Walmart's Giant Twinkie Baking Kit Is Turning Heads
Sometimes you just need an oversized dessert. Whether it's to feed a crowd or simply make yourself laugh after a long week with a relaxing and fun baking project, larger than life desserts really hit the spot from time to time. The latest giant dessert to turn heads is a massive Twinkie. While the Hostess snack cake might be one of the most well known out there, you will certainly get your fill of them if you use the new Twinkie baking kit (via Delish).
Recently, Instagram user @foodiewiththebeasts posted a photo of the family size Twinkie kit with a caption saying that they would be hitting shelves at Walmart this month. Complete with a white bow, these baking kits are the perfect gift for any true lover of the snack cake. It's also probably the easiest way to pretend to be Claire Saffitz from Bon Appetit, recreating the well-known treat. While it may or may not be a gourmet version of Twinkies, it's definitely larger. The party-sized pack makes enough for 12 servings in one Twinkie cake, rather than the usual two servings you're used to in a normal Twinkies pack (via Awesome Inventions).
Here's what the huge Twinkies kit comes with
If you're wondering just how many extra ingredients you'll need to have on hand if you pick this kit up, it isn't much. In fact, you likely already have the staples that are required to use the baking kit in your kitchen. The Party Size Twinkies Baking Kit comes with cake mix as well as a mix for the treat's signature cream filling. To top it all off, these are packaged inside a Twinkie-shaped baking pan, so you don't even need your own rounded loaf pan to make this dream dessert happen.
Apart from the kit, Awesome Inventions says you'll need to have eggs, water, vegetable oil, and heavy cream on hand to whip up the Twinkie cake and cream filling. With the instructions printed right on the box, this dessert is a cinch to pull together — and we think it will certainly surprise your friends and family, bringing a smile to their faces.
The Hostess Party Size Twinkies Holiday Baking Kit is currently available on the Walmart website and in stores for $14.98 each. Keep an eye out for the kits and pick up a couple of them, there's no doubt you'll want to make it yourself and gift it to the (snack) foodie in your life too.
