So, have you found Food Fanatic yet? It’s super duper popular, so I’m hoping the answer is “yes.” And I’m super duper excited (I know people always say that, but I am, because a bunch of cool bloggers are on there, and one day I hope to be cool) to be part of their team now. I’ll be creating homemade versions of store-bought foods. Otherwise known as “copycats”. Ever nostalgic (thank you ’80s and Saturday morning marketing and a mom sometimes lenient about sugar), my first recreation is this homemade Twinkies poppers recipe . Twinkies with a twist. See? I’m always going to try and find the twist.

Homemade Twinkies poppers are bite-sized (more like two bites) awesomeness. How are Twinkies not sold like this yet? How is everything not sold in poppers form?

This recipe is a bit denser than the original version, more cake-y than sponge-y. And the filling is smoother and thicker than the original, to suit my personal taste, though just as sweet. To make the popper shape, I used my Wilton Pops Pan (an affiliate link), but you can also use a mini-cupcake pan, they will just be a bit smaller. So you’ll get more of them. Bonus. Or, make your own molds with tinfoil.
