Texas Twinkies
The Texas Twinkie jacks up the usual cream cheese-filled happy hour fave with marbled brisket and an unctuous armor of crispy, thick-cut bacon. Then this mutant morsel is triumphantly painted with a homemade BBQ glaze. The best part? You don’t even need a deep fryer. Just a crazy urge to make jalapeño poppers at home, because that’s your idea of fun. Now let’s get poppin’.
