There is no Twinkie equivalent in terms of flavour, texture, and chemical composition, however, there is a thing called "Tunnock's Caramel Wafer" which has abominably high sales volume.
Perfect! Thank you, Peter. I sensed my Creme Egg suggestion was a bit wide of the mark, but now I know why.
Mistral, the Tunnock's Caramel Wafer is the way to go. I bet they'd deep-fry marvelously, too.
I wish to say thanks to everyone who's contributed to this thread. My Dumpling now has lots of choices to gratify his sweet tooth. With regards to Tunnock's products, two questions: do their Snowballs have a high enough visibility to be recognizable? (because we have a product called Snowballs here, so that might work well on both sides of the Atlantic); and do I need to specify Tunnock's, or will 'Caramel Wafer' or 'Snowball' get the idea across?
