fried twinkies
Deep-fried snack cake
Fried Twinkies are Twinkie snack cakes dipped in batter and deep-fried, a quintessential American fair food.
The hot oil transforms the creamy filling and sponge cake into something richer and messier.
They emerged at state fairs in the early 2000s and became emblematic of indulgent carnival cuisine: We hit the midway and split a fried Twinkie.
