Homemade Twinkie Treats

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Twinkie Treats.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   Prepare two 10x15-inch jelly roll pans by giving them a good greasing and dusting with flour.

3. Step 3

   In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are beautifully blended, then incorporate the melted butter until the mixture is silky smooth.

4. Step 4

   Next, introduce the water, instant vanilla pudding mix, and yellow cake mix to the egg concoction, stirring until you achieve a thick, velvety batter.

5. Step 5

   Carefully pour the batter into the prepared pans, ensuring an even spread for uniform baking.

6. Step 6

   Slide the pans into the preheated oven and let them bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cakes spring back when gently pressed, or a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

7. Step 7

   Once baked, transfer the cakes to wire racks to cool completely.

8. Step 8

   For the luscious filling, blend softened butter, cream cheese, and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is irresistibly smooth and creamy.

9. Step 9

   Gently fold in the whipped topping and a splash of vanilla extract until everything is harmoniously combined.

    When the cakes have cooled, lavishly spread the filling over one layer, then crown it with the second layer.

    Cut the delightful creation into bars, wrap each Twinkie in plastic wrap, and store them in the freezer for a sweet treat that’s always ready to enjoy.
