Sugar Surrender: Better-Than-Anything

It's hump day! I'm so excited for the weekend. This weekend I will be packing up and heading to Covington for a three day Jesus filled vacation from life that we like to call "Winter Retreat". It's gonna be good stuff. I'll have a special non-baking post about it when I get back because it's just that awesome!

Last night, as many of you probably know, was the season premiere of the last season of LOST. Now - I haven't kept up with lost but Tyler L-O-V-E-S it. So we had a date night at his house to watch it with his family! Hooray. We had hot wings, salad, and chili... and better-than-anything cake.

Tyler is like the hot wing master. This boy can make a mean hot wing. For real.

He faithfully braved the freezing cold.. it was seriously so cold. And windy. All in the name of delicious hot wings!

Yummy salads!

Now here comes the best part. The cake. Ohhh, the cake.

Are you ready for this? Brace yourself for yummy-goodness.

You're gonna need:

1 box of milk chocolate cake mix

1 tub of cool whip

1 bag mini Heath bars or two regular size ones

I like to keep it simple.

Can'tcha tell?

Heath bars are one of my favorites. I had to sneak a few before I crushed them up. But you must.. crush them into little tiny bits.

Turns into...

Please notice the awesome mallet like thing. Mix your cake mix according to the box. Kristi let me use her super amazing Kitchen Aid stand mixer. It was glorious. I want one soooo bad.

Mixing, mixing... doesn't it look glorious? Now pour it into the pan - I used 9x13.

Bake @ 350 until you can poke a tooth pick through and it comes out clean!

Let cool COMPLETELY.

Thirty minutes later that turns into this:

It's really important to let it cool completely. We stuck ours outside for a few minutes. It was so cold out there that cooled it up real nice! Now you get to top it with your Cool-Whip "frosting".

After you slather it with a generous amount of Cool-Whip sprinkle with your crushed up Heath bar.
