Paula Deen Homemade Kitkat Bars Recipes

AUTUMN KIT KAT LAYER CAKE (W/ REESES PIECES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350
• To make the cake:.
• In a large bowl, combine the Duncan Hine's cake mix, milk, eggs, canola oil and chocolate pudding mix . Mix until everything is moist and then mix on Medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Divide cake mix evenly between two 9" greased round cake pans.
• Bake for 28-31 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 5 minutes then remove cakes and cool completely on wire rack.
• To make the icing:
• Spoon vanilla icing into a bowl and add peanut butter. Mix with hand mixer until combined. Add more peanut butter, to taste.
• To assemble the cake:.
• Place one cake on whatever plate you are using to serve it and icing like normal, adding some extra on the top.
• Place the second cake on top of the first cake. Icing the second cake to create a layer cake. It does not have to look pretty -- you won't see it anyway.
• Break Kit Kats in half so that 2 bars are still stuck together. You will use between 10 and 12 (4 packs) of Kit Kats depending on the size of your cake.
• Spread some icing on the back of each Kit Kat section and begin placing them around the cake (vertically and right next to each other). It will begin to resemble a fence going around the cake.
• When you've gone the whole way around, tie the Autumn themed ribbon around the cake to keep the Kit Kats in place.
• Fill the top of the cake with Reese's Pieces (you will probably use a whole bag).
• Cover and refrigerate or serve immediately.
• You can also use different cake and icing combinations or top it with seasonal or regular M&M's to fit any occasion. Coordinate ribbon to match!
