Chocolate Trifle

Chocolate Trifle 
Amber Hershey 

1 box of either devil's food cake or brownies

1 regular size container of cool whip, thawed

1 large box of chocolate pudding

6-9 heath or skor bars (you could do pretty much any kind of candy bar, I just think these two are exceptionally good.)

Bake cake or brownies according to package directions, allow to cool completely. Once cool, break the cake/brownies up into small-ish pieces. I usually do this part by hand and they don't need to be uniform in size.

Make pudding according to box directions if making instant pudding. If making the kind that you cook, make sure you prepare it well enough in advance that it has time to cool completely.

Smash up the candy bars into fairly small pieces. 

Once all of that is done, start layering into a trifle dish. If you don't have a trifle dish you can layer into glasses or goblets. Do a layer of cake, a layer of pudding, a layer of cool whip, and a layer of candy bar bits. Repeat until ingredients are gone. I usually make this in a trifle dish and typically end up with 3 layers. 

You can serve this immediately and it will be delicious, but it gets even better if you give it time to chill in the fridge for a few hours before you serve it.

Cake Mix Cookies by Elisa Simmons

Any cake mix

2 eggs

1/3 cup oil (I use canola, but any kind should work...you also can substitute 1/2 the oil for a pureed fruit or veggie like applesauce or squash)

mix all the ingredients together. Make little round balls of the dough and place them on a greased cookie sheet, not too close together (I do three to a row). bake at 325 for 8-10 minutes. 

if you want, you can add chocolate chips, or nuts, or whatever. i like to take a chocolate cake mix, roll the dough balls in powdered sugar before baking, and the cookies come out fun looking and a little extra sweet!
