Chocolate cake is always good!





This is the BEST chocolate cake recipe I've ever made - I've made it several times and each time it comes out PERFECTLY! Each time, I get RAVE reviews - the kids will love it!

Do easy stuff for them - they don't need to be impressed by some intricate fancy stuff!





Snack wise... hmm... I'm obsessed with sweets, but maybe a taco dip kind of thing - or even chips and salsa! (It might not be worth the trouble to try to coordinate the treats with the television show.)


Pigs in a blanket, cookies...

this is a very delicious chocolate cake;





1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix


1 (5.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix


1 cup sour cream


1 cup vegetable oil


4 eggs


1/2 cup warm water


2 cups semisweet chocolate chips





Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).


In a large bowl, mix together the cake and pudding mixes, sour cream, oil, beaten eggs and water. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour batter into a well greased 12 cup bundt pan.


Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cake thoroughly in pan at least an hour and a half before inverting onto a plate If desired, dust the cake with powdered sugar. Serves 12..

my favorite cake is lemon, filled with vanilla pudding and cherry frosting, Sounds strange i know but yum! also since it's for kids here is an easy cookie treat my kids LOVE : peanut butter cookie mix, rolled into small balls placed into a mini muffin pan bake till done then while still warm press a mini peanut butter cup or Rollo into the center. trust me!
