Minute Cake

Pinterest is the newest obsession as of late. Something caught my eye, but I wasn't able to get back to it to post the link of where I found it.

Suffice to say: THIS IS DELICIOUSLY AMAZING.

Ingredients:

1 pkg Angel Food Cake Mix
1 pkg Your choice of Cake Mix
Water

Mix both cake mixes in a bag together until you can't tell they are two separate mixes.

Pour 1/3 cup of the mixture into a mug, add three tbsp of water and mix well. Make sure there are no lumps.

Microwave for one minute...and VOILA!

Cake!

Your welcome :o)

Christmas Crack

***Warning: Highly Addictive***

Miranda turned me onto this. After making them, I didn't realize how many other people make it too - just with a different name.

My husband works with a group of ladies that wants me to make more for them. Apparently they were well received!

Ingredients:

1 sleeve saltine crackers
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 11.5 oz. package chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and line a 10" x 15" cookie sheet with foil (the kind of sheet that has raised edges!). Spray with Pam, or grease VERY lightly with butter. Cover the cookie sheet with a single layer of saltines. Bring butter and brown sugar to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring with a whisk. Pour over the saltines, and try to spread it as evenly as possible. Place in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. When you remove it, the caramel mixture will be molten and boiling; allow to cool about 3 min, or until you can see the crackers distinctly, which will have shifted while baking. Push them back into order with a fork or knife.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the toffee and let sit for about 5 minutes to melt. Once melted spread chocolate evenly.

Refrigerate promptly.

Once hard, break the candy into small pieces and place in air tight containers. Store in the fridge until ready to enjoy.

I got the original recipe here:

Ideas for changes - add things on top like nuts, crushed candycane, etc. add white chocolate chips to create a marble effect.
