients:
8 cream-filled sponge cakes (recommended: Twinkies)
1 cup espresso or strong coffee, unsweetened
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/3 cup sugar
2 (8 3/4-ounce) packages mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
Yellow food coloring
10 vanilla wafers

Directions:
1. Cut the sponge cakes in half lengthwise and fit the bottom halves into a 7 by 11-inch pan. Drizzle half the coffee over them.
2. Whip the cream to soft peaks and sweeten it with the sugar. Whisk the mascarpone cheese a bit to loosen it and fold in the whipped cream.
3. Pour half of this mixture over the sponge cakes and spread it out evenly. Make another layer with the tops of the sponge cakes and drizzle them with the remaining coffee.
4. Mix about 10 drops of food coloring into the remaining cream mixture, enough to make it the same yellow color as the sponge cakes. Spread this evenly over the sponge cakes.
5. Coarsely crush the vanilla wafers and scatter them over the top.
6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Ingredients:

  1. Pretty component of content. I just stumbled upon your blog and in accession capital to say that I get actually enjoyed account your blog posts. Anyway I’ll be subscribing on your feeds and even I fulfillment you get admission to constantly fast.

  2. Hi Wendy, my name is Katrice. Just the other day I bought the new lemon twinkies because I just love love love Twinkies and I was wondering why the little white cardboard wasn’t in the package because I love scraping the leftover cake off so that I can eat it. So I exclaimed to my mother “oh maybe their cutting cost” and she said “yes you know their going bankrupt” and I felt so sad inside. I had no idea, she said that you were trying to save them and I think that is so beautiful because Twinkies mean alot to so many people it’s a big part of my childhood I have to have my twinkies. This news is so devastating.I do have an idea for a new twinkie flavor. Since they have the strawberry, lemon, chocolate, banana. They haven’t tried doing a devils food twinkie with the original creme inside. If you could let Hostess in on this idea it would be great I would love to eat one. Love ya Wendy <3<3

  3. Thank you Wendy for the Twinkie Ideas. My daughter will be celebrating her 1st birthday and I have been looking for unique ideas and my husband and I both watched the Twinkie segment and both of our lightbulbs lit up! Yes we will be having the twinkie Sushies and the chocolate covered twinkies…Oh How nice! We love you! Thanks again and yes we are helping to save the Twinkies! :)

  4. Loved the Twinkie Chef! Tonight the girls got together & made the milkshakes on your show…BUT since we are all over 21, I soaked the Twinkies in a Kahlua, vodka, & Bailey’s mix and instead of malt powder I used Whoppers candy and chocolate syrup. Oh holy malt balls were they awesome! I would have never thought of adding the Twinkie if not for your chef! We have named our new drink “Wendy’s Twinkie-Slide” Loves!

  5. Can’t wait to try these twinkie receipes for my grandchildren (and Me). I have loved twinkies forever, why didn’t I ever think to do some of these receipes? Love your show.

  7. Love the Chef that you had on today for the Twinkies! Bring him back! Make him a regular! Love, love, love him!

  8. Wendy: Twinkies make great strawberry or blueberry shortcake.
    Cut them in half and scoop out 1/2 cream. Fill with your blend of strawberries, blueberries, or even cutup peaches. It helps when the fruit is in smaller piecesand there is some juice to put on top. At the top of it all, replace the leftover soft creme on top! Everyone likes this special treat.
