We are excited to say we have our first, delicious sponsor, Chocoley. We’ve partnered with this family-owned company to bring you some insanely delectable chocolate desserts with their amazing products.
A few weeks ago, while sifting through John’s eHarmony and Christian Mingle emails he insists on forwarding to the email address we share for QitK, there was one that contained a proposal that involved FREE chocolate. This is the thing of dreams.
Just a few emails later, we found a big box of great chocolate products on our doorstep. We resisted the urge to ‘sample’ all 6 pounds of chocolate sent our way, and found some great recipes on their website that we tested out.
This particular recipe spoke to us deeply. And by ‘spoke to us’ we mean it seemed the recipe with the least work to achieve the most delicious end result. Like london’s gooey butter cake, so many good things seem to start with a box of cake mix.
decorative toppings/sprinkles of your choice Bake the cake according to its packaging instructions. Remove cake from oven, trim edges (they are too crispy for the filling), and carefully place cake into a large food processor or bowl of standing mixer. We did the stand mixer. Crumble the cake in the processor or mixer. While still warm, add the icing and begin mixing until the consistency is smooth and the icing is fully incorporated. It should resemble Play-Do. Sweet, sugary, delicious Play-Do. Place the mixture into the refrigerator and let cool. Line a baking sheet (with at least 1″ sides) with wax paper. Melt 1 pound of the chocolate, ideally in a double boiler, but a microwave on medium power never hurt nobody, just be careful not to burn the chocolate. Spread the melted chocolate on the wax-lined baking sheet, smoothing with a spatula. Place in fridge and let set for at least 10 minutes. Once it is set, spread the cooled cake/icing mixture over it. Melt the remaining 1 pound of chocolate, and spread smoothly over the top of the cake-icing mixture. If you are gaying up your cake with rainbow sprinkles, candles or edible confetti do that now before the top layer of chocolate is set. Place in refrigerator for an additional 10-15 minutes to fully set. Cut into individual squares and store in an air-tight container all while trying not to eat these all in one sitting.
