The Twinkie apocalypse has reached Colorado! Everyone has heard that Hostess Brand is closing their doors for good–so what’s a Twinkie lover to do? Throw a farewell bash designed around the iconic snack food character, Twinkie the Kid, of course!
Twinkies sponge cakes were created in the1930s as a way to make an inexpensive product during the Great Depression. Twinkies gained huge popularity in the 1950s by sponsoring the Howdy Doody Show. The creation of mascot Twinkie the Kid dates back to the postwar era in Twinkie history*.
Create a bon voyage themed event for the All-American treat with rental red gingham tablecloths, rental burlap table runner, mason jar centerpieces, simple white rental china, and a boozy Twinkie trifle.
This easy Twinkie trifle consists of vanilla pudding, vodka, whipped cream, white chocolate liqueur, and white chocolate shavings (basically a tiramisu with Twinkies and vodka!)
As we enter this new, Twinkie-less era, always remember what The Kid taught us…it’s the inside that counts.
