Carrot Cake Fudge

    Yes, you read that correctly. It's fudge that tastes like carrot cake! Talk about a rich and indulgent treat! This recipe made so much fudge that I had enough to bring some to both of my jobs this week! Where it has received rave reviews from my coworkers by the way! You're going to love it!

Carrot Cake Fudge

Ingredients:

For the bottom layer:

- 1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk

- 2 tablespoons of butter

- 18 ounces of white chocolate (9 squares of almond bark or 3 cups of chips)

- 1 cup of dry boxed carrot cake mix

- 1/2 cup of marshmallow fluff

For the top layer:

- 1 (14 ounce) can of cream cheese frosting, divided

- 6 ounces of white chocolate ( 3 squares of almond bark or 1 cup chips)

- 2 tablespoons of marshmallow fluff

- food coloring

    In a large heavy bottomed sauce pan melt together the butter, 18 ounces of white chocolate and the sweetened condensed milk. Stir until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cake mix. Once thoroughly combined, add the other 1/2 cup. Once that is combined, stir in 1/2 cup of marshmallow fluff. Mix well and pour into a parchment lined 9x13 baking dish. Let the bottom layer set in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. While it's setting, make the top layer. Clean out the sauce pan you just used and melt the 6 ounces of white chocolate over medium-low heat. Once melted, mix in 3/4 cup of the cream cheese frosting and 2 tablespoons of marshmallow fluff. Smooth that mixture on top of the bottom layer and place in the refrigerator to chill for an hour or two. Divide the remaining cream cheese in half. Color half of it orange and half of it green. Slice the fudge into bite sized pieces and pipe little frosting carrots on top.

Easy Fluffy Cake Cookies

    Let me start off by saying, this is probably one of my new favorite cookie recipes. It's been showing up everywhere, spreading like wildfire and for good reason! Because it's so easy!

    Ok, here's the deal. It's made with cake mix!!

                             What?!?!?!

   Yes! I feel they may belong in a semi-homemade category. But, once they are finished and you taste their cake-like fluffiness, you may never want to bother with regular cookies again!

                         They're amazing!

Ingredients:

- 1 box of cake mix

- 1 stick of butter softened

- 1 (8oz) package of cream cheese at room temperature

- 1 egg

- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

- powdered sugar for dusting

    Start off by beating together the butter, cream cheese, egg, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Then, add in the cake mix of your choice. Combine well, cover and chill for about an hour. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. After they have had time to chill, roll into 1 inch balls. Toss them in powdered sugar (this is optional) and place on a greased cookie sheet about an inch and a half apart from each other. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. It yields about 2 and a half dozen cookies.

     I really had a lot of fun with this recipe! I changed it up a few times and each time they came out tasting really good. I love how they fluff up like cake too! I think my favorite were the carrot cake. My friend Michael told me that the strawberries and cream version looked like little brains! Those may be cute for Halloween! You can really harness your creativity when it comes to these! When you pull them out of the oven they are super soft and perfect for pressing candy into. I put M&M's on top of my Devil's food cake cookies! Have fun with it! Experiment with your favorite cake mixes! Hope you love these as much as I do!
