Did you have a chance to make the Twinkie Frankenstein Treats that I posted the other day? If you did, I hope you liked them and I think you are going to like these Twinkie Mummies even more for one main reason: they are easier to make because they involve fewer steps!
Like before, the key to making sure that these Twinkie Mummies turn out right is to freeze the Twinkies before coating them in chocolate. If you don't, I can pretty much guarantee you that your Twinkies will fall apart when you roll them in the chocolate! As a reminder, if you don't want to use store-bought Twinkies (because you don't like all the chemicals in them) you can always whip up a batch of my homemade Twinkies (and they freeze very well - so make a big batch and have them on hand for whenever).
The white melting chips as well as the candy eye decorations can be found in your local craft stores as well as the seasonal baking section at most grocery stores and Target! Make sure to have your kids help you out when you are making these. Since most of the decorating just involves drizzling chocolate, it's pretty hard to mess these up and your children will love making their own mummies!
