If you were born in the U.S. before 2012 (when Twinkies went out of business), then you remember buying that beautiful red, white, and blue box filled with the infamous 10 Twinkies, and then gobbling them down before mom or dad noticed. Now, Chocodiles are another story. A CHOCOLATE COVERED TWINKIE?!? You had me at "Chocolate covered Twinkie. Who wouldn't want a chocolate covered twinkie?? Well I am a little late posting this, but with the holidays back to back and the parents visiting, I haven't been on much. I made these Chocodiles a couple weeks back and they were just to die for (I mean if you love chocolate and love Twinkies, and they're homemade!) Go ahead and give them a try!
