Homemade Oreo Cream Cheese Tarts

These are so easy to make and yet
they look as if they took hours to make.
With the use of a Devil's Food Cake Mix
these will be ready to serve in an hour.

Homemade Oreo Cream Cheese Tarts
1 Devil's Food Cake Mix
1/2 C. Oil
2 Eggs

Cream Cheese Filling
8 oz. Cream Cheese~ softened
1(3.5 oz) Cheese Cake Instant Pudding
1 tsp.Vanilla
2 C. Powdered Sugar
Milk

Preheat oven to 350
Start by mixing the cake mix, oil and eggs
together in a mixing bowl until well blended.
Roll dough into 2 inch balls, press into
a Whoopie Pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
Let cookies cool in pan for a minute
before removing.
While cookies are baking, you can make
your filling. In a mixing bowl beat together the
cream cheese, and powdered sugar until
smooth. Add in the pudding mix, and vanilla.
Beat until smooth. This will be thick,
you then add in enough milk to make it
smooth enough to pipe into each tart shell.

For the chocolate drizzle, I just take some
chocolate chips and melt them down .
Drizzle over top and you're all set!

A Chocolate lovers dream,

Butterfinger Bomb Cake

This is the Bomb!
It also is my husband's favorite cake. He asks for it every Birthday. It is a great cake to take for a potluck. You will receive rave reviews and many requests for the recipe.



1 Chocolate Cake Mix *(I like to use Betty Crocker)
1 C. Sour Cream
1 Jar Caramel Ice Cream Topping
4 regular size Butterfinger Candy Bars
1 (8 oz.) Cool Whip Topping

Mix & bake cake to directions on box, plus adding in the sour cream. Bake in a 9×13″ pan While still warm, poke holes all over cake using the end of a wooden spoon. Pour caramel topping over the warm cake and “into” the holes (reserve 5 TBSP). Then set in fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes. Spread Cool Whip over cake. Next crush Butterfingers and sprinkle on Cool Whip. Finish by drizzling remaining caramel over cake.
Store cake in refrigerator.

Let me know what you think.

Lip Smackin Lemon Bundt Cake

I am a HUGE lover of Lemon flavor and tartness.
So when I am craving something tart, tangy and sweet
THIS is my go to recipe to make!
It is very time saving with the use of a store
bought cake mix and frosting.
Although if you have time to spare,
make the frosting yourself..YUM!

Lip Smackin Lemon Bundt Cake
1 (18.25 oz.) Box Lemon Cake Mix
1 (1oz) Instant Lemon Pudding-I used SF.
3/4 C. Oil
3 Egglands Best Eggs
1/2 C. F.F. Sour Cream
1 TBSP Lemon Juice
Lemon Zest
1 (16 oz.) Lemon Frosting

Preheat Oven to 350
Beat together all ingredients until smooth. You can make this in a 9x13 pan or Bundt pan. Grease sides of pan well if using a bundt.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until center is cooked through. 
While cake is warm pour glazed over the top. 
*For Bundt cake wait until you can flip cake onto plate, then glaze.
I then take the store bought Lemon Frosting and
stir into it 3 TBSP of lemon juice.
Drizzle over cooled cake.
*This cake is very freezer friendly, just wrap in plastic
wrap and freeze up to 2 weeks.
Lemon Lovin Lark!
