TWINKIE WIENER SANDWICH!

You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.  Such is the case with this American icon - a bastion of baked goods - the perverted pastry - The Twinkie.

I'll be the first to admit that I had all but forgotten about this special sponge until recently, when it's parent company went tits-up.  All of a sudden, the memories came sugar-rushing back.  You mean to tell me the Twinkie - yellow cake that could survive a nuclear holocaust - couldn't survive union negotiations?! 

It was true... the Twinkie is gone (well, once the vast supply in the distribution centers is exhausted... and until a new company buys the brand and it's existing factories and resumes production... so, like, two weeks?).  But if you've managed to squirrel away any boxes of the baked good before they flew off store shelves, this Woodsie Bake post is for you.  Today we tackle what is arguably the best use of a Twinkie EVER.  That's right...


... it's the Twinkie Wiener Sandwich.



TWINKIE WIENER SANDWICH 

Ingredients
Twinkie
Wiener
Easy Cheese
cup of milk



Boil the hot dog until it is cooked through.

While the wiener is cooling, create your "bun".  Turn the Twinkie upside down.  Cut the Twinkie length-wise, but only half-way deep into the cake.


Place your hot dog in your bun.




Top with Easy Cheese.




That's it!  Now... if you really want to enjoy it EXACTLY the same way George Newman did in the movie "UHF", don't forget to dip the dog in a glass of warm milk.

Bon Appétit!
