Cake Batter Bark
Let's end 2010 with a bang, shall we?! THIS RECIPE IS UNREAL.
A have a little system to blogging, and basically at any given point I have 5-10 recipes photographed, edited, and ready to be blogged. When you see something on here I probably ate it 2-3 weeks ago. The truth behind this recipe? The chocolate is still on my fingers. Yes- literally. ::Runs off to wash hands::
I just made this for New Year's Eve and I am so excited to share this recipe with you that I CAN'T WAIT 2-3 weeks. I must share it now. This is, hands down, my new favorite "dessert" recipe. I will make this for everyone I know. I will make this for breakfast. I will make this for lunch. I will gain 30 pounds. And I will lick my fingers happily with every bite.
Make this- please, do. And don't worry about using a bit of cake mix and having a box left- you can still make the cake- it won't miss 1.5 teaspoons of the mix. Or make more bark. 'Cause that's my plan.

Ingredients:
7 ounces good dark chocolate (I used Trader Joe's brand)
12 ounces good white chocolate (I used Ghirardelli)
1.5 heaping tsp. yellow bake mix
Colored sprinkles
Directions:
1- Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave, over a double burner, or over low flame. Spread thinly over parchment paper of a silpat.
2- Cool in the freezer for 20 minutes.
3- Melt the white chocolate. Add the cake mix, stir well. Spread over the dark. (Do a little bit at a time because it will melt the chocolate and it won't look as pretty.)
4- Top with rainbow sprinkles. Freeze for 20 more minutes.
5- Break into pieces and keep in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat it.
OMG, you got me, I love cake batter... I love cake batter anything.
ReplyDeleteWhen do you add the cake batter?
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle- I was so excited I skipped the most important step! LOL! I fixed the recipe, thanks again!

ReplyDeleteNot a problem! I'm supposed to be on a diet but have to make this!
ReplyDeleteYou are not helping my 2011 weight loss plan. I will definitely be trying this.
ReplyDeleteMrs. G- HAHA! I know, that's why I posted it today before January 1st hits and everyone goes on a diet. ::wink wink::
ReplyDeleteI've been dreaming about this recipe since I saw first saw it, which means, I just need to get off this couch and make it. :)
ReplyDeletethis looks amazing! ditto to all the comments about ruining diets...but if I figure out the points MAYBE I can indulge... :)

ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie! I found you on Petit Chef and your recipe "spoke" to me!! I'll make it tomorrow - I figure I have two more days of eating before I have to start my diet on Monday! So thanks, I think! xo, Nan

ReplyDeleteSuch a festive, unique dessert! Anything with rainbow sprinkles & cake batter is bound to be delicious. I can't wait to try it. And I love your pictures!
ReplyDeletethats looks fabulous and its pretty
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna make this this week for a party- one question. When you say "Spread thinly over parchment paper of a silpat" do you mean have a piece of parchment paper on top of the silpat? Or did you mean use parchment paper or a silpat?
ReplyDeleteHaha- yup- I meant OR. Sorry :)
ReplyDeleteHi! I found this after looking at the cake batter cookies and would like to make it but have a question (probably a dumb one :) do you put in the dry cake mix or do you make the cake mix and add it wet?
ReplyDeleteHillary- just add the dry mix! It's delish- enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I made this and the cake batter cookies tonight. They turned out just right.:-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, maybe someone should make this for my birthday!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what I did wrong but I didn't think there was anything particularly interesting or UNREAL about this recipe. It tasted like ordinary bark to me and I couldn't taste the cake batter at all. I even added more then the 1.5 tsp the recipe calls for.
