Ingredients

  • 4 Twinkies frozen for about an hour
  • 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar sifted
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • Food Coloring optional
  • Candy Decorations Optional

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, combine confectioners' sugar, water and corn syrup. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a temperature of 100 degrees F. Should be able to pour sauce over the Twinkies Stir in the almond extract and food coloring if desired.
  • While fondant mixture is cooking, cut Twinkies into eighths, cutting off the ends to ensure that they are square shaped. Spread a little bit of the raspberry jam on one of the slices and cover it with another Twinkie slice, making little sandwiches. You should have 16 petit fours.
  • When fondant mixture has reached 100 degrees, move petit fours onto a wire cooking rack with a layer of parchment underneath. Pour fondant mixture over the petit fours. Use a spatula to cover the sides of the cakes. Top with desired decoration and let sit for about 10 minutes to harden.
