Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350* Spray Twinkie pan with non stick spray and set aside. In a large bowl combine the cake mix, buttermilk, eggs, oil and flour. Mix on low speed for 1 minute. Add the pumpkin and beat on medium speed for 2 more minutes. Spoon batter into pan. Do not fill more than 1/2 full. Bake for 14 minutes. Cool in pan for 2-3 minutes, then carefully remove from pan. Finish cooling on a wire rack. When they are completely cool, use a piping tip to fill the twinkies in 3 different places with the Cinnamon Marshmallow Cream Cheese Frosting.
  • For the Frosting
  • Cream the butter, cream cheese and vanilla for 2-3 minutes. Add the fluff, salt and cinnamon and beat again. Slowly add the flour and powdered sugar until all incorporated and thick. Add the milk and beat on medium high until creamy.
  • For the Topping
  • Melt chocolate in micowave with shortening, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Drop twinkies one at a time into the chocolate, use a spoon to cover the entire twinkie, then carefully pick it up with an angled spatula or fork. Tap the spatula gently on the side of the pan to remove the excess chocolate. Place on wax paper to set. After you have finished dipping all the twinkies, drizzle the tops with the leftover chocolate.
