Frankenstein Halloween Treats Made From Twinkies

I love to make Halloween treats, especially when they are as adorable and impressive as these Spooky Frankenstein Twinkies. In fact, these Frankenstein Halloween treats are so darn cute, I don’t know that I could eat them!

Best of all, they couldn’t be easier to make. There is no baking involved, and they only take five ingredients. They are a great treat for the kids and are sure to be one of the cutest treats at any Halloween party. Plus, they pair perfectly with these One-Eyed Purple People Eater Marshmallow Pops, or these Halloween Popcorn Ball Witches!

How to make Frankenstein Halloween Treats using Twinkies

Making these Frankenstein Halloween treats is pretty straight forward. The head is the Twinkie, the chocolate jimmies are the hair, and black Sixlets are used for the bolts on the neck.

Add the candy eyes, and then use black icing to draw the scar and mouth. The prep time for these Spooky Frankenstein Twinkies is about one hour, but that includes the 30 minutes you have them in the freezer.

• Cookie Sticks — I prefer using cookie sticks to lollipop sticks because they’re thicker and sturdier.
• Wilton Melting Pot — this is completely optional, but if you’ve ever had any trouble melting candy melts or chocolate in the past, I highly recommend this candy melting pot.  After thinking about it for three years, I finally bought one and I’m so glad I did!  You just toss your candy in it and walk away…perhaps giving it a stir or two. It melts the candy perfectly!!

Frankenstein Halloween Treats Ingredients

• Vanilla Twinkies
• Black Sixlets for the eyes
• Candy Eyes
• Chocolate Jimmies for the hair
• Black Decorating Icing – I used a toothpick to ‘draw’ the scar and mouth since I did not have a small icing tips.
• Green Candy Melts

Directions to Make Frankenstein Halloween treats

Step One: Freeze Twinkies

Place the Twinkies in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This makes them easier to work with.

Step Two: Prep Baking Sheet

Prepare a baking sheet by covering it with wax or parchment paper. Tip: an additional light spray of cooking oil ensures the Twinkies don’t stick at all.

Step Three: Melt Candy Melts

Melt the green candy either by using the candy melting pot or by microwaving for 30 seconds, then stirring and repeating until melted.

Step Four: Add Stick

Insert the top 1/3 of a cookie stick into the melted candy, then place it in the center of the Twinkie. Make sure you insert the stick into the Twinkie at least halfway.

Step Five: Freeze

Place the Twinkies on the baking sheet and put them in the freezer for about 15 minutes to allow the candy on the sticks to harden. This will ensure the stick stays in place.

Step Six: Dip Twinkies

Coat each Twinkie in the melted candy, rolling the allow the excess candy to drip off. 

Step Seven: Add Hair

Working quickly before the candy hardens, dip the top part of the Twinkie into a bowl of chocolate jimmies to make the hair.

Step Eight: Return to Freezer to Set

Place the Twinkies back on the wax paper lined baking sheet and return them to the freezer for 10 to 15 more minutes, or until the candy has hardened. 

Step Nine: Trim Off Excess Candy

Once you remove them from the freezer, use a knife to carefully trim off any candy that ran off the sides.

Step Ten: Add Eyes

Next, using the melted candy as “glue”, apply two eyes to the top 1/3 of the Twinkies.

Step Eleven: Add Neck Bolts

Do the same with the black Sixlets, “gluing” one on each side of the lower 1/3 of the Twinkie for the bolts.

Step Twelve: Add Mouth and Scar

Add the scar and the mouth using the black icing. Tip: if you don’t have a small enough icing tip, use a toothpick as a “pen”, dipping it in the icing and then ‘drawing’ the mouth and scar.

Step Thirteen: Allow to Set

Allow icing to set for about 5 to 10 minutes.
