Candy Bar Cake
"When I first came up with this, my husband thought for sure I bought it at the bakery! The base for this is German chocolate cake mix, I prefer to use Duncan Hines."
- Ready In:
- 2hrs 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
16
ingredients
- 18 1⁄4 ounces German chocolate cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1 1⁄4 cups water
- 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 cups whipping cream
- 1⁄3 cup powdered sugar
- 12 1⁄2 ounces Snickers candy bars, chopped (it's easier to chop if frozen first)
- 1 cup peanuts, chopped
- caramel ice cream topping
- chocolate syrup
directions
- Prepare and bake cake according to package directions for a 9x13 cake using eggs, water and canola oil. Remove to cake plate and cool completely.
- Meanwhile, chill a large metal mixing bowl and mixing beaters. Combine chilled whipping cream and powdered sugar in chilled bowl. Beat with electric mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. To test, lift beaters from whipped cream - stiff peaks should remain on surface. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- When cake is cooled completely, frost with whipped cream. To decorate, pipe whipped cream along the top edge of the cake and along the bottom edge.
- Sprinkle the chopped candy bars in a rectangle on top of the cake, just within the piped edge, leaving an empty rectangle in the center. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts in the center rectangle.
- Put the ice cream toppings, separately, in two zipper sandwich bags. Cut the corner tip off of one of the bags and drizzle the ice cream topping in a zig-zag pattern across the whole cake diagnally (it's Ok if some gets on the piped edge). Repeat with the other bag and drizzle in the opposite direction.
- Refrigerate until serving time.

I was born in Chicago, IL and have lived in the area all my life. I love to cook and plan meals and always have. As a child I would watch Julia Childs on TV every day (she came on right after Mr. Rogers) and I have been interested in cooking ever since. Now that I have a family I enjoy the quick and easy recipes just as much as the more intricate ones. I didn't mind putting in the extra time and effort when I only cooked recreationally. I still like to do that sometimes, but for the day-to-day chore of cooking (and sometimes it is a chore) I like the option of fast and simple.
I enjoy trying new recipes and sharing favorites of mine. I have found that sometimes the most unlikely sounding ones turn out to be the best! I try to always review the recipes I try because I know how much I enjoy getting that feedback myself. Even when it is not necessarily positive because sometimes suggestions help me tweak things and make them better!
