National Texas Twinkie Day is back for year FOUR 🤠🔥

If you’ve never had a Texas Twinkie from @hutchins_bbq , picture a jalapeño stuffed with smoked brisket and cream cheese, wrapped in bacon, and smoked again. It’s one of the best bites in DFW!

Here’s what you need to know:
📅 Friday, Oct. 16: Texas Twinkies are just $5 each (limit 4 per person)

🎟️ Oct. 14–16: charity raffles at both Hutchins locations, with chances to win multiple prizes

💛 Raffle proceeds support The Samaritan Inn in McKinney and Frisco Family Services in Frisco

Good BBQ for a good cause.

Mark your calendar and bring a friend (or don’t, and keep all 4 for yourself 😏)

📍 Hutchins BBQ, McKinney & Frisco
