I kept seeing these Twinkie Frankenstein's from Life of a Whisk on a few blog hops and had to give them a try! These I made for Cole's class since he's in 5th I wanted to do something fun but no too kidish. These turned out awesome!
Ingredients:
12 oz Green Melting Chips4 oz Black Melting Chips
1 Red Melting Chip
6 Twinkies
12 Candy Eye Decorations
- Place Twinkies in freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare a baking sheet or cutting board by covering with parchment or wax paper.
- Melt green candy chips by microwaving 30 seconds then stirring and repeating until melted.
- Dip each Twinkie in chocolate and roll to completely coat.
- Transfer to prepared paper.
- using a toothpick, spear a mini marshmallow and dip in green chocolate to cover completely.
- Position marshmallow in middle of Twinkie to act as nose. Use another toothpick to loose marshmallow from first toothpick and to smooth out chocolate.
- Using chocolate as "glue", set 2 eyes just above the nose.
- Place in refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
- Lift each Twinkie to separate from paper.
- Using a knife carefully trim excess chocolate that ran off.
- Melt black candy chips by microwaving 30 seconds then stirring and repeating until melted.
- Dip top of each Twinkie in black chocolate to make hair.
- Return to prepared paper.
- Using toothpick method, dip 8 mini marshmallows in black chocolate to coat completely and place on prepared paper to use as neck bolts.
- Place in refrigerator for 5 minutes to set.
- Trim any excess chocolate that ran off.
- Using chocolate as glue attach neck bolts to sides of Twinkies.
- Take the one red chip and heat for 30-60 seconds until melted.
- Using a toothpick, draw a mouth on each and draw the forehead scar.
- Place in refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
ALEXIS NOTES: I had to make 20+ of these so I just increased the # of everything used. I used a little black to make a uni-brow. For the red mouth I used red gel. I'm putting these into Halloween treat bags for him to transport for school. I also used a dark green instead of the lime green she used to make them a little more grown up looking for the 5th graders.
