Cake Batter Candy Cups
Awhile back, I saw this candy at the Dollar Store.
They were little cups that looked like mini peanut butter cups, but they were filled with cake batter flavored candy.
Obviously, this needed to happen in my life.
I decided not to buy them, because I had my hands full of fifty trillionty other things, like Andy Capp Hot Fries and cute drinking glasses (why is the Dollar Tree SO ADDICTING??), but I made a mental note to try to create the Cake Batter candy myself later on.
So when I was trying to think of something fun to make for my birthday week, I remembered these and decided to give them a whirl.
Don’t they look fun?
All you need are 5 ingredients, and THIS candy mold. The recipe makes about 4 dozen.
Preeeeeeety perfect for packaging up in cute bags and handing at a birthday party, if you ask me.
Or Valentines? Just throwing it out there.
These are so easy and so fun!! I hope you enjoy them.Cake Batter Candy Cups
INGREDIENTS
- 16 oz vanilla candy coating wafers or almond bark
- 1 cup dry Funfetti cake mix
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 of a 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 Tablespoons melted butter
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a large bowl, combine dry cake mix, powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk and melted butter until thoroughly mixed. You can use a wooden spoon, but I always end up using my hands. Cover with a damp paper towel to prevent mixture from drying.
2. Melt candy coating or almond bark according to package directions. Place a small amount in the bottom of each candy mold, enough to fill the mold about 1/3 of the way. Roll about a teaspoon of the cake batter candy into a ball and press into the candy mold. Spoon more melted candy on top and sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles. Place in the fridge to harden.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I realize you could be doing more important things with your time. Like watching the news or washing socks. I hope you stay awhile. Much more fun than socks, I promise. 
Yum-Yum-Yum! If it weren’t so late, I’d go make these right now!!

Happy Birthday Kristan!
I’m going to make these for my son’s birthday, which is next month. The kids will go gaga over them!! Thanks!!
What an amazing treat!
So fun for a birthday treat (Happy birthday!!!), and so easy, too. Perfect for those random cake batter cravings. Everyone has those, right? I am not the only one who makes cake for the batter only? Hmm.
Happy birthday week!
I was just wondering where on earth you get all those fabulous food ideas and now I know; the dollar shop.
:) Just kidding – your treat recipes are amazing!
I know I’m a little late to the party but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I hope you ate lots of these for your big day because they look AHMAZING. Seriously – may have to switch in pink and red sprinkles and try em out for Valentine’s Day :)
I’ve never really gotten on the cake batter bandwagon, but I’d make an exception for this. Seriously, this looks so delicious! I wonder if you could spread it into a bark, in the absence of the candy mold?
Yes please!! Can’t wait to make these for a friend’s birthday…then make a second batch bc I’ll eat all of the first batch :)
This is so creative! & Very adorable to give as little gifts.
Um…this is like the most genius thing ever. Which, you know, I tend to say every time I come to your blog. So, basically, yeah. Do something new already. I’m tired of being impressed by your smartness.
I love this, going to make these for my daughter’s birthday this weekend as we’ll be going away…will they keep for a day or two?
These look AMAZING to say the least! Thank you so much for sharing! I want to make them ASAP! A question though, do they need to be refrigerated? Thanks!
