Cake Batter Chocolate Bark

The other thing I made for our company Bake Sale was Cake Batter Chocolate Bark. Another Pinterest find originally from the blog How Sweet It Is. It was probably one of the easiest things I've ever made, although a bit expensive if you buy the good chocolate. 

Ingredients:
  • 6 oz high quality dark chocolate (I used Lindt 70%)
  • 12 oz high quality white chocoolate (I used Ghirardelli)
  • 3 teaspoons of yellow cake mix (although, I think you could use more. Just be sure to add in a little at a time to make sure it all dissolves in the warm chocolate.
  • sprinklers of your choice
  • Foil cake pan lined with parchment paper
Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler. Pour the chocolate into the pan. Smooth it out with a spatula to the thickness you want. You don't have to go all the way to the sides. Stick whole pan in the freezer for 20 minutes. 

Melt white chocolate. Whisk in cake mix slowly, stirring well until no lumps remain. Let it set for 3 full minutes or until it slightly thickens. Remove baking sheet from freezer and pour white chocolate mix on top. Smooth out quickly so that it doesn't start to melt the bottom layer. 

Sprinkle on sprinklers and freeze again for 20 minutes.

Once set, break into chunks and keep refrigerated.




For the sale, I put a few pieces in clear favor bags and tied a bow around it. It was the perfect little  festive treat. This would also be a good treat for birthday parties, showers, or holidays with coordinating colored sprinkles.

Homemade Chocolate Candy

My grandma sends me homemade goodies every holiday. Last year she sent me the recipe along with her famous Chocolate Deluxe Candy, so this year I decided to make it myself! It turned out soo yummy, so here is the recipe for everyone to try!

1/2 pound baking chocolate
1/4 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup spanish peanuts
1 1/4 cup rice krispies

Melt the chocolate and peanut butter in a bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds. If it isn't melted, heat again for a few seconds or until melted. Be careful not to overheat since chocolate burns easily. Mix in nuts and rice krispies. Spread a thin layer of mixture on a large piece of wax paper. Put in fridge and let dry for an hour. Break into pieces and store in a sealed container. Now you have a scrumptious candy to serve during the holiday season!!


Enjoy!!!
