Don't know whether to laugh or cry...
I recieved the following "recipe" on one of my Yahoo Groups. At first I thought it was for Chocolate HEALTH Bar Cake. Boy was I wrong!! It is so sad that the person who sent it really thinks this is food!! Her comment was: My son hates cake, but he LOVES this!
Like a car wreck, I just had to share!
CHOCOLATE HEATH BAR CAKE
1 German chocolate cake mix
1 jar caramel topping
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 lg. carton Cool Whip
2-3 Heath candy bars, crushed
Mix and bake cake mix as directed on the package. When done, use the handle of a wooden spoon to punch holes in the cake. Pour the caramel topping and condensed milk over the cake. Let the cake cool. Spread the Cool Whip over the cake. Sprinkle the crushed Heath bars over the Cool Whip. Serve in small portions because of the richness.
Yeah, I'll bet. My teeth hurt just reading it. Reminds me of that awful jello salad with "things" congealed in it...like cabbage and peanuts...gross.
cabbage and peanuts in jello? there are few things that sound less yummy right now...
(do people actually eat that??)
I think my blood sugar shot up just reading that recipe!

My stomach feels queasy just thinking about all of that sugar....not to mention the chemicals. Cool whip had always just seemed so unnatural....whipped hydrogenated oils that somewhat resembles a dairy product....mmm :-\

It was served at my highschool in the 70's with regularity. Finely grated cabbage and/or carrots, with peanuts, in orange or lemon jello. Called "sunshine salad." Ugh!!
Second only on my hate-list to cabbage slaw with chemical mayonnaise (Miracle Whip--the miracle is it didn't kill you) and salty peanuts and marshmellows. Gross.
I've actually made that cake once and never again. It's one of those cakes that sometimes come under the title of "Better than Sex Cake" and of course that title intrigued me so I made it. We couldn't eat it because it was so sickly sweet. I might have known reading the ingredients. A couple of years after I had discarded that recipe to the "never try again" pile, one of my co-workers brought this to work as a treat. I passed on it knowing what it was, but the rest of the staff room just gobbled it up as if they were sex-starved.
BTW this cake could be easily veganized if you'd like to kill a vegan diabetic you didn't like. >:D
What are you talking about? this cake sounds awesome *rolls eys* Mmmmmmm! I just can't wait to eat something that will cause all my teeth to fall out! This totally sounds ike something one of my aunts would make!
i would totally eat a vegan version of this.
i'm not kidding.

Me three. ::)
i would definitely indulge in a vegan slice of this. i agree heath bars=so good.
my mom makes one of those green jello desserts with shredded carrots and idk what else, it's a family tradition that i've never partaken in...
thank you, you three.
i was beginning to think that i was crazy but i went ahead and said it anyway.
One, two and three you just think you'd like that cake. I'm telling you it was tooooooo sweeeeet. I was sick before I got a small piece eaten and I love gooey, creamy sweet desserts.

i bet the vegan version would be amazing, though.
This is all my friend's favorite cake. People make it ALL the time. bring it to school/work/church stuff. I don't like it because i don't like toffee. or getting really fat, because seriously, the fudge is delicious.
my mom makes one like that with a mint cake, covered in chocolate fudge and cool whip with mint in it.
My mom made a totally nasty cake yesterday. here's what's in it:
1 lb sweetened chocolate bars
1/2 pound butter
8 eggs
That's it. She tried to get me to eat it and I was like... no. It comes out of the oven like pudding and then sets up to a fudge thing ( i think ) after a day.
yes. that sounds gross.

Now _that_ sounds gross. A picture of overweight America. The first cake actually sounded good (but I've been craving sweet things)--can't you just leave some of the sugar out to make a less sweet version?

Yeah, seriously nasty. 8 eggs? Yuck :P

People use sweetened condensed milk all the time in S. Spain in their coffee (a hangover from the famine years in the 30's and 40's.) I can't imagine dumping it aaallll over a cake, though the can size probably makes a difference! "One can" here is like a pint and a half! I hate US recipes that say "one can" of this, "one box" of that, like you know how much that is. Well, OK, maybe you do, over there, but a cup-measurement or similar would be nice.
To me, candy bars AND cake AND gooey fudgy goo is too much. A candy bar, all right. A piece of cake with icing, fine...but all together? Excess. Maybe I've lived on the Med too long.
ew...thick much??
that cannot taste good much less be good for you.
and she probably thinks she's a good parent.

Hmmm, that sounds like a sort of slobby, less-healthy version of Nigella Lawson's 'chocolate cloud cake', which my sister baked for me on what happened to be my last pre-vegan birthday. Anyway, it was a flourless, souffle-like cake which puffed up during baking and then slumped in the middle to become all soft and fudgy. Then the whole thing was covered in a cloud of whipped cream. OMG it was yumbles (and decadent). The inclusion of a little cointreau, and only the darkest of dark chocolate, made it divine. :D Probably not veganisable, and that's probably a good thing. (But hey, tonight I've learned that I can make a decent fudgy vegan brownie instead...)
