Unwrap Twinkies and place in freezer on a sheet of parchment paper.
-
Melt one bag of Wilton Candy Melts in a double boiler. If you don’t have a double boiler, the microwave method can be used. I tried both and the double boiler is superior. You can easily make your own double boiler with a saucepan and a heatproof bowl (glass, metal, Pyrex). Fill the saucepan with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Place heatproof bowl with melting chocolate on top on the saucepan, making sure the bowl fits snugly.
-
Add 2 tablespoons coconut oil to melted chocolate. Stir. The coconut oil is my secret ingredient for the perfect melting chocolate. The oil adds a slight coconut flavor, which I found to be very yummy! Crisco can also be used in the places of coconut oil.
-
Dip Twinkies, one by one in melted chocolate. If you have trouble dipping, you can use a pastry brush, or even a spoon to spread chocolate onto Twinkie until covered. Set on parchment paper. Removed any excess chocolate from around the Twinkies.
-
Add two candy eyes to each Twinkie.
-
Insert straw or lollipop stick into the bottom of each Twinkie.
-
Carefully pour remaining chocolate into a Ziploc bag.
-
Snip a small corner of the Ziploc bag with scissors, and pipe chocolate across the Twinkies to create the mummy bandages.
-
Transfer to fridge for a quick set.
