It's funny that a posting for Twinkies came up. We were apple picking with my older sister and she was APPALLED that my children had never had Twinkies, Ho-Ho's or Ding Dongs. What can I say? I'm like your other readers and can't get past the chemical ingredients in the "originals". I can't wait to forward this posting to her and make them for my kids so they are no longer deprived of what my sister considers a childhood right. PS The filling you use for your version of twinkies is what we've always called "mock whipped cream" and use to frost my favorite white cake with white frosting birthday cake. Hi Nicole, I'm glad we can help settle the family feelings. :) I'm delighted so many readers are so familiar with the cooked filling. I put some on an apple pie slice last night as we were out of ice cream, and it was FABU! Happy Baking ~ MaryJane
