Funfetti Snickers Cake Mix Bars

Hello and Happy Friday! I hope everyone is doing well and I hope everyone has a great weekend. I am super excited that the weather has cooled off for a brief moment so I can show you guys a super simple dessert.  Its only four ingredients and you can mix and match this however you like. It was inspired by Rolo Cake Mix Bars and I decided to make these because I need a quick treat for an amazing dinner I was invited to.

I had all of these ingredients on hand and decided to save money by sticking with these bars. I also wanted something simple too. All you need for this is a white cake mix, I only had a Funfetti mix so I used that, 5 oz of evaporated mix, 1/4 cup of butter and a candy of your choice. The original called for Rolos, but I knew I had the Snickers so I went with those. Since the Snickers are bigger than Rolo's, I chopped them into 3rds and placed them all over the cake mix. You guys this is super simple and quick I hope you guys try these and enjoy!

Here's how you do it:

this is the base, baked, and the Snickers on top. Feel free to use as many as you want.

Ingredients/Recipe

Adapted From Cookies and Cups

1 box (18.25 oz) Funfetti Cake Mix, or your choice, make sure it is 18.25 oz
5 oz evaporated milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
Around 15 Fun Size Snicker, cut into 3rds, or use as many as you like

Preheat oven to 350°

Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. In a bowl or mixer, beat cake mix, evaporated milk and butter until combined. The mixture will be thick and very sticky. Make a ball with the batter and divide it in half. Press  1 half into the bottom of the pan. **

Bake about 7 minutes and remove from oven and place the Snickers candies all over the cake base. Place the remaining batter on top of the Snickers. (See Note)

Bake for 20-24 minutes longer until top begins to golden.

Cool completely before cutting into squares.**

**Notes:

I find that when working with the batter, to have a small bowl filled with water, dip your fingers in the water so they are slightly moistened then press the cake on the bottom of the pan. This also helps when dropping teaspoons of the batter over the Snickers.

The bottom base will darken a little more than the top. Just watch so you don't over bake. Mine turned out fine.

I find that these taste even better the next day.


I hope you guys try these and enjoy!

Trick or Treat Pumpkin Spice Rice Crispy Treats

Hello everyone!! How are you this week? I am a little late this week posting a recipe but I will try to make up for it with an extra post this week. I got a few tricks up my sleeve. It has been gorgeous the past two days! I am sitting here with the patio door open and just sipping on my coffee, listening to the birds and enjoy this. I wish I had the day off, but I have to go into work in a couple hours.

I am in Halloween overload this week! I try to watch a ton of scary movies, the Simpsons Halloween Specials, Rosanne’s Halloween Specials, Food Network Halloween Specials and of course Halloween the movie. I actually wait until Halloween to watch that movie. I love having my baked goodies that day and I am trying to decide on a Halloween dinner. I am thinking of pumpkin pasta and garlic bread, Yum-O lol.

I also bought my Halloween candy last night. I was smart and used some coupons, but it is still expensive! I hope I get trick or treaters this year.

I wanted to share this recipe because it is getting close to Halloween and this would be great to make this week for a after school snack or work, or even for a Halloween party you are throwing or for your kids Halloween party. 

Pumpkin Spice Rice Crispy Treats. Yep you heard me right. You can find this awesome bag of Pumpkin Spice marshmallows at the store (I found mine at Wal-Mart).

Fall Food Finds part one…

How is everyone this cold, raining day (if you live in the Midwest)?  I am sitting here sipping a cup of coffee that is screaming hot.  I know you’re asking why screaming hot, because my heater is not working. Loads of joy. To be honest its not all that bad, but it is not fun either. I am planning my Halloween Baking so something will be going in the oven very soon to help warm it up while I am waiting for maintenance to come and fix my furnace.

I wanted to share a few food finds that I found recently.  I will be adding more as I find more fun foods! I hope you guys try these and enjoy!

Whoppers that taste like Peanut Butter, you cannot go wrong with Peanut butter

Ok Ok you can find it everywhere, but I am OBSESSED with this stuff

I know it has trans fats, but once in awhile its not bad. It has a nice Maple smell and slightly sweet taste

Good ol' Dunkin' Donuts. This was good, but has a spice undertone, not to much pumpkin

Found These at target. Taste pretty much like regular Dots

Yummy candy corn dots!
