Worried About That Twinkie Fix- The Internet is Here to Help

There really has been a great deal made out of the Hostess liquidation and people "worried" they won't be able to get their Twinkie fix. In my own opinion, the major brands of Hostess will be sold to the highest bidder and they will likely live on. However, if you are really worried, fear not. The Internet can provide you a step-by-step process of how to make those iconic brands in your own kitchen.

As the website Instructables reads.....

Sad news, everyone. Hostess is no more. All those delicious and not-quite-nutritious snacks are soon to be gone, replaced on gas station shelves by granola bars and energy drinks and those horrible off-brand fruit pies that will survive the nuclear holocaust until the rats and cockroaches finish them off after the last mammals have long since disappeared (and taken the only milk left with which to wash them down.)

But all is not lost! Oh no. The memory of crinkling open a Twinkie, Ding Dong, or bag of Wonder Bread lives on in the memories of those of us who grew up haggling for these treats over 5th grade cafeteria tables. And if you can remember the look, taste, and spongey mouthfeel, you can begin the process of resurrection.

In this guide, you will find copycat recipes to help you make your own Twinkies, Cupcakes, Chocolate Rolls, Snowballs (in cake form), and Wonderbread.
