Twinkie Hot Dogs

Sometimes you just need to be a little wild with dessert and that’s what made me think of these. Halloween candy is on sale, twinkies were on sale… and the idea came to be! Who doesn’t like vanilla sponge cake with cream filling and the caramel cookie goodness of a Twix… and if that wasn’t enough, let’s add frosting and apples! This is definitely a once in a while type edible craft, but it was so much fun to make and even more fun to eat.
