Texas Twinkies are my favourite bbq appetizer/side, what’s your go to?


I’ve done these with brisket, pulled pork, chorizo, jalapeño cheddar venison smokies… straight cheese. Literally every combo slaps! Curious what other folks like to make! I’ve also done a monster version I named Dino Eggs, using poblanos.. I’ll post that one in the comments

    Yep texas twinkies are the best. Most other bbq appetizers have too much meat and cheese. I like to put onions in the cream cheese to keep the richness down.

    I make a variation of these with habanero peppers. I put diced mango and cilantro in the cream cheese. You need some big habaneros, but when you find them at the store, it’s definitely worth it.

    Those look great! A super simple one I’ve done before is bacon wrapped water chestnuts. It’s impossible to make enough to have leftovers. Coat with bbq sauce or plain ketchup or sprinkle with pepper and/or brown sugar for a candied treat.

    Chips and salsa are my favorite, especially roasted.

    Those look so good! What’s the trick to getting the bacon to stay wrapped during the cook? Mine always tend to unravel slightly.

    Shotgun shells. The family can’t get enough of them.

    Stuff them with buffalo chicken dip, that’s been my favorite so far
