What is your favorite sweet to eat?

I have eaten lots of sweets in my lifetime, but this weekend we made a butterfinger cake. It was to die for! It a refrigerator cake, and melt in your mouth good! 

Here is the recipe:

Butterfinger Cake

1 box Devil's Food cake mix prepared by package instructions
1 12.25 ounce Caramel topping (for ice cream)
1 can (12 oz) Eagle Brand Milk
2 ea Butterfinger candy bars crushed
1 Cool whip topping

Prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the package, and bake in a 13" x 9" pan. As soon as you remove it from the oven, poke holes all over the top of the cake, piercing deeply with a large fork or a sharp knife. Pour the caramel topping over the cake while it's still hot, distributing it evenly with a spoon. Pour the canned milk over the caramel topping, and spread it over the cake with a spoon. Sprinkle the crushed candy bars over the milk, reserving about 1/3 of a bar for garnish. Let the cake cool completely. Top with Cool Whip, and garnish with the remainder of the candy bar. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

This is indeed the best thing I have had to eat yesterday and today.  YUMMY!!!!

Do You Like Chocolate Eclairs?

Then you have to try this-

Chocolate Eclair Cakeby Debbie Mortensen

1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
4 large eggs
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 large box (5.1 ounces) vanilla instant pudding
3 cup milk
1 8 oz. container cool whip (just enough for a thin layer. I don't use the whole container)
chocolate syrup

Preheat oven to 400. Lightly grease a 9"X13" glass baking pan.

Eclair Crust: In a medium saucepan, melt butter in water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in flour. Mix in one egg at a time, mixing completely before adding another egg. Spread mixture into pan, covering the bottom and sides evenly. *If the sides of your pan are too greased you won't be able to get the mixture to stay up the sides so make sure to just lightly grease.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown (Mine only took 25 minutes.) You may want to check it occasionally-you don't want to overcook the crust, it will ruin the cake! Remove from oven and let cool (don't touch or push bubbles down).

Filling: Whip cream cheese in a medium bowl. In separate bowl make vanilla pudding. Make sure pudding is thick before mixing in with cream cheese. Slowly add pudding to cream cheese, mixing until there are no lumps. Let cool in fridge.When the crust is completely cooled, pour filling in. Top with layer of cool whip however thick you want it and serve with chocolate syrup.

I have made it and loved it and hubby keeps asking when we are having it again.
