Hope everyone had a great weekend! 'Tis the season for Friends-giving, Thanksgiving, Sweater Parties, and Christmas! We are finally getting to the part of the year where just about everything weekend from now until the end of the year is filled with some sort of activity. Last weekend we had a Friends-giving, and this weekend we had a birthday, a friendly get together, and a REAL Thanksgiving. Fortunately I only had to bring dessert, and figured I'd share a super easy dessert item that I've made 3 times in the past 3 weeks.
Normally at Thanksgiving at my Parent's house I am in charge of the dessert items. I can cook just about anything, but desserts and baking are NOT my specialty, so it's a good time to practice. These don't have a "real" name, so I call them Oreo Funfetti Cake Bars, and I found the recipe on Pinterest. Robert and I LOVE Oreos (more like addicted...) and this was right up my alley of ease.
What you'll need:
-2 packages of Double Stuffed Oreos (I've made them with regular Oreos, and Double Stuffed is the way to go!)
-1 Box Funfetti Cake Mix (This is really cheap, so I got mine at Dollar General for $1)
-1 Egg
-1/4 Cup Milk
-1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray a 9x13 (I think) baking pan with some cooking spray. You can use a smaller pan if you want too. Layer Oreos side by side on the bottom of the pan (this will be your "crust").
3. In a large mixing bowl, mix the package of cake mix, egg, milk, and oil together until a thick dough forms.
4. Spread the dough batter over the bottom Oreo layer (this will be really thick). This was the hardest step, as the Oreos weren't glued down and kept moving when the sticky dough was being spread. I used a mixture of my hands and a spoon to spread it evenly. It doesn't have to look pretty-so don't worry if this looks messed up.
5. Once the batter is smoothed down over the bottom layer of Oreos, sprinkle about 8-10 crushed Oreos over the top. I kind of press them into the batter so they don't stick out too much.
6. Bake @ 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Let cool. I stuck the pan in the fridge for an hour or so (depending how much time you have), and then cut the cake bars into little squares for easy access.
7. Enjoy!
These have been a hit so far at every event they've been brought too, and they are super easy to make! You can find the recipe on my Pinterest Board or the original website that I found this on (complete with pictures!). The original site made these with the Halloween Oreos, which are just as yummy, and I bet you could customize the different type of Oreos/Cake to use for each occasion. Oh the possibilities.
My next dessert challenge will be completed this Thursday, and it's called Sex in a Pan (I didn't make that up), and here's a sneak peak of the picture of what it's supposed to look like:
'Til Thursday then!
