Editor's note: The recipe below is excerpted from The Twinkies Cookbook.

"I created this special family recipe on a whim. My daughter, Sarah, would always dunk Twinkies in chocolate milkshakes. so one day, I made her a chocolate shake and added Twinkies to it. It is still one of her—and the rest of the family's—favorites."
Brenda McDevitt, Worth, Illinois
