Award Winning Bears in a Bubble Bath Mini Treats

Jennibear's Note:

These are the cutest treat for kids! They look like bears taking a bubble bath! They are delicious and not too messy - so they are easy to take to school/parties. (I came up with the idea after getting tired of taking cupcakes to school and having to deal with the mess!) They are also small enough for young children. Very easy to make when you use refridgerated cookie dough... My son entered these into a dessert contest when he was 5 years old and he won! Too cute!!

• Total Time: 22 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 12 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 24

Yield: 24.0 treats

• 1 (18 1/4 ounce) box chocolate cake mix
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 24 Rolo chocolates, unwrapped (optional)
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows
• 48 Teddy Grahams honey graham snacks (any flavor) or 48 Teddy Grahams chocolate graham snacks (any flavor) or 48 Teddy Grahams cinnamon graham snacks (any flavor)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix cake mix, melted butter and egg together. This should be like a soft dough. Take a spoonful of batter and roll into a small ball. Push dough ball into a mini-muffin tin. Take a Rolo and push into the center of the batter. Fill up the muffin tin and bake for 10 minutes. Take the muffin tin out and add 3-4 mini-marshmellows on top of each treat. Push in 2 Teddy Graham bear cookies into each treat. Bake for 2 more minutes to melt the marshmellows a bit. Cool and enjoy!
2. NOTE: Please use muffin tin liners and spray with cooking spray -- these treats get sticky!

These are super easy, quick, and super cute! I used a regular cupcake tin, not mini, and it was perfect. I think next time I'll only bake them for 8-9 minutes, they got a little hard after they cooled. They taste just like a brownie, and the kids (and adults) loved them!

Made these with my DGD for the holidays and had so much fun, they are so cute and taste so good, we used both white mini marshmellows and pepperment flavored pink swirled ones. The cake part taste a lot like a brownie - they looked great in our cookie tray.

If this isn't the CUTEST kid treat I have EVER seen! I made then to take to the family Christmas Eve party tonight. I used red velvet cake to make them more festive. Easy to do just takes a bit of time to get the tins lined with cookie dough. I use cupcake liners as suggested. We sprinkled with green sugar for added holiday pizzazz! CUTE! Thanks Jennibear, very clever!
