• Use sucker sticks instead of popsicle sticks.

• Use jicama or pears instead of apples.
• Omit the apples.
• Use different flavors of frosting.

Our Experience With This Twinkie Corn Dog Edible Craft

Why did I do this? Honestly, I don’t know. We weren’t really doing anything and we had a box of Twinkies and frosting and craft supplies so I was like… let’s do this!

Yes, this edible craft is full of sugar. Yes, my kids were bouncing off the walls. But it was a fun craft and sweet treat that we don’t do often so it was nice to make this memory.

Afterwards we went outside and played to burn off some of that energy. And if you’re worried about the dye, we have a post about natural dyes that can be of use!
