Ingredients

  • 10 twinkies
  • 1 bag light cocoa candy melts
  • 1 bag orange candy melts
  • 1 bag bright white candy melts
  • 20 Candy eyeballs
  • 10 paper straws

Instructions

  • Unwrap the Twinkies and get them ready for their spooky makeover.
  • Gently poke a paper straw into each one—don’t go all the way through!
  • Pop the Twinkies into the freezer for 10 minutes. It helps them hold their shape.
  • Melt your candy according to the package. Use a different bowl for each color.
  • Dip each Twinkie into the melted candy. Use a spoon to coat and smooth it all over.
  • Let the excess drip off on a wire rack, then move them to wax paper to set.
  • While the coating is still soft, add two candy eyes to each mummy.
  • Melt the white candy melts and drizzle across the Twinkies to make “bandages.”
  • Let them sit until everything is firm and set.
  • Serve, share, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Freezing your Twinkies before dipping helps them stay firm and keeps the coating smooth and even.
  • If your candy melts are too thick, stir in a little coconut oil or shortening to thin them out and give a nice glossy finish.
  • Using a piping bag makes it easy to drizzle neat "bandages" without a mess.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, use a plastic bag with a corner cut off
