Romantic Twinkie Heart Cake for Two!

Ok, so if you have the Twinkies and the the raspberries, you need a few more items which you should have in your pantry.  You will need sugar, cornstarch and some water.  The thing that makes this special is you cut the Twinkies to make a cute heart shape and top them with a quick raspberry sauce.  So easy, so cute, and yummy too.  I even saw some banana filled Twinkies.  That was the original Twinkie filling.  It has a slight hint of banana and would also work well for this.

  2. Cut Twinkies in half diagonally (A sharp diagonal), starting about 1 in. down from top left to 1 in. from bottom of opposite side. For each heart, put 2 halves together on 1 serving plate. Spoon raspberry mixture on top and around hearts.

Of course, a simplified version would be to cut the twinkies and serve with strawberries and whipped cream! Yummy and easy!
