Devil's Food Cake Mix Cookies

    Valentine's Day is quickly approaching! I'm on the lookout for cute and yummy Valentine's treats. Send me ideas! These chocolate cookies are so rich and chocolatey! This is not my first rodeo when utilizing boxed cake mix to make cookies. It's so darn convenient! Just like my recipe for Easy Fluffy Cake Cookies, you could change up the type of cake mix that you are using in this recipe. I thought that these would be perfect as devils's food and rolled in pink sugar for Valentine's!

Devil's Food Cake Mix Cookies

Ingredients:

- 1 box of devil's food cake mix

- 1 teaspoon of baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon of salt

- 2 eggs

- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil

- 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

- coarse sugar or sprinkles for rolling

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the cake mix, baking powder, and salt. Next, add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Mix well until combined. Scoop tablespoon sized cookies, roll them in sugar, and line them on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let them cool and enjoy!

Butterfinger Candy

    It's Valentine's week already! Butterfinger candy bars are soooooo good. I bet you didn't know that you could make a similar treat at home in your microwave. Usually candy corn is obviously orange so this would be a cute idea for Halloween too. I can see myself cutting out little pumpkins already. But, it's Valentine's and I found pink and red candy corn, score! Get creative and have fun with them!

Butterfinger Candy

Ingredients:

- 1 pound of candy corn

- 2 cups of creamy peanut butter

- 2 (8 ounce) packages of candy melts, whatever colors you'd like

- sprinkles

    Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with tin foil, I like to spray it lightly with non-stick spray as well. Pour the candy corn into a medium sized microwave safe bowl. Heat on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir. Microwave on high in 30 second intervals until they are completely melted and smooth. Stir in the peanut butter. You can place back in the microwave if it starts to get too hard while stirring. This may take some muscles and patience. Once the mixture is combined, pour into prepared dish and flatten with a spatula or clean hands. Let cool in the refrigerator for an hour. Cut into desired shapes. Melt candy melts according to the directions and decorate!
