Comment: This is a recipe that went with a book review I did for author Brian L. Porter's book Avenue of the Dead. I had trouble finding 'twinkies' but did find another brand that worked perfectly. For my strawberries I found frozen, whole strawberries on sale so I bought 2 bags and let them thaw. I sliced the in half and they actually had very little juice which I believe was good. Their lack of juice kept the dish from having too much liquid and being runny. This isn't a dish that keeps very well due to the amount of juice that was in the berries but with it as good as it is that wasn't much of a problem. The one thing that might make it last longer would be to use fresh, sliced berries. For changes - change the fruit. Use blueberries, blackberries, peaches, even Kiwi would be good. This is a fun dish to play with.
