Candy Bar Cake

This candy bar cake is the perfect solution to leftover candy.  Chop up a mixture of your favorite candy bars and turn them into a delicious cake.

The end of a holiday always seem to leave me with extra candy in the house. Whether it is from the trick or treat bucket or the Easter bunny, this cake is a great way to use up some of those extra candy bars.

The cake is moist and delicious and the candy bars give it a nice addition of chocolate, caramel, and crunch. It is easy to make, but be careful. You may find yourself going to the store to grab a couple more candy bars to make this cake again.

Ingredients Needed

• All Purpose Flour
• Sugar, granulated sugar and light brown sugar
• Butter
• Buttermilk
• Egg
• Pure Vanilla Extract
• Baking Soda
• Salt
• Candy Bars, 5 full size candy bars or 10 oz of fun size candy bars. You can use all of one kind of candy bar or use a mixture of your favorite candy bars.

How to Make Candy Bar Cake

• Combine sugars, flour and butter in a large bowl using a pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly and coarse.
• Set aside 1/2 of the crumb mixture in a separate bowl.
• Add buttermilk, egg, vanilla, baking soda and salt to the crumb mixture and mix well
• Pour the batter into a lightly greased 9×13 pan and smooth to the edges.
