Better-Than-Anything Cake

I was introduced to this decadent dessert whilst attending Snow College where it had another name but we'll stick with the more conservative one so as to be able to speak around our small children. :)

Prepare one boxed chocolate cake, per back of the box instructions.
Poke holes in cooled cake every 1/2" with the end of a wooden spoon.
Drizzle on 1 (14 oz.) can of sweetened condensed milk. Let sit for a minute so as to soak in. Drizzle on 1 small jar caramel ice cream topping.
Spread on 1 container of defrosted cool whip topping.
Sprinkle on 1 cup toffee bits.
Serve immediately or refrigerate.
Break out 1 Richard Simmon's Sweating to the Oldies the next day.

Cherry cherry Yum Yum


This is another recipe from Mom's stuff. I used a pie tin and it fit well.

Crumb Mixture


Mix 3 c graham cracker crumbs (this is about 8 or 9 oz of crumbs) with 1 1/2 sticks of melted butter.

Cheese MixtureCombine an 8-oz package of cream cheese (soften the cream cheese before this or it will be too stiff to spread -- I ended up using a mixer so there wouldn't be any lumps) with an 8-oz tub of Cool Whip.

Layer 1: Spread half the crumb mixture on the bottom of a pan.
Layer 2: Spread half the cheese mixture on Layer 1.
Layer 3: Spread 1 can cherry pie filling on top of Layer 2.
Layer 4: Spread the second half of the cheese mixture on Layer 3.
Layer 5: Spread the second half of the crumb mixture on Layer 4.
