Twinkie Sushi

Lady of shallot's Note:

I found this hysterical creation on the Twinkie website. It was created by chef Clare Crespo, and I think it is rather ingenious.

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 3 Hostess Twinkies
• assorted dried fruits
• assorted fruity decorative candies
• 2 green fruit leather
• dried mango (looks like pickled ginger)

Directions:

1. Slice Twinkies into pieces about an inch tall.
2. Slice fruit rollups in strips to be long enough and wide enough to wrap around the Twinkie pieces.
3. Place dried fruits and candies into the cream filling.
4. Place Twinkie rolls on a plate or in a Bento box.
5. Garnish with strips of dried mango to resemble pickled ginger if you wish.
6. Serve with chopsticks.

my lil sisters class thought they were great and the family did as well!!

This was so fun! We made them for my daughter to take to school for her 9th birthday. Her favorite book right now is Yoko by Rosemary Wells. It's all about a girl that loves Sushi! Our family LOVES Sushi but not practical to take to school so this is great!! I put them in my Japanese bento box and sent chopsticks to school. We did freeze the Twinkies and that made it so easy to cut them. Thanks for a great idea!

Great idea. Put twinkies in the freezer as suggested and they cut easily. Loved how creative you can get with these, I made mine like a plate of assorted sushi. The best tasting ones were made with red velvet twinkies - I flattened and cut a rice krispy treat and wrapped it around the slice of twinkie so creme side faced up on plate. I also found that Entenmanns makes a mean twinkie.
