Tasty Tuesday: ‘Smores cake!

Have you ever heard of a ‘smores cake? Neither have I, until today. My husband loves chocolate éclair cakes, so I’m betting this is very similar—if not gooier and even tastier! I love how the marshmallows on top of the cake are burned, too—to me, it’s not a ‘smore unless part of it has been roasted! That’s why I love the Steak N Shake campfire ‘smore flavor much more than the typical marshmallow taste of a shake that claims to be a ‘smores shake! Too bad it’s only around once a year. Or maybe that’s a good thing…

For any lover of the cheddar biscuits at Red Lobster, you’ll surely love these jalapeno and cheese biscuits. With just eight easy ingredients, you could have the perfect accompaniment or snack. And to tell you the truth, aren’t cheese and jalapenos always a good idea together? Also on the Beautiful Mess blog this week: Healthy Chocolate Orange Brownies and a Chocolate Banana Shake. That last one is right up Indy’s alley, too.

Do your kids like gummy bears? Here are 12 different delicious gummy recipes that are a bit healthier than the typical brands. (If you love gummies yourself, feel free to make them, too!) I have to say that these are also cuter than any store-bought gummy bears that I have ever seen.

Speaking of bananas, how about some banana maple granola? As delicious as it looks, I think I’d pass on the pecans. My mom and daughter love them, but that particular addition must’ve skipped a generation with me!
