Do you feel like everything is “cake batter” flavor lately?  I feel like it is taking over, kind of like wasabi and truffle oil did a few years ago.  Also owls and mustaches…..and the color blue, grayish blue to be exact.  My entire house happens to be grayish blue.  What can I say?  I guess I am a follower.  Do you remember when everyone had a red room, usually a dining room, about 10 years ago?

Well, we decided to make cake batter brownies and holy balls.  They are sweet.  My husband and kids LOVED them so I decided to share the recipe.  Me on the other hand – blech.  I am not a sweets fan.  I would much rather devour a bag of Doritos than a box of chocolates, just me.

 

Here is what you need……and yes, it helps if you by a box of cake mix that is 69 cents.  (On a side note, why am I so cheap sometimes?!?!?  Lord, help me.  Duncan Hines was 2.19 and this was 69 cents, I could not help myself).  And don’t ask where the top is to my sprinkles because it has been missing since Christmas.

Ingredients:

-1 box yellow cake mix (the cheapest shit you can find)

-1/4 cup oil (I use Canola for baking, don’t ask why)

-1 egg

-1/2 cup milk plus a tablespoon

-Sprinkles (the tiny ball kind) about 1/4 cup

-1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix the first 4 ingredients and make sure you fight over who gets to lick the spoon.  Screw it, just take out two spoons.

 

It will be pretty darn thick, this is normal.  After you mix it all together, add the sprinkles and the chocolate chips.  Then spread it in a greased pan.  Then add more sprinkles, naturally.  Not the big 9×13, I think the one I use is 8×8.

I bake it for 25 minutes but some ovens could go up to 30.  When you take them out they will still look a little gooey in the middle, this is normal.  You have to let them set for at least 30 minutes before you cut into them.

Now the final and most important step is to make sure you fight over the brownies after they cool down.  Really do it up.  Run around the house with the pan and scream that you want them all and you will not share.  Just before you are about to get a time-out, give the pan back to your Mom.

 

Serve them with a giant cup of milk.  Or you could skip this recipe all together and hide in your closet and eat an entire bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos.  It might be easier.
