Mountain Dew Twinkies

See how to make Mountain Dew Twinkies.  Everyone loves Twinkies.  I remember as a kid having a Twinkie as my snack packed in my school lunchbox.  Of course that was the original vanilla flavored Twinkies.  I wish I knew how to make Mountain Dew Twinkies back then. 

A short time ago a friend sent me a Twinkie maker.  I had to come up with something fun to make with it.  That is when I decided to make Mountain Dew Twinkies.  They were fun to make and the Twinkie Maker made it easy.  You could make these without using a Twinkie maker but it is super easy to do with it.

Here is what you will need to make these:
