Pumpkin Twinkies

So, my BFF Chris was having a birthday party and since he and I are low carbers, I thought I'd get in the kitchen and make him something special.  I found a recipe for pumkin twinkies.  I didn't have the proper twinkie pan, so I used a silicon bar pan that I picked up at Homegoods.  I used this recipe for Pumpkin Mini Muffins from Maria Emmerich's site (except I used 5 eggs instead of 3), and they turned out awesome!  Even the non-low carbers loved them!  I did make a double batch of the icing of course.  :-)  Each twinkie had 3.4 gms carbs!!

**WARNING - I used Ideal, which I LOVE, for the icing and accidentally dropped some on the floor.  Before I picked it up, my French Bulldogs Barkley and Lola got to it.  It is mostly xylitol, which is toxic to dogs!!  We ended up having to take them to the Emergency Vet Clinic and they had to be monitored all night.  Barkley had to be kept longer because his blood glucose dropped too low and they had to start him on a drip.  We got him home 24 hours after the incident and is doing fine so far.  I will be VERY careful from now on when using the Ideal.  Please keep your doggies away from it, apparently they love it as much as I do!!
