My niece is at it again!  She made this tasty Kit-Kat Cake for Christmas, complete with red & green M&M's!  However, you can switch up the toppings to go with any occasion!

Ingredients & Materials Used:
  • Betty Crocker Cake Mix (your preference of flavor)
  • 2 Containers Icing (your preference of flavor)
  • 1 Bag M&M's (or your preference of topping)
  • 4 King Size Kit Kat Bars
  • 2 Round Cake Pans (disposable or reusable)
  • 1 Serving Platter
  • 1 Ribbon


Directions:
  1. Prepare/bake cake mix according to instructions - splitting batter between 2 round cake pans
  2. Let cakes cool before icing!
  3. Place 1 cake on the platter and ice the top of it.  Place the other cake on top of that and ice the top and sides.
  4. Break apart the Kit-Kat Bars, placing them snug against one another until the entire edge of the cakes are secured (like a fence). 
  5. Place your ribbon around the cake, but not too tight!  This is to hold to the pieces together, but you don't want the candy bars to break.
  6. Place your desired topping (M&M's, etc) on the top of the cake, covering the entire top!

By far one of the easiest, and tastiest, recipes I've ever made!  I'm addicted to these quick dinners, especially since you can basically mix together whatever ingredients you want (as long as you have a binding agent to help mold the ingredients, i.e. marinara sauce). Incredible!

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cans of Garlic Butter Crescent Rolls (substitute regular flavor if desired)
  • 1 lb. Italian Sausage
  • 1 Package of Turkey Pepperoni
  • 3 Cups Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 Cup Marinara Sauce
  • 1 Cup Optional Vegetables
  • 1 Egg White

Directions:

Prep Time: 20 min. Cook Time: 30 min. Total Time: 50 min. Serves: 5
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
  2. On a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, spread both cans of crescents separately
  3. Press each of the seams to form a single layer of dough on each
  4. In a large bowl, combine cooked sausage, cheese, marinara and optional veggies
  5. Spread mixture over the centers of the croissant doughs evenly to create a log
  6. Using a sharp knife, cut horizontal strips 1 inch apart down each side of the crescent dough.
  7. Fold the dough strips over the top of the mixture, alternating left and right to create a braid
  8. Brush the top of the braid with a beaten egg yolk
  9. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes until golden brown
