Twinkies are one of the most iconic treats in the world today. Everyone knows the sweet taste of those soft, yellow cakes and their creamy filling. Then there's their soft and moist texture and easy-to-hold size... My mouth is watering just thinking about them. However, there are only so many Twinkies that I can justify buying or even eating because, well, they're not the best desserts for you. It's not that I'm a calorie-counter by any means, but I try to keep my Twinkie-consumption in check.

That's before I discovered Smart Planet's Hostess Twinkie Bake Set. With this bake set, anyone can make their own Twinkies right at home! Making Twinkies at home automatically cuts out some of the ingredients that are harmful to you in regular, out-of-the-package Twinkies. You can also customize your Twinkies and come up with a variety of interesting flavor combinations in addition to the classic vanilla cake with vanilla frosting!

Speaking of cake flavors, the Twinkie bake set comes with a little pamphlet that has a few recipes in it. These recipes are especially formulated for the pan, which is really great. You don't have to worry about making too much or too little batter. There are recipes for both yellow and chocolate Twinkies so that you can bake whatever flavor you feel like. While these recipes aren't intended to make cakes that taste exactly like Twinkies, they definitely help curb the craving. In the future, I'm planning on using those two flavors as "bases" and adding to them. For instance, I could make a snickerdoodle-like Twinkie or some pumpkin pie-flavored ones! The possibilities are endless.

Another great thing about the Hostess Twinkie Bake Set is that it comes with a reusable pastry bag and a few tips to help you fill your homemade Twinkies easily. You don't have to go out and buy your own or worry about filling the Twinkies with a makeshift pastry bag. You can just pick the cakes out of the pan, fill them, and serve them in a jiffy. The metal pan itself has a non-stick surface which makes clean-up pain-free. With this pan, you can make eight Twinkies at a time, which enough for dessert for your family or late-night snacks for yourself for a week!

I can't wait to use my Hostess Twinkie Bake Set over and over again. Buy your own set and you won't be able to wait either!
