Instructions

• Unwrap a pair of Twinkies. Slice one diagonally as shown in the photo, from just below the curve on one side to just above the curve on the other side. Slice the other Twinkie diagonally in the opposite direction.
  
• Match up the two outside Twinkie halves to form a heart (the two inside halves will also form a heart).
  
• Stick a wood skewer through the Twinkie halves to secure them together. Cut the skewer so it extends a few inches on either side of the heart. Use jelly hearts to make the skewer look like an arrow, as shown.
  
• If desired, add frosting and sprinkles. Serve immediately.
