Better Than Anything Cake

It has been a rough week of high temperatures and high humidity here in Minnesota. It actually feels like Florida minus the palm trees. Thank goodness for air!

Because of the heat I have not been doing any baking or cooking for that matter, until of course yesterday. I needed to make a dessert for the fourth because I was having company over that evening. I was at first going to make jello cake, but I came across this recipe and it sounded so darn good that I had to give it a try.

Better Than Anything Cake

I found the recipe on http://www.chef-in-training.com/2012/06/better-than-anything-cake/ . The picture of the cake was just mouth watering that I had to go ahead and try and make this. I also like how easy the recipe was and heck I just happen to have everything I needed to make this.

This cake was easy to make and about the only thing that I would change or do different is I think I could get away with using 2 Heath bars. I just put my candy bars in my little Cooks food processor and it crushed the candy bars up nicely. I also think that maybe Snickers would be another good candy bar to use on this.

Well here's the recipe and enjoy!
