Chocolate Covered Twinkies On A Stick Recipes

CHOCOLATE COVERED TWINKIES ON A STICK

Steps:

• Unwrap twinkies and place a candy apple stick into each one so it looks like a popsicle.
• Place each on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet and freeze until firm.
• Melt the chocolate on top of a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth.
• Dip twinkies, one at a time, coating completely and returning to waxed paper. Top with desired topping before the chocolate dries (that is why it important to do one at a time).
• Continue until all are dipped and decorated.
• Allow to dry completely before wrapping or serving.
• Note: if you have chocolate left you can save it for another use or dip something else you may have on hand like pretzels, oreos or marshmallows.
