Speaking of Twinkies, here's a funny website for Twinkie lovers (or Twinkie haters).

You've got to try Josh's recipe for Twinkie Tiramisu, before you turn your noses up. I admit
some of the recipes ARE tacky, but this one is a real winner!!!

REC: Twinkie Tiramisu (can't believe I made this, but it's really GOOD and EASY!)
We saw this on the Travel Channel a week or
so ago and chuckled about it. Then, a couple
of days ago, I thought, "Laura probably
doesn't like Tiramisu, because she doesn't
like coffee flavor in her desserts, but at
least this will be easy...and who knows?"
So I made it. Other than the chilling time
involved, it takes only minutes to put
together. And surprise, we LOVE it! Laura
doesn't like the alcoholic taste (between
the rum and Kahlua, there's a full cup of
liquor in it), but she loved it otherwise
and I think it's excellent.
We're freezing some of it to try it that
way, as the recipe suggests.
TWINKIE TIRAMISU
Ingredients:
1 box of Twinkies (10)
16 oz of Ricotta cheese
8 oz of Mascarpone cheese
1 lb of Powdered Sugar
2 oz of Dark Rum
6 oz of Kahlua
1 Hershey's Chocolate Bar (milk or dark
chocolate)
1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
Method:
Line a 9" x 13" x 3" pan (or similar size)
with Twinkies. Distribute for even coverage.
Drizzle Twinkies with Kahlua and let them
soak.
Next, combine Ricotta and Marscapone with a
large spoon until smooth. Slowly begin to
add Powdered Sugar (reserve 1/8th package of
sugar for garnish) and whisk until mixture
is smooth but heavy. Add Dark Rum and
continue to whisk until fully combined and
mixture is fuller and lighter. Taste mixture
for desired sweetness (do not add more rum
or Tiramisu will not set properly).
Pour cheese mixture evenly over Twinkies in
pan, use a soft spatula to smooth mixture
and distribute in-between Twinkies and into
corners. Cover and place pan in refrigerator
for four hours to set.
To finish, sprinkle Cocoa Powder liberally
over top of Tiramisu. Then grate Chocolate
Bar and drizzle shavings over the top as
well. To serve, cut into pieces and dust
with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
For something different, try Frozen Twinkie
Tiramisu by freezing overnight (just
remember to cut pieces out with a hot,
butter knife) it's decadent!

I hate to confess it but I don't think I've ever actually eaten a Twinkie.
I remember when they first came out (yes I'm that old) but there were also something called Devil Dogs which were chocolate and that much more attractive. Sometime later they made Funny Bones which had a peanut butter filling and chocolate cake and frosting and I was hooked. A few years ago I finally succumbed after fifty years or so of abstaining and had a Funny Bones--it was disgusting!
Never had a Twinkie--white cake with crisco stuffing never seemed that appealing.

Aajay, they don't sell Drake's Cakes here on the West Coast, and my son became enamored of
Devil Dogs on a trip a few years ago to Florida. His Grandma sent him a care package of them to him from New York. smileys/smile.gif
My DH still likes Funny Bones, I think it is a holdover from childhood. He only has them when we visit his parents in NY.

Not here. Those flakie things...Joe Louis...or something. I remember them from Quebec when I was 16
though. I gained 12 pounds on them. I can't remember the real name of them since it was soooo long ago. They sure were good though.
(and a little camembert)
We do have some new versions of them now in the other part of Canada.

Nothing real or natural about them, but when they're frozen, they turn into something else. LOL

I once prepared a recipe called "undescended twinkies" for a theme party(more)
This was twinkies set into a jello/sherbert mix.
The twinkies were added after the jello/sherbert mix started setting, so that the twinkies were partially sunk into the mixture.
Sounds as bad as it looked, but was fun to make and watch other people's reaction.
