Rainbow Twinkies
These bright Rainbow Twinkies, covered in vanilla candy, are the perfect sweet treat for celebrating!
Rainbow Twinkies
Hi there.
I’ve been thinking about a lot of things.
And after many sleepless nights, I have decided that Twinkies are not colorful enough. Surely such a happy food is worthy of more than just a very bland yellow?
I am pretty sure that if unicorns were to eat Twinkies (which they might, who really even knows), they would look exactly like the ones above, rainbow and covered in white chocolate and candy sprinkles.
And shouldn’t we all strive to make our food look unicorn-worthy? I feel like that is a life-goal worth having.
In other news, I have finally found something that I’m really bad at.
Dieting.
In a particularly vulnerable moment where I might or might not have found myself sneaking lumps of brown sugar out of my baking container while pretending to look for an apple, I heard what I can only assume was the Lord speaking to me.
Upon further reflection, it may actually have been the voice of shame and desperation, but let’s not nitpick every detail. The point is, I realized that some people were meant to be skinny and eat leafy things and deprive themselves of the most magical food group of all — heavily processed carbs. But I am not one of those people.
Life is all about learning to accept who you are and make peace with it. And while in the process of making peace, I decided to make some sugar-laden rainbow calorie bombs, and I am not sorry about it.
It’s how God made me, what do you do.
So here we are.
I’d love to say that you’ll be just fine without one or twelve of these, but I’d be lying. They are magical, delicious bites of heaven, and your life won’t be complete without them.
And they’re super fun for St. Patrick’s Day, so there’s that.
Enjoy!
