Twinkie Sushi

Recipe #120476 | 5 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: Lady of shallot

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

SERVES 2 -3 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

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

Directions

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

    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!

    I made these for my daughters "special day" at school. They were a real hit. After reading the other comments about the twinkies being hard to cut I put them in the freezer the night before. They made slicing a breeze!! Thanks for such a fun recipe.

    I think I need to give this more stars. It was so easy and yummy! I read all the comments. So thanks to many for this great recipe. I froze the "twinkies" and cutting them was a breeze. I did use Aldi brand because, holy cow! Twinkies were $3.99 at my grocery store! (I'd forgotten that by the day I went to Aldi, and I was like, "Holy cow! $1.99??!!!" I'm a cheapskate.) I didn't have a problem with them. I got (raspberry, I think) Fruit By the Foot and cut the Aldi "twinkies" into quarters because that fit the FBTF. I also used Swedish Fish. I thought they were cute, but not really very appealing--until I tried one. They are really good! I made them for my son to take to school for Ayyam-i-Ha treats tomorrow. He already said, "we are making these for next year." Thank you for a great treat!
