If you are looking for a new way to serve and old time favorite I do have a couple of suggestions. I must warn you, that if your family is like mine you may suffer some gentle teasing about re-inventing Twinkie. My personal favorite has been to deep fry my Twinkies in a pancake batter. They do better when left whole, if cut in half vanilla cream tends to ooze out. I have never tried it with banana cream filled version. I find that I am always a bit to excited to tinker with original. A second more decadent treat is to pull out your favorite Tiramisu recipe and substitute Twinkies for lady fingers. http://www.gourmayeats.com

In summer months iced coffee is a special treat. A way to use your left over coffee and to create a delightful beverage, make ice cubes. Pour your left over morning java into an ice cube tray and freeze. You can flavor your cubes with syrup or chocolate to sweeten drink. When you are ready for your iced coffee just substitute coffee cubes for regular ice cubes. Your beverage will stay chilled and your coffee will not become watered down. http://www.gourmayeats.com
