I often use Hostess products in my crazy food recipes. They’re a great art supply. I love sushi and thought it would be fun to have sushi for dessert. It’s nice to serve Twinkies snack cake Sushi at a dinner party on a Japanese tray or in a bento box with chopsticks. Guests will laugh while they enjoy a refreshing fruity dessert at the same time.
