TWINKIE® WIENER SANDWICH
Probably one of the most infamous - or obscure - snacks in the world! Originally created by 'George Newman' ('Weird Al' Yankovic) in the movie 'UHF' - it has gained an almost cult-like following (as has the movie itself)!

Steps:
- Bring a saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add hot dogs, and boil until thoroughly hot, about 5 minutes; drain and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, unwrap the snack cakes, and place onto a cutting board, upside-down. Cut halfway through the bottoms of the snack cakes with a small, serrated knife to create "buns" for the hot dogs.
- Blot the hot dogs with a paper towel to remove excess water and place a hot dog inside each "bun". Remove the protective top from the can of cheese, and hold the nozzle close to, but not touching, the exposed side of the hot dog. Dispense cheese by decisively pressing the nozzle towards the hot dog and slowly drawing the tip along the hot dog in a straight line, or decorative pattern of your choice.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality hot dogs. Look for hot dogs that are made with a good combination of meat, seasoning, and spices, and that have a nice, even color. If you can, try to find hot dogs that are made with local or organic ingredients.
- Use a variety of toppings. The classic wormy weenie sandwich is topped with ketchup, mustard, and relish, but you can also use other toppings, such as sauerkraut, chopped onions, or chili. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations to find your favorite sandwich.
- Make sure the hot dogs are cooked properly. Hot dogs should be cooked until they are heated through and slightly browned, but not overcooked. Overcooked hot dogs will be tough and dry.
- Serve the sandwiches hot. Wormy weenie sandwiches are best enjoyed hot off the grill or out of the oven. If you're making them ahead of time, you can reheat them in the microwave or oven just before serving.
Conclusion:
Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fun and festive party food, wormy weenie sandwiches are a great option. They're easy to make, delicious, and always a hit with kids and adults alike. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give wormy weenie sandwiches a try. You won't be disappointed.
