These Locally-Made "Twinkies" Are Safe From Bankruptcy

The bankruptcy of Hostess has triggered a buying frenzy of snack-lovers looking to get their favorite junk food while they can.

Our nation's beloved Twinkies may survive the selling of the company, but that hasn't stopped a nationwide panic from Hostess fans everywhere. A world without Twinkies isn't a world with living in apparently.

Good thing the Red Arrow Diner, which has locations in Milford and Manchester, has a version of this golden treat that isn't going away anytime soon: Dinah Fingers.

Here is what they had to say on their Facebook page:

Hostess may be out of Twinkies, but the Red Arrow Diner has its own version of a Twinkie (Dinah fingers) fresh out of the oven and ready to eat!

This homemade version of this classic dessert has plenty of fans on Facebook, many of whom prefer it over the original. Here is what they had to say on Red Arrow's Facebook page: 

"I'm not a fan of Twinkies, but I've been telling folks: "Don't Panic! Red Arrow will take care of you!" - Mike Ruff 

"Love these over store bought any day!" - Linda Patterson Jackson 

"And there made of ingredients you can pronounce!" - Robert Palladino 

"saving grace!! my husband was so disappointed when he thought he was losing his twinkies!" - Kaitlyn Ford
