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!
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

When choosing a shortbread cookie for this recipe, chose Keebler Sandies Simply Shortbread. Girl Scout Cookies are made by LBB (Little Brownie Bakers), a subsidiary of Keebler. So they'd have the closest taste to the real thing.

My kids say these are better than the one's we got from the girl scouts! mmmm mmmmm On thing... I chose 24 servings.. I got about 34 and could have gotten more. The first 12 are going to be huge, but I skimped on the "sauce" a bit once I realized that and made the last 20 or so a bit more managable to eat. Thanks for the great treats!!
