If you type in fried twinkies on google, tons of recipes will come up.

Wed Sep 24 14:12:26 -0700 2003 1612714 0 ChoHound 1 1612780 Haven't been to any state or county fairs recently? They are all the rage. Deep fried twinkies, candy bars, etc. It's a great conspiracy to fatten up all Americans and kill them before they get to use social security.
