It’s mehhhh burffffdayyyyy!

Another early older? Yes. A little wiser? Still thinking that one through. I would consider myself wiser to realize I am no baker. The baking is saved for my fiance who is ever so careful when following recipes. His banana bread recipe is to.die.for.Just waiting to share that little gem with you all. Me on the other hand, it is more like a pinch of this, spoonful of that and as it goes into oven, realized I forgot eggs. Ugh.

Take my go at making Peanut Butter Banana Waffles one lovely Sunday morning.  While I whisked away, instead of  what was supposed to be a spoonable batter, I wound up with a ball of goo. Not yummy. Enter the baker in the house. Immediately started questioning my tactics and wondering what I ‘forgot’ to add. I pondered on the right way to tell him that I ‘forgot’ to add the banana. Seems like a rather critical ingredient, huh? Well with a shaky voice, I lightly mentioned we didn’t have any bananas…thinking it would be perfectly acceptable to forgo the one thing that provides the fluffy moistness. Ugh, again. That was the defining moment I got my baking ability was taken away.

So let me introduce you to a delicious no bake, sprinkle filled, dainty dessert. The cake batter flavored white chocolate perfectly plays off the salty pretzels and of course sprinkles are necessary. Because who doesn’t like sprinkles?

Another perk, you get to devour these beauties immediately! No waiting blah blah blah amount of time to bake then cool. I don’t have much patience; let alone for my dessert to get in my belly.

With that, I am going to let you hustle on over to the kitchen to make me a birthday treat! You really are too sweet.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (24oz) vanilla almond bark
  • 1/2 cup Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix
  • 1 package large pretzel rods
  • Sprinkles of choice

Instructions

  1. Prepare a lined baking dish with parchment paper. _You can use foil as well.
  2. Fill a sauce pan with 1 inch of water and place on stove top over low heat. Finely chop the almond bark and place in glass bowl (or heat resistant bowl). Set on top of sauce pan to heat chocolate. As chocolate melts, continually stir to ensure a smooth chocolate and no lumps are left. You can also melt in the microwave on 50% power, stirring every 20-30 seconds; as well as using a double broiler.
  3. Once chocolate is completely melted, whisk in cake mix.
  4. Hold a rod by one end and dip it in the chocolate, leaving an inch or two uncovered. I ended up twisting the rod as I removed it from the chocolate to make it smooth.
  5. While holding over the parchment lined baking dish, sprinkle over while chocolate is still wet. Place on parchment paper to set.
  6. Place the pretzels in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set the chocolate.

    I do not see anything in the recipe as to what to do with the cake mix. Does it get mixed with the melted bark? These sound so good and I want to make them. Thank you so much.

    Where does the chocolate come in, I thought you said "Almond Bark" just wondering and is it a mushy texture if the cake mix is mixed with the Almond Bark, why not just dip the pretzels into the Almond Bark and then sprinkle the "sprinkles" over the pretzel rods. Wouldn't that be easier. I want to to some pink ones for a baby shower, any hints about how to do that. Thank you for you answer to the "cake" and "chocolate" question.

      Hi Dianne, Chocolate is essentially almond bark. It melts better than chocolate so it is ideal for melting and dipping food into. The cake mix does not make it mushy if you slowly whisk it in when the almond bark is completely melted. The cake batter whisked in is what makes these 'birthday cake' or 'cake batter' flavor. You can leave it out but they will just be white chocolate dipped pretzels. Its up to you. And for pink ones just add a couple drops of red food coloring until you have the shade of pink you like. Hope you enjoy.

        No Meg, Almond Bark is tempered white or dark chocolate thats mixed with whole almonds and poured into a sheet and let to harden and then broken up. Just say white chocolate or Candy Melts.

          Hi. Well the brand I use is Almond Bark, also known as vanilla flavored candy coating, is a chocolate like confection made with vegetable fats instead of cocoa butter and with coloring and flavors added, rather than tempered white chocolate with mix ins. The confection is commonly used to cover or dip fruits, nuts, cookies, or crackers, in place of real chocolate. Thanks for your comment though!

    Not to be daft, but I am assuming you're mixing in dry cake mix, not cake batter that's been mixed with eggs, etc... Correct? Thanks!

    how long can these be stored for? Once set can they be kept out of the fridge? Thanks

      Hi Lisa, I would imagine a few days stored in an air tight container. I would store in the fridge to be safe; so the chocolate doesn't melt if your house is a bit warm. And kept out of the fridge, I would a while as long as its not too hot. Enjoy!

    Hi Megan, I made these for my sister-in-law's baby 'sprinkle' and they were a hit! I used nonpareils. I'm going to make them again for my daughter's preschool holiday party; have you tried flavored sugar? Will it melt on the warm chocolate?

      Hi Kristina! So happy to hear they were a hit! That makes my day :) And I have not tried flavored sugar but it sounds delicious! I wish I could help on whether it will melt. Please let me know if it works!

    Thanks for this tasty recipe! I don't like to bake, so this was perfect for me. I'd just like to mention that I live in a suburb of Detroit and I wasn't able to find the Vanilla Almond Bark at Target, Kroger or Meijer -- only Walmart carried it. Hope that helps to save someone a little time.

    Is it safe to put dry raw cake mix in with the chocolate? Don’t you have to temper the cake flour ? Just a thought 🤷‍♀️

      Hi Rose, I understand the needing to cook it so you can temper it first if you like!
