BANANA PUDDING POKE CAKE!!!

Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix (& ingredients to make cake)
2 box (small) instant banana pudding
4 c milk
8 oz whipped topping
20 vanilla wafers, crushed
sliced bananas - use your own judgment

Directions

1. Prepare cake in 9 x 13 pan according to directions on box. When golden, remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.
2. When just slightly cooled, use the handle end of a wooden spoon to poke holes into the baked cake. Don't be shy; make the holes big enough for the pudding to seep into and go deep enough with the spoon that you hit the bottom of the pan.
3. Next, prepare pudding mixture. Combine 4 cups of milk and pudding mix; whisk until fully combined and there are no lumps.
4. Pour pudding mixture over entire cake. Spread evenly, filling all holes.
5. Refrigerate for two hours or until set.
6. Top with sliced banana, whipped topping, and crushed vanilla wafers! Serve and enjoy.

BROOKIES!!!!

1 scoop of brownie batter + 1 scoop of cookie dough in a muffin pan = Brookies!

The idea (and photo) came from Williams-Sonoma who make this and sell it as a Baking Mix called Baked Brookster.... Well they charge $16.95 for a box!!!! I got my ingredients for under $3!

Make brownie and cookie mixes according to box directions, put brownie mix in each well of your pan then drop cookie dough on top. Bake as directed on box BUT start checking about half way through the directed time so your brownies stay moist (remember they are a smaller cook area when made as a muffin size and it will vary a little for each oven).
