How To Tuesday - Chocolate!

I fully intended on sharing a pattern today but with orders pending, my sewing area (aka my kitchen table...) was not in any shape for me to start another project. So this How To Tuesday is going to be a baking day!

A friend posted this fabulous looking recipe on her blog a while back and I have been dying to try it! But I didn't have any M&Ms.... or yellow cake mix.... or the desire to go to the store... 

So I improvised - which happens to be my favorite thing while cooking or baking! I get it from my dad... only I don't substitute frozen fruit punch concentrate for butter in chocolate chip cookies or left over macaroni salad (with pickles) on pizza....

As I said, I didn't have any yellow cake mix or M&M but I did have Devil's Food Cake and peanut butter. Umm yummmm! 

1 box of Devil's Food Cake (I'm a big fan of the Moist Supreme... and not just because it was on sale for $0.99... must be the cup of pudding in every box...)

1/2 melted butter (I used margarine because I only keep butter in the house during Christmas cookie baking season)

2 eggs

peanut butter (or hersey's kisses or peanut butter cups or what ever you want)

powdered sugar (optional)

*mix cake mix, butter, and eggs

*roll into 1 inch balls

*roll ball in powdered sugar (optional) and place on baking sheet

*using the end of a wooden spoon or your thumb, create space for peanut butter (or candy of choice)

*add peanut butter

*bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes (don't over cook!)

Yummy, easy, cheap, and chocolate! What more could you ask for??? Unless you are my daughter... apparently she doesn't care for chocolate cookies....
