Moon Pies were my favorite!  It was a really special day when one of these showed up in my beloved Barbie lunch box ;D




My second favorite were Ho Ho's  ;)

I LOVED Moon Pies. I still do. Moon Pies and RC Cola! That's the life!  :D

And I love Hoho's too! When I was a kid, I always tried to eat the chocolate icing off the hoho without breaking through the cake part and expose the vanilla filling. I did the same thing with Ding Dongs. It's not as easy to do as it sounds!

Didn't they also make orange Twinkies when we were little, Dottie?

It seems like I remember those back in the 1960's.  :D

Remember Fluffernutter?  :D




Man, that stuff would make me really thirsty! So I'd wash down my fluffernutter sandwich with a big glass of cold milk!  :D

Sounds familiar David, I remember the banana flavored ones for certain.  They're rare but  you can still find them sometimes.


I also found this old recipe for Cremesicle Twinkies

Orange Cremesicle Twinkie Dessert

10 Twinkies, halved lengthwise
(15 oz can of mandarin oranges – optional)*
1 3-oz package orange Jell-O
1/2 cup boiling water
1 3.4 oz package instant vanilla pudding (or French)
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup French vanilla liquid coffee creamer
1 (12 oz) container non-dairy whipped topping, such as Cool Whip (big tub)

Arrange the Twinkies cut side up in a 13x9 inch baking dish. If using, lay some drained mandarin oranges over Twinkies.

In a bowl, stir together the Jell-O and boiling water. When Jell-O is dissolved, put the mixture in the refrigerator to cool for 10 minutes. To hasten the process, drop in an ice cube – the extra liquid won’t hurt anything.

In a large bowl, beat together the pudding mix, milk and coffee creamer for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add the orange Jell-O/water mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until smooth. Fold in two-thirds of the whipped topping. Spread the orange mixture (pour it, smooth it) over the cut Twinkies.
 


Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 6-8 hours. Before serving, spread the remaining whipped topping over the top. Decorate thematically.



Definitely one of those homely, back yard BBQ, tailgate, family picnic kind of desserts.  If you know what I mean  ;)

How many of you had a V-RROOM attached to your bicycle? I did! I asked for one for Christmas. I don't think I had it on my bicycle for more than 3 months before Dad ripped it off my bike and threw it away! It drove him nuts. So, after that, I resorted to attaching playing cards to my bike spokes to make those cool motor sounds!  :laugh:
