Snickers Tall Cake

-
chocolate, caramel, cream cheese - oh me, oh my!



Snickers are my favorite candy bars so I had to try this! So far I haven't heard anyone here complaining about it!☺

This cake has been in my mind for a while, I just had to find time to actually make it. Definitely not the kind you would want around often, and definitely not the kind you would want a huge piece of but as special treats go, super yummy! It's nothing difficult, but I wasn't quite sure how I would do the icing, so I mulled it over for a while and decided to give this a shot. The brown sugar makes a yummy caramely flavor and the snickers candy bars don't hurt the flavor either.☺Put a drizzle of caramel topping around the edge and you've got yourself a winner!

For the cake I used the same Crazy Cake recipe that I used for Ho Ho Cake a few posts ago and baked it in three 9 inch round cake pans that I sprayed and fitted with waxed paper.



Bake @ 350° for 25 minutes or till a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and loosen cake from the sides by running a sharp knife around the edge. Turn cake out onto a waxed paper lined cooling rack. Carefully peel the waxed paper from the bottom.


Allow to cool completely.


For the icing:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar*
1cup brown sugar
16 ounces cool whip
16 fun size Snicker's candy bars, chopped
reserve some for garnish

Beat cream cheese and sugars *(pretty sure I would eliminate the powdered sugar the next time) until creamy and smooth. Add some of the chopped candy bars and cool whip and mix. Spread between layers-


 and over the top and sides of the cake.

say it with me...yummm!

Garnish with the rest of the chopped candy bars and a drizzle of caramel ice cream topping. Refrigerate until ready to serve.



This would also make a delicious trifle! and if made into a sheet cake or cupcakes would take less icing, therefore less sugar.☺

Be Blessed!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, start...
