My daughter was like, "When are we going to cook something FUN for Halloween?"
I laughed and replied, "I'm sorry, you must have me mistaken for a Mom who likes to cook."
She threw her hands in the air, "Can't we try SOMETHING?"
I said no.
And then I was like, "You know, okay, but we're not cooking because quite frankly, I don't wanna. Find something we can just throw together."
So Natalie looked in the pantry and was like, "Wow, we have a lot of Little Debbie snacks and Twinkies in here," and I went, "Of course!" and she said, "Wait, I think we can make something with these!"
She told me her idea and I was like, "Brilliant."
My kid came up with these. I helped with buying some of the stuff, but really, it was all her.
What You'll Need
--The chocolate cake Twinkies. I suppose you could get the golden ones, but these seem more fun.
--Edible Eyes
--A variety of gel colors
--Pocky Sticks. You can use regular pretzel sticks too, but these are delicious!
Directions
1. Use the gel to get the eyes to stick on.
2. Decorate with the gel.
3. Press the Pocky Sticks in!
That's it! Super easy, and you all know how much I love easy.
My daughter said hers was "Puking slime."
You can make the monsters how ever you want, and then pig out!
Do you make a lot of stuff for Halloween?
So cute!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun Halloween themed snack idea. We are having a party in a few weeks and these are perfect for that!!
ReplyDeleteHow is it I haven't noticed chocolate cake Twinkies yet, I wonder. These are cute, they'd be great for an after school snack with friends.
ReplyDeleteThese are cute and perfect for Halloween theme party for kids. Ofcourse I don't mind trying few by myself :D
ReplyDeleteYour daughter did a great job! The monster is so cute and easy to put together - my kind of Halloween snack. I haven't seen chocolate Twinkies. Where have I been hiding? Yum!
ReplyDeleteHaha thats awesome how you guys manage to make something out of nothing! They look quitr scarry perfect for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteHaha I would say the same if my daughter asked me about baking "Do I look like a mum who likes to bake?".
These are really creative and cute. I haven't eaten Twinkies in a long time. I remember making spiders and hanging them at the door when I was in Prep school.
ReplyDeleteThose are cute. She did a good job. I want to buy some of those eyes and make some goodies too.
ReplyDeleteThe same here, they are such a great idea for a Halloween treat and so well done!
DeleteEasy and quick to make. Twinkie isn't something we eat usually but for a different treat and decorated they would be special.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about cute and easy Halloween treats! Honestly, I can't say that I've ever had a chocolate Twinkie before!
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant! I love how easy to make these monster twinkies are, and I have no doubt they work on any sugar craving.

These Twinkies look like they'd be a lot of fun to make. And really easy so that means I wouldn't have to wait long before eating mine!
