Servings: 10 Twinkies
Calories: 280kcal
Ingredients
- 10 Twinkies
- 12 oz. Milk or Dark Chocolate melting wafers
Toppings
- melted white chocolate
- sprinkles
- pecans
- toffee bits
- coconut
- M&M's
- 10 Lollipop Sticks
Instructions
- Prep and Freeze: Remove Twinkies from wrappers and insert lollipop stick into one end. Place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Place in freezer for at least 3 hours. You want each Twinkie completely frozen so the weight of the chocolate doesn't pull them off of the sticks.
- Melt: Melt chocolates according to directions on their packages until they are completely melted and smooth.
- Dip: Remove Twinkies from the freezer, and one at a time, coat them in the melted chocolate. I found it easiest to hold the Twinkies over the bowl of melted chocolate and use a spoon to drizzle and coat them, rather than submerge them completely into the melted chocolate. Let any excess chocolate drip off and lay back down onto wax paper.
- Top: Add desired toppings and let sit until chocolate hardens.
Notes
Nutritional information is for the Twinkie only - no chocolate or toppings are included.
