I got the munchies... Article 2: The twinkie affair's: Part 1

In this article we will be starting a hopefully three part mini-series entitled "What can ya do with a twinkie?"

Twinkie's, golden spongy creamy and delicious. How could one improve upon this angelic little angelfood snack? By shoving stuff in there till that little twinkie cake is ready to blow!

This snack we will simply call the double stuffed twinkie. There are a number of things you can use to double stuff your twinkie. For example you can go classic with a can of "whipped cream" for extra whipped deliciousness! It is pretty simple just take the can of whipped cream and insert the nozzle into the "holes" on the underside of the twinkie. (It's advisable to take it out of the wrapper first!) Then tap the whipped cream nozzle a few times with an smooth action like you are popping a clutch. You can hold down the nozzle for a quick fill if you so desire but I find that method typically causes the spongecake to explode, or at minimum burst. Or if you would like to knock it up a notch follow instructions above but supplement the whipped cream with Pillsbury (or any brand available) frosting in a can! Nothing like chocolate frosting/vanilla cream twinkie. Wanna go fancy? Serve it over bananna cream pudding with a medium strawberry and a harty drizzle of chocolate syrup then you got yourself some gourmet shit'. Excuse my vernacular's.

And finally my personal favorite method for double stuffing a twinkie, with a miniature kit-kat bar! Here is how ya get this delicious treat... open the twinkie wrapper as if you were unpeeling a bannana only exposing the first half inch or so of the twinkie. Take a knife and cut off the end quarter inch, or to the point of the twinkie that is level. As in as soon as the twinkie goes level just on the edge of the curve. Or if you are making these for yourself and have no intent to share just bite off the twinkie section in question. After that take a "fun size" kit kat bar and break off one of the "pieces" or "sticks". Shove the fun size kit kat bar into the creamy center of the twinkie, and I hope you left most of the wrapper on! As you insert the kit-kat bar the twinkie will swell, but if you kept it in it's wrapper as mentioned above with the bannana peel style of opening then as the twinkie swell's in the cellophane it will cause the contents inside of the twinkie to spread evenly instead of popping open like a pinata.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmm... delicious... I can feel arteries clogging just thinking about this delicious snack. Speaking of clogging arteries here is my token acknowledgment to nutritional information.

To start off the twinkie itself is around 150 calories per cake, with 4 1/2 Grams of fat. 2 and 1/2 being just saturated fat's. (Yummmmmmmmm.... but not good for ya.) 18 Grams of sugar and close to less than 10% of ones daily value of Sodium, Cholestrol and Carbohydrates based on a 2000 calorie diet.

Exact info: Cholestrol 20Mg, Sodium 220Mg 27G's of Carb's.

So there is the twinkie itself, now just add in the nutrition information (don't forget the serving size in your math!) of whatever you will be stuffing your twinkie with. Soon I hope to just upload the nutrition charts so ya all can look at it yourselves.

Well folks... I got the munchies. But as I make a move on I would like to ask, what will you be stuffing in your twinkie? Got an innovative filler? Let us know! Got an idea for a food review? Post it! All idea's considered. Till next time everyone!

I always keep em around, my wife calls them "my anxiety food". Nothing like that angelcakey goodness to take the edge off when your stressed out, well except for the sensation of a york peppermint patty

Thanks for stopping in Sunni, going to probably review something I saw in the baking food aisle next then on to part two of three on the many many things one can do with a twinkie!
