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!
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.

Very good! It was my first time making chocolate/marshmallow bars and it was a delicious surprise. I changed the recipe a bit however. I thought that making the extra topping part would be a little hassle, so instead of making the toppings I just added 1 cup of sweetened chocolate chips to the actual base dough. Also I had to cook the bars a little longer than what it suggests, but other than that it turned out nice! Very yummy!
