Light and fluffy cookie bars made from simple ingredients including one boxed cake mix, chocolate chips, AND mini m&ms! – – I’ve been sick all week. And all I’ve wanted is comfort food. So what’s comforting? Chocolate! Of course. I mean this isn’t good for you, but it sure is delicious. It’s really a cross between a cake and a cookie. It’s so light and fluffy that it’s not really a cookie, but you can eat it with one hand without it crumbling, and it’s so festive with the chocolate chips and mini m&ms! Honestly, my thought while making these…

Topped with sprinkles, of course. – – These are an easy little snack to whip up, and my goodness, they’re just de-lish! They’re bite-sized, so watch out, because it’s so easy to say “Oh I’ll just have one or two” and find the whole pan–or two–gone in a flash! Do I regret? Nope. I always keep some funfetti cake batter on hand just for “cake-batter” flavored things. I make them often enough (like cake batter pancakes or cake batter chocolate chip cookies) that…

Happy birthday to me! That’s right, September 8th is my birthday! And keeping in the tradition of making goodies for people’s birthdays…I couldn’t well leave myself hanging! But since it was raining yesterday and I was too lazy to get some mint extract for mint chocolate chip cookies, I decided to go with what I had on hand and make some funfetti fudge! I actually really like the funfetti cake mix in this because I like the sprinkles that come in it. They’re crunchy and hold up well without being too hard or distracting from the cake-batter flavor! This…

This recipe comes from a random late-night craving! It’s an amaaaazingly simple recipe and if you’re going to eat pancakes anyway, why not spruce up those plain jane pancakes with some cake batter? Everything is better with cake batter. And make sure you reserve some sprinkles for topping! Gotta make sure there’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that these are cake batter! And the only way to do that is with sprinkles obviously. I will say, if you make this, I suggest making at least a 1/4 c. extra batter or more. Because there’s definitely potential for sneaking some of…

So here comes the wonderful-ness of cake batter and chocolate. Seriously, who needs an oven? Basically this is cake batter cookie dough wrapped in the sweet shell of chocolate. I made these truffles for a co-worker’s birthday. He really wanted me to make this awesome birthday cake recipe from momofuku’s milkbar, however, since this is the week before Christmas, there was no way I was going to slave over that recipe on the busiest week I’ve had in a while (which includes the ones around Thanksgiving that I whined about in my last post. <3). I’ve been up late every…

These are yum and fun to pull out! I found that the recipe I used (see below) was actually a bit sweet, and judging by my taste-test of the batter, I think the cookies lost some of their cake-batter-ness with the addition of the sugars. No, I didn’t eat 4 cookies worth of dough … >.>. Shhhhh. Next time I think I’ll try leaving out the sugar. Or maybe make a full batch leaving all sugar out of one half, and adding only brown sugar to the other half. Will have to do some experimenting. I know all my friends…
