Twinkie Recipes and Twinkie Cake Pans
Make Your Own Twinkie Creme Filled Cakes
If you've found this page, you've undoubtedly heard the news that the company that makes Hostess Twinkies has closed their doors and gone out of business. If you, like many others are mourning the loss of one of America's most famous and infamous junk foods - don't despair! Although slightly smaller in size than the original, Twinkies went back into production and are now available again.
However if you would like to try an alternative that may be tastier or healthier, I have found several Twinkie recipes that I'm sharing on this page. Among the recipes I found include healthier Twinkies, organic Twinkies or even vegan Twinkies.(Photo credit: Christian Cable on Flickr- creative commons license)
