How to Make Twinkie Fantasy

  1. Arrange Twinkies in a single layer in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry Jell-O and boiling water. Stir until the Jell-O is completely dissolved.
  3. Stir in the cold water. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until the mixture is partially set.
  4. Gently fold in the sliced strawberries. Pour the Jell-O mixture evenly over the Twinkies in the baking dish.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the Jell-O is completely set.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth and creamy. Follow package directions if different.
  7. Carefully pour the pudding mixture over the set Jell-O and Twinkies.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the pudding is set.
  9. Spread the thawed Cool Whip evenly over the top of the pudding layer.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the dessert is thoroughly chilled and set.
  11. Cut into squares and serve immediately. Enjoy your Twinkie Fantasy!
