Twinkies® Cookbook
Twinkie Lasagna, Twinkie Burrito and Twinkie Sushi
& 47 More
The Twinkies Cookbook has recipes for everything from a Twinkie Burrito to Twinkie Lasagna. Add to that the Pigs in a Twinkie, and you’ve got a party.
Last year was the 75th anniversary of Hostess Twinkies, and as part of the celebration, the company called for recipes from the faithful. The resulting cookbook has 102 pages of sponge cake goodness.
You can make your wedding cake of Twinkies, celebrate the weekend with Twinkie ice cream sundaes, and on July 4th, you can have a berry-laden Patriotic Twinkie Pie. Why serve your guests the same old tiramisu, when Twinkie-Misu awaits?
With more than 50 recipes and 20 full-color photographs, is there a better gift for your favorite cook than this volume and a carton of Twinkies? You can purchase it by clicking here. But first, enjoy this recipe for Twinkies Sushi.

After reading the book, we needed to relax with a jumbo Twinkarita—two shots of tequila and 1/2 ounce of Triple Sec blended with one Twinkie. Rim the glass with lime; salt optional.
