Are you Cooking with the right Candy?

Back when I was in college I ended up dating a really nice girl who loved to bake some of the most tasty things.  Surprisingly, this young lady was very slender and surly didn't shy away from her own creations.  One of the best things she ever made felt like it was custom made just for me. (It probably was)  I have to say that the recipe is really rather simple but the end results were amazing.  I think she got the idea from eating some of my mom's banana pudding recipe.  Which is really more like a banana cake and pudding mix.  Instead of doing bananas she ended up skipping the healthy side and going right for our favorite candy box candy.

So what you start with is a giant bowl.  The bowl is the main part and I like to think of it as a full size popcorn bowl.  If it can hold two bags or batches of popcorn then it is the right size bowl.  Then you end up heading to the store and getting a chocolate cake mix.  It actually takes two boxes of this and you will also need to pick up a tub of cool whip as well.  From here you need to get your favorite candy boxes or bags of candy.  I prefer chocolate and really recce cups for my favorite.  Don't forget to get two packages of chocolate pudding as well.  That is it, now you can get ready to bake a yummy dessert.


So first thing you do is to put the two cake mixes into a few pans and bake just as the boxes say.  From that point on you also need to get a big bowl and make the pudding.  There is no need to be picky and put them in two separate bowls.  This mix will all go together anyway.  So once the cake is done it is best to let it cool and cut it into small squares. 

 Well make them half the size of a normal piece of cake.  Then when you are done make a single layer of them stacked together in your gain popcorn bowl. Then add a layer of pudding and cool whip. Then take your reese cups and layer them. And continue this process till you reach the top, usually 3 layers.  Then on top use a full layer of cool whip and pudding topped with recce cups. ENJOY it is my favorite and I hope you find yours as well.
