If you are needing a quick and easy Halloween treat for a party or lunchboxes these Twinkie Frankenstein Treats will be perfect. Last week I shared Twinkie Mummies that I whipped up for my kiddos surprise Halloween treat I made for their lunches. Since they really liked those and was so excited I decided to put another Halloween twist on our remaining plain Twinkies. A Frankenstein Twinkie seemed very appropriate. My oldest son loves Frankenstein.
