These look great! I never ate twinkies as even as a kid I didn't like the ingredient list. I don't think they are even baked, but only a chemical reaction. Someone once told me that they are toxic until two weeks after they are "made". Don't know if it is true, but never wanted to take the chance. Now these I would love to make for my husband who always loved twinkies. This filling is the exact one I make for my mom's devil dog cookies. When my mom makes it it stays a little grainy (in a good way), but when I make this filling I beat it longer making it silky and creamy and oh so good. I think this might be the baking project for this weekend! My husband will thank you! Hi Lish, I know there have always been rumors about how Twinkies are made and their eons long shelf life. I doubt most of them are true, but it's nice to have an alternative, isn't it? Enjoy! ~ MaryJane
