What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

An easy way to make your own candy bars (or is that candy bark?). Just stir your favorite add-ins into the melted chocolate coating (white, dark, milk, etc) and let harden in desired shapes. For an extra decorative touch, drizzle some contrasting chocolate over the bark once it has cooled.
3 cups melted chocolate or white chocolate coating
2 cups your choice of filling such as coconut, pecans, almonds, toffee, corn flakes, Rice Krispies or any other nuts, etc.
Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper or greased foil. Melt the chocolate as directed on package.
Combine the melted chocolate coating and your choice of filling ingredients in a bowl until well mixed. Work quickly as the chocolate will harden as it cools.
Spread the chocolate mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet. Let the bark cool and harden and then break into pieces.
You can also spoon the chocolate mixture into desired shapes instead of spreading it out and tint the chocolate as desired for holidays.
For Christmas you can make wreaths with green chocolate and corn flakes and for Easter you can make nests from yellow chocolate and coconut.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

I give this a five! Delish!!! And SUPER EASY! I put in a little bit of peanut butter for extra flavor.... my family loved it! I want to make this with toffee next. I don't think it will last through the day! :)

This recipe is super easy. I used chocolate bark and raw almonds. It got rave reviews and now I want to try it again with other ingredients. It's a keeper. Kris in CO
