Total Time 1 hour 35 minutes
Course Dessert
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz of green melting chips
  • 4 oz of black melting chips
  • 1 red melting chip or one small tube (that has a very small tip) of red icing.
  • 6 Twinkies
  • 12 candy eye decorations

Instructions
 

  • Place Twinkies in freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  • Prepare a baking sheet or cutting board by covering with parchment or wax paper.
  • Melt green candy chips by microwaving for 30 seconds, stirring and repeating until melted.
  • Dip each Twinkie in green chocolate and roll to completely coat. Then, transfer to prepared paper.
  • Using a toothpick, spear a mini marshmallow and dip in green chocolate to cover completely.
  • Position the marshmallow in the middle of the Twinkie to make a nose. Use another toothpick to loosen the marshmallow from the first toothpick and to smooth out chocolate.
  • Using chocolate as "glue", set 2 eyes just above the nose.
  • Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
  • Lift each Twinkie to separate from paper. Then use a knife to carefully trim excess chocolate from the edges that ran off.
  • Melt black candy chips by microwaving 30 seconds, stirring and repeating until melted.
  • Dip top of each Twinkie in black chocolate to make hair.
  • Return to prepared paper.
  • Using the toothpick method from before, dip 8 mini marshmallows in black chocolate to coat completely and place on prepared paper to use as neck bolts.
  • Place the baking sheet back in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to set. Then trim any excess chocolate that ran off.
  • Using chocolate as glue attach neck bolts to sides of Twinkies.
  • Take the one red chip and heat for 30-60 seconds until melted.
  • Using a toothpick, draw a mouth with the red chocolate on each Twinkie and draw the forehead scar.
  • Place completed Frankensteins back in refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
