Whew! Luckily I was able to actually try a deep fried Twinkie in Las Vegas a few years ago. In case you were wondering it was close to inedible. Ugh. Fry-O-Lator oil directly from Fremont Street. One of those things you have to try though… sort of like the dare of tasting haggis. ‘Cause you can can can.
Still, with Hostess shutting their doors I feel like Woody Harrelson in Zombieland.
Ah, another tiny death of childhood. Just a note: There are no longer ANY Twinkies still on the shelves here in Reno, nor Hostess cupcakes, Devil Dogs or Snowballs. Hope that Twinkies really do last forever. I can already envision these being stored in a cellar next to the fine wines and Dom Perignon.

The deep fried twinkie is definitely a case of more not being more.
They’ll be back.

Probably before the end of the year with a revival holiday green twinkie with red filling…because the other way just sounds ick.

Actually they both sound ick.
If by ick we mean DELICIOUS!!!!!!!

Red, for all of us grown kids a fervent wish that our childhood treat of overly sweetened cake with the indescribable filling will return! Maybe Little Debbie will grow a set and buy out the Hostess bakeries 😉

Hope so. Could only eat about 3 bites of the fried version, and not really sure of the last time I had a Twinkie in it’s natural state.

I hope that recipe of mine tastes a lot better than your Twinkie experience but I am sure that it will prove to be scrumptiously delicious, especially if you can tempt a few naughty in the niff chefs to help you out with a really good cooking, yes I did say cooking, cheeky 😉 🙂
I don’t think that I have sampled a Twinkie of any kind but I have heard that they are incredibly yummy 🙂 No I don’t want a deep fried one, just the original recipe will do for me even though I do like to experiment a bit 😉 lol
Have a funtastic rest of evening Miss. R

I just had a similar graphic come through my Twitter feed that I thought you might like. It’s about Twinkies and their birth to death.. Its pretty funny and almost written like a obituary.

Never had a twinkie but apparently you could get a twinkie cocktail until recently in Reno: http://www.metrowize.com/files/imagecache/original/images/gallery-intro/twinkie-cocktail.jpg
