5.0 out of 5 starsMuch Better Than the Original Snacks!
By Daniel F. Moore on March 16, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
When I read that Hostess was going out of business, I thought about the snacks that I had enjoyed as a kid. Atop the list was Hostess Orange Cupcakes and though I hadn't tasted one in years, I nevertheless lamented the 'death' of an old favorite. I bought this book based on reviews and I was shocked when I saw the the recipe for my old standby, Hostess Orange Cupcakes! I did a quick inventory of ingredients on hand and went to the grocery store to pick up the missing items. OMG..these are better than the originals! They have a more pronounced orange flavor, are more moist and don't have that boxed mix taste. Subsequently, I tried the Twinkies recipe and it too, was an upgrade over the original. I had a recipe from one of the Top Secret Recipes books that used a boxed white cake as the basis for the cakes; this one tastes homemade and that makes a big difference in the quality.
On the basis of just these two recipes, I highly recommend this book. Now, as for those Cheez-Its......

5.0 out of 5 starsI can finally avoid the nastiness at the grocery store
By SJS on February 5, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Like most Americans, I grew up eating a wide variety of things that might be considered "junk food." Twinkies, Cheeze-Its, Oreo cookies, and Doritos. As an adult, I tend to avoid these things because I want to live a healthier lifestyle and shy away from all the preservatives that are found in grocery store snacks... but that doesn't mean I don't miss these treats.

I'm so unbelievably stoked to have this book in my hands. Now I can make all the munchies I miss with a little less guilt, using ingredients in my own kitchen that I trust (way better than the insanely complicated dyes, flavorings, and preservatives packed into the original versions). The author's Oreo cookie recipe alone is worth the price of this book. Same with the Cheetos.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat fun making snacks we all eat
By Matthew Rolak on February 6, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is a great resource and source of entertainment in baking/cooking! We know we all eat this stuff and grew up loving at least 1 or 2 of the items (Doritos and Goldfish crackers for sure!)... now you can play with making your own versions! It's not health food or even 'healthier versions' really but that's not the point of the book. The recipes in this book are trying to be as true to the inspirational treat as can be done. And in many cases they not only hit the mark but exceed it.

I've made several of them so far and they have all been fun and easy to understand. There are helpful tips in the book on where to get a few of the more 'interesting' tools/ingredients which can really help when your local grocery store looks at you like a crazy person when you ask "Do you have any powdered cheddar cheese?"

Great format for a fun cookbook for myself and for making treats with friends or my 3 and 7 year old. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 starsFun recipes
By jt on March 11, 2013
Format: Paperback
We make almost everything from scratch and at home. We very rarely eat boxed, premade, prepackaged, conventional (whatever you want to call it) foods. That means we don't eat fig newtons (except for occasionally when I buy the organic brand), oreos, anything hostess, donuts, potato chips, etc, unless I make them and to tell you the truth I haven't really thought about making this type of foods before; I guess I just figured that these things are bought at the grocery store and not made at home. But boy I was wrong! This book is awesome if you are want to eat these types of foods but want to cut out some of the unwanted ingredients that are in prepackaged convenient foods. I don't think that all the recipes taste exactly the same as their name brand counterparts, but they are a close second and they are much healthier for you. Although, I am not saying that these recipes are healthy - the recipes still call for things such as sugar, white flour, corn syrup, vegetable oil, and vegetable shortening. However, I would much rather eat an occasional treat that has sugar, white flour, and vegetable oil in it than eat the unpronounceable artificial chemicals, preservatives, and colorings in grocery store boxed foods.

One of the things that I really like about this cookbook is that each recipes tells the total time needed (including chilling and cooking time), a level of difficulty, and special equipment. This means that if I know I only have an hour to make something then I shouldn't pick a recipe that is super hard and takes 4 hours. I also love that the recipes include the difficulty level so I know which recipes will be easy to make with kids and which I should conquer after bedtime.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic
By Garrett M. Mccord on February 8, 2013
Format: Paperback
Homemade goldfish crackers have changed my life. Hit them with some fleur de sel and mix a bit of dried chives in there and I am a happy goddamn camper. An excellent book for anyone who wanted a taste of nostalgia without all the chemical compounds that usually come with them. The peeps are also outstanding and best if you let them dry out for a day or two, first.
