twinkies

Here is a recipe for icing or filling in case you want it. My mother inlaw uses it for cake icing. 1/4 pound uncoloured margarine 1/2 cup Crisco shortening 1 cup sugar 3/4 c evaporated milk 1 teaspoon vanilla Put all in a deep bowl and beat with electric mixer for 8-10 minutes., till fluffy and no trace of grittiness remains. Test by rubbing some of the mixture between thumb and finger. I have used this recipe in a jelly roll, along with a thin layer of raspberry jam. Delicious. It is excellent for writing messages on cakes, and it freezes very well.

Ummm 39 ingrediants, well that tells me they forgot to take the calories out before packaging. Grandpa Bob you really did have too much time on your hands the day you discovered a twinkie would blow up in 45 seconds. Yes what a mess that must have been, but nowhere does it say Grandma Deb had the mess to clean so that was good to NOT hear. As usual you did it again we all had a good laugh...

Yummy, it's twinkies! That was such a high school addiction for me. I've stayed away from those golden delicious snacks. Although, if I come across a fried twinkie I will give it a try. I've heard of some places that fry up thier twinkies but ggod for me, I'm not near one. Happy twinkie eating!

I tried the link you put here, as I don't know what a twinkie is? But the link didn't work.

I actually never tasted a twinkie in my life Grandpa Bob and I would love to have some..LOL. It looks like the one we have here in my country, the Fudgee bar.

There are recipes for twinkies? wow! Gonna have to check it out and bookmark that site. We love twinkies along with the hostess cupcakes and ho-hos. Would be great to make something with them. Thanks Grandpa Bob for the links. :-)

It takes one 41 secounds in my microwave. Yeah, I've done it too. Thanks for the links. Will check them out soon.

Hope you have some at the house when i come over you made me want one now yummy.

I'm sure half of the ingredients are some form of sugar and the other half you can't pronounce.

Hi Grandpa Bob, I did not know that twinkies explode. They are a cake what makes them explode? Well if twinkies have 39 ingrediants that is probably why they are soooooo good.

39 huh? Thats a lot for a little cake. I am so glad that was not my microwave you tried that in, and I am not letting my hubby or my kids see this discussion. My microwave would be a disaster lolol

No, I was not aware . . . LOL Did YOU know that putting peeps (those colored marshmallow treats) in the microwave makes for some good old-fashioned fun, as well? Watch them grow!!
